Hi D2C:
Meditation isn't about using a program to put yourself into a certain "mind-frame". So, at the outset, I'd say forget the "Brain Sync" thing for the time being, and actually learn how to meditate without "props". Also, just the title of that "awakening Kundalini" puts me off a bit. Awakening Kundalini is only something experienced meditators should do, and most experienced meditators will tell you that unless it happens "naturally" it could cause more problems than you'd want. Don't try to fly before you learn to crawl!
I've been teaching meditation for over 25 years, so my own experiences with this are pretty solid.
So, answering your questions:
1) It is helpful, but not entirely necessary, for you to establish some form of regularity of practice, and when you do, you'll probably find it's something you want to continue, not just something you "have to do". Keeping a specific area is good, but not absolutely necessary. In fact, learning to meditate in any place under any condition is quite beneficial as well.
2) Partly answered above in #1, however, to expand a bit, sometimes we are drawn off path for a while, because we need to move through more of life's experiences, and then we find ourselves once again drawn back to the meditation. It's like breathing - if you force yourself to breath in a certain pattern for a long period of time, sometimes that will cause certain mental and/or physical difficulties. If you allow the body to breath normally most of the time, it performs quite well. So with meditation, if you allow your spirit to guide you in what is confortable and healthy for you, you'll probably find a natural rythym that works quite well for your life-style. And one of the most effect, yet simplest meditations of all, is to simply observe your breath, and when you notice (as you will) that your mind has moved elsewhere, or something is bothering you, then simply move the awareness back to the breath.
3) I addressed some of this above in my opening remarks, but in answer to your adjacent questions, you'll find yourself being much more comfortable if you are "fresh" - even the act of washing your hands and face before meditating will give you some sense of separation from what you're leaving to what you're intending to do. It's little rituals like that, that will set the tone for your practice. If you like incense or scented candles, and it's convenient and won't bother others, then these also will provide an "atmosphere". If you set up a regular area for meditation, then having a small vase of fresh flowers is a nice touch - flowers tend to raise the vibration of the area with their colour and scent.
I trust this has been helpful. And congratulations on your decision to start meditating - I'm sure you'll find it a very worthwhile endeavour.
Cheers!
Unis
