Guide to Ānāpānasati

Step One
Sit upright. You may choose any sitting posture you like. If you
find it difficult, you do not need to sit cross-legged. You may also sit
with both legs side by side on the floor (neither pressing the other).
Sitting on a cushion of a suitable thickness helps you feel comfortable,
and allows you easily to straighten your upper body.
Then relax your body part by part, from head to foot. Make sure
there is no tension in any part of your body. If there is tension, try to
release it, and remain relaxed and natural. Otherwise, the tension will
eventually cause discomfort and pain. So be sure to relax your whole
body every time you start your sitting meditation.
