Usually you sit down for a Silva Mediation 1 to 3 times a day. 5 to 15 minutes each time. There is usually time between listening. If you are following along with the course. You listen to the explainations discussion about the exercise and then do it. So you would take a break of 20 minutes that way. I do recommend that you take a break between exercises when you do it on your own. That break helps you to train your mind to go to level faster each time so you get to a point were you just say the numbers and you are at that very deep level.
Jose always recommended three good times to do the meditation. in order of preference. Morning upon awakening, Evening before sleep, After lunch. Each of these times you closest to the alpha level and it makes getting to level easier. As for time he would say once a day is good, twice a day is better, 3 times a day is excellent, 5 minutes is good, 10 minutes is better and 15 minutes is excellent. If you have a health problem practice 15 minutes 3 times a day.
When doing it after lunch just make sure you sit up and don't exceed 15 minutes. You'll find a natural slot that is about 30 minutes after eating where you feel the effect of the meal triggering alpha. That's a good time to go to level.
