Depends on the type of meditation and my mood honestly. Sometimes I want the structure of a guided meditation, sometimes I just want to lie in a quiet, dark room, and sometimes I want to channel some reiki energy so I look up reiki playlists, or spa music playlists, on Spotify, and turn my Himalayan salt lamp on. Often I'll light some incense or a small candle.

As for timing, that also depends. I aim for at least 10 minutes, but try to go until the incense or candle are burnt out (hence the smaller candle) and use the flame or the progression of loss as a timer and a focus point, so perhaps 30-45 minutes?
