I don't follow any formal guidelines. I usually share meditation space/time with my husband, and he usually does yoga as well as meditation. I lie down (though lately I have felt the need to change to sitting position, but that's been trying), and... I guess do what I feel needs to be done that day. Sometimes I do breath work. Sometimes I do grounding. Sometimes I clear my chakras or work on ferreting out blockages/issues. Sometimes I use crystals (I have a set near my meditation space that I pull from) Sometimes I do a more outward sending of love/light to specific areas (home, here, work) or Gaia or all of Creation. Sometimes I totally leave my body for the whole time. On good days, I do all of that. What I always do is attempt to shut down my conscious mind and connect with my time/space self. I also always light incense, and try to always give gratitude for my experience. I also offer gratitude for my guides and do a blanket invocation for their assistance. I usually spend 15-45 minutes in this space.
Of course, sometimes, I sit there and ruminate about something mundane and feel like I haven't accomplished anything. But I know it's the intention to make the connection that is important, not the perceived success/fail of the event.
