Hi and welcome. Whenever your body and mind are comfortable you may start the timer and begin. The invitation is to simply notice what shows up for you. Take that observer you are and notice your thoughts. Just simply notice what’s going on for you right now. There is nothing to judge. There is nothing to take your attention. Just notice where you are and notice your thoughts. How are your thoughts?

And again, posture so important and it becomes more so as your meditation deepens and lengthens.
