There are many dynamics involved. for me, it's best to keep it open ended.

many possibilites are there, but if time limits are set, there is in a sense already a degree of contrivance.........

 

Sometimes, only 2 minutes can be so powerful, that it ends right there.........other times, 2 hours can feel short...............

 

 

i just like to be fluid with it, be open

Radio Shack makes an inexpensive kitchen timer which counts either up or down.

It has a quiet beep which is not disturbing. It also stops beeping after apxox five beeps

so you can continue your meditation or yoga pose if so inclined.

I have a kitchen timer that beeps a short beep 10 minutes and 5 minutes before the time, then continuos beep. so I would set it for 1 h 10 minutes and when it beeps first i have a 10 minute window before I have to turn it off.

 

Also the program 1Time is good. I get sounds from this site- and use this "bowl" sound.

if you want a really basic way of making your cds, you can download soundforge, this is a recording program tht you can play with all your on music and make gaps for as long as you want

soundforge rules...but it aint cheap

 

I pretty much never keep track of how long I am meditating...I just do it until I feel like I've had enough. I think sometimes its a good thing, sometimes...not so much
