4!
Um... 3-5, I guess: I try to sit twice a day, but sometimes I fall off the wagon :).

I sit at least once a day, twice idealy...about 30 minutes a pop right now.
4 but it's been tough since I got a young dog who chews his rawhide bones while I sit. The crunching and chewing sounds are distracting. I've also missed a few days lately while moving to Alaska. Wonderful drive though. If you ever drive the Alaskan highway (Alcan) stay over in a weird little town called Beaver Creek on the border of Yukon / AK. I've got great memories of the midnight sun at that place.
Also - Brad was definitely the catalyst for daily sitting for me. He helped gel decades of exposure & thought on zen into a real practice.
I haven't been motivated to up it to twice a day since my family is a higher priority for me (mornings I can sit before everyone wakes up).

I havent been sitting recently at all, hence the fact that i am hanging out trolling the comments sections...btw, i do have a girlfriend for Oxeye's question...
When i do "sit" i dont necessarily sit in lotus position.
I believe bare attention (awareness to the present moment) can be practiced at any time, any place, but obviously the more simple the situation the easier it is at first.

Every dang day. Rain or shine. Time or no time. Happy Fourth of July.
I'm a 4 (ha!). But it's all Vajrayana sadhana. I do sit with no mind tools on occasion when I have some time to myself
3; once or twice a week at the zendo and the rest at home.
3-4.
Drunken Monkey,
Yeah, but I bet my cock's bigger than yours.
You probably don't even keep chickens.

Apologies to everyone for the horrible joke.
Apologies for laughing at it!

If it's not too late to post, put me down for an optimistic 4, maybe a 3.9 or something because every once in a while I do miss a day, but let's say 27 days out of 30. That's about right.
Only 2-3.
your sincerely,

...one hour per sitting. I did sit almost every day for a while, but I'm quite lazy.
Jules and Drunken Monkey, you guys cracked me up. LOL
