QUOTE : Find a comfortable posture, either sitting cross-legged on a cushion, kneeling on a meditation bench, or sitting in a chair. Keep your back straight, but without strain or tension. Let your hands rest easily on your knees or lap. It may take some time and experimentation to find the posture that is most suitable for you, but as you practice you soon “find your seat.” Gently close your eyes and let your attention settle into the awareness of your body posture. Stay relaxed, simply feeling your body just as it is. You can make a very soft, silent mental note, or label, “Sitting,” to help keep your mind connected with this experience.
