Finding a position

In this first guided session, learn why finding a comfortable position for meditation is so important, then find the one that works best for you before giving your first mindfulness session a go. Meditation isn’t meant to torture you. So find a position that works for you! Keep in mind: It’s best to sit up straight for your daily practice, but if lying down is all you can manage, that’s OK. Keep your knees below your hips. This helps keep you comfortable and reduces strain on your back. Keep an upright back, but one that's still relaxed.
