(Disclaimer: This is my personal understanding and so not to be taken as official Sahaj Marg/The Heartfulness Way explanations.
The terms may be understandable only to abhyasis and the ideas probably appreciated only by regular practitioners and/or trainers.
The general direction of each element is one way - to or from the inside.)
Two elements
Morning meditation - sitting from the inner Master
Evening cleaning - sitting from myself, supported by the inner Master
Two elements with a different perspective
Morning meditation - listening to the inner Master
Night introspection+prayer+meditation - communicating to/with the inner Master
Other elements
Universal Prayer and other sankalpas - undergirded by the inner Master, building and enhancing a positive attitude and supportive mind-field for humanity, and individuals and groups of humans. Initially. Then extending to all life.
Constant remembrance - real-time, as-needed, sittings and communication with the inner Master. To paraphrase Babuji - everything can be completed by constant remembrance; all the time it is charging. [1]
Group meditation - individual sittings for everyone in the group, plus work on interrelationships, plus work on group as a whole. This extends across all groups sitting at the same time in different locations.
Bhandara or celebration - group meditation with Grace. Grace can descend at any time, but it is certain and especially palpable during a bhandara, to which abhyasis across the world come. Perhaps the certainty is because they will change the mind-field of their own areas when they return.
NOTES
A sitting has only two activities - cleaning of the mind-field and transmission to it. Both activities are guided by prayer, and infused with universal, positive, sankalpas. For optimal effects, trainers should be in a state of positivity, gentleness, and humility. And realise the fragility and delicateness of the mind-field upon which the work is happening.
Transmission is always the same, the subtlest possible forceless-force. But when it goes through a mind-field, that absolutely pure, universal , attributeless love may get coloured and so become grosser. Hence the injunction that trainers should clean their mind-fields before giving sittings.

03:30: I'm telling you, everything can be completed by Constant Remembrance.
Even meditation is not so useful as the Constant Remembrance, but we must do it. It has some specific purpose also. Meditation has some specific purpose also.
But you see, this Constant Remembrance is very useful.
Now I'm telling you: all the time charging. You are thinking of God and charging is there.
