Hello~!
Oh, you're going to love this stuff!
It helps if you can practice at the 'same time' to build and train the energy...Typically, you'll want to go with what works 'best for you and your schedule' Also, it pretty doesn't matter 'when' you practice for the most part. Time is illusory in the sense...but for our 'every day' cycles, there are special points to take a look at...
Some points in the day, you'll be doing nothing in particular and not be busy--but get an interesting rush of energy--these are GREAT times to do QIGong.
Morning is a good time, as the energy is fresh of the day (Night-Yin, rising into Yang-Day) and it helps to have a good start.
Noon (11-1pm--the Height of Yang ) the heart channel opens. This is also good time.
Evening is also ok (Yang settling down to Yin), as you may be 'winding down' from your day and can use the time to calm your energy and 'discharge' energy patterns that aren't yours--although it usually only takes a few days of practice to notice, that you AREN'T so sensitive to taking on other people's energy
Midnight (11-1am the Height of Yin) The Gallbladder channel opens
as well as the Pineal Gland in the center of your brain (which is the 'physical side' of your Third Eye) This is a great time to do meditation if you are awake. If you are asleep during this time, the Pineal will secrete an additional amount of DMT (yes, the psychedelic substance--it naturally exists in your brain) which will propagate interesting dreams and REM states. If you are meditating during this time, you might have some interesting experiences--and if you choose mediation--try to cut out as much 'false light' (you want it DARK) because the physical eyes depend on physical light to see, this 'eye' is activates from 'energy light' or extra-dimensional frequency.
Also, another note on "other people's energy"---when you get your 'frequency up' your energy while often times heal them without knowing it (and after not too long, you'll begin to recognize when this occurs and what your energy is doing to help them) and in even higher levels you'll work on learning 'sensing the energy' and open specific channels and how you can help treat certain ailments and "what channels are affected, when so-and-so has a specific problem"
