Sitting meditation

Ten minutes. 

Sit in any comfortable seated position. If your legs, hips, or back are tight, use plenty of cushioning. 

For example, if you sit in a cross-legged position on the floor, place cushions or folded blankets under your hips as well as your legs.

If you prefer to kneel on a bench, to sit up in a straight-backed chair, or even to lean back in a soft reclining chair, that’s fine. 

What is important is that there is no anxiety or discomfort caused by your posture, so that your focus can remain internal. 

When you are comfortably seated, bring your awareness to the feeling of the breath touching inside your nostrils, and focus on this sensation.
