Thank you for the insight.

I'd carry on the meditation, see if the tilting disappears or still present but won't be bothersome anymore.

@Greg yes, not something to be concerned by, though that's a given since nothing is worth clinging to :)

Can anyone enlighten me as why I feels like my body is tilted around 30 degrees to the right during meditation?

This happens around 10-15 minutes after I've started.
