Hard to say, both because I haven’t been sticking very hard to any specific style of meditation, and also because the amount of meditation I’ve done has varied a lot, depending on various life circumstances. There was a time when I’d meditate for several hours a day; these days I do less formal practice (I try to go for at least twenty minutes a day), but I tend to also incorporate meditation into my daily activities and routines and maintain a level of mindfulness throughout the day. I tend to easily slip into a meditative state in the morning, after waking up but before getting up from bed, and might spend an hour or two that way.

I haven’t actually done very much pure vipassana; instead I’ve found tranquility meditation, “just-sitting” zazen, and most recently metta more rewarding.
