There will be a sense of ease and interest, and one begins to look around and become acquainted with the mind that is meditating. A few ideas and guidance on this come in a later section. It can be useful, however, to provide reference points to the large source of guidance in the Theravada Canon, as well as to the teaching of many contemporary masters who still find such words more precise than their English equivalents. Focusing the mind on the body can be readily accomplished while sitting. You need to find a time and a place which affords you calm and freedom from disturbance.
Timing is also important, particularly as most people's days are quite structured with routines.
It is not especially productive to meditate when you have something else to do, or when you're pressed for time. Begin with fifteen minutes or so. Practice sincerely with the limitations of time and available energy, and avoid becoming mechanical about the routine. Meditation practice, supported by genuine willingness to investigate and make peace with oneself, will develop naturally in terms of duration and skill. The development of calm is aided by stability, and by a steady but peaceful effort.
