Sitting is probably the most known posture or position to be in during meditation. Sit on a cushion to lift the pelvis off the floor and sit cross-legged. This helps straighten the back. Rest the hands lightly on the legs, or cup them together in the lap. Try not to slump or slouch. I do recommend sitting on the floor. It is solid and will give more support. Sitting on a soft bed or couch might make it harder to keep your back straight. If you find that your back or shoulders hurt and that's distracting, you can start by sitting up in a chair or against a wall. There is a variety of cushions, stools, and benches that help with this position. You may need to try this a few different ways to find out what works best for you. During my retreat, focus was placed on the cyclical nature of the breath entering and leaving the body and the sensations that come along with that process. This is a good beginning object, but if you have trouble with it, just try another object.
