Establishing the Foundations of Breath Awareness and Posture

Preparing for the practice

This chapter introduces the essential foundations of mindfulness meditation by orienting you to simple breath awareness and a stable, comfortable posture. You will begin by learning how to observe the natural breath without effort or control, allowing attention to settle in a gentle and steady way. Careful guidance on posture supports both physical ease and mental alertness, creating the conditions for sustained sitting practice. Together, these elements establish a grounded starting point for meditation that is accessible, natural, and free from strain.
