Sean Fargo invites us to do open awareness meditation practice. This meditation is suitable for beginners, as it teaches the basics of open awareness.
A note from Sean
For open awareness, it helps most people to start with an anchor. Picture sailing on open water with waves from the energy of the day. If you drop an anchor first, the waves have a chance to settle. Then you can pull the anchor up and open out.
Try this today. Spend two minutes resting on the feeling of your feet on the floor. Then open to the sounds around you, then to your whole body, then to whatever comes. Nothing else to do, no one to be. When you get carried off, return to your feet and open again.

This suits beginners, and anyone who finds one point of focus too narrow. If open attention feels unsettling, or strong emotion or pain shows up, go back to the anchor and go gently. Stop when you need to.
