Take a seat either in a chair or cross-legged on a cushion. And gradually become aware of the sensations of sitting - feelings of pressure in your back or legs, feel your arms at your sides, and perhaps take a few deep breaths.1 Allow gravity to settle you into your seat. Now gradually become aware of the process1 of breathing. Notice where you feel the breath most distinctly. Either at the tip of the1 nose, or in the rising and the falling of your abdomen. Just feel 1 the mere sensations associated with the breath -- from the beginning of the inhalation, to1 the pause between breaths, and follow the exhalation to the end. Simply cover the breath2 with your awareness. Just feel it however it comes. If it's shallow, that's fine. If2 it's deep, that's fine. Just let it come and go naturally.2 See if you can notice the next inhalation from the moment it begins.
