Hi, in my opinion you shouldn't meditate for too long on the first month's, if you meditate too much, you will receive to much energy which your body isn't used too and become ill. At least one time per day, 10/15m per time. Preferably in the morning (charging batteries for the day), when you advance (you will KNOW when you progress... maybe 1/2 month later), you could do both morning, and before sleep (and now this will trigger the lucid-dream/astral-projection aspect, better dreams,etc) and finally, when you feel so... a little meditation at mid-day too!(it's kinda meal, yummy)! But please, start calm, do not expect anything, have no expectation at all, and the things will begin flowing to you in a relaxing a pleasurable way!


Binaural beats works, but once more, it is a "fast-forward" button that shouldn't be pressed, because in the end, you are not aware of what could come to you (therefore, not prepared), i had bad experiences/results because of binaural beats. BTW, you can use nice relaxing music as alternative, and it works really well without the "dangerous" involving the binaural beats. I like this one very much (I never listened this kind of music before start meditating, but you know... this is real music, not that commercial crap that we are used to listen):


In my opinion, meditation it's one of the most power tool that human race can use, so go calm, you have your whole life to meditate!


Namaste!
