i pray all day, so.. many more than 5. for guidance and protection, my religion doesnt really exist although i experience it all day everyday. i can easily find myself praying every hour at least once.. sending those internals squeals out into the every listening wind, hoping they reach their destination. then, consciously, where i apart myself from external stimulus al maximum perhaps yes, around 5 times a day. but i dont have many rules i must abide to... there have been days i havent prayed at all, but thats ok.. there have also been days ive prayed so much that ive prayed for the days past and future that i do not pray on.
