RSS FeedsHow to Sit on a Meditation Cushion
We get less and less supple as we get older. If you’re new to meditation, and are having problems with stiffness or pain, maybe it’s your sitting position that’s causing it. There are lots of different ways to sit for meditation, each position with its own qualities and each tailored for varying levels of flexibility.
This document I found has a lot of useful information on which positions you can use, either sitting in a chair, on a meditation cushion or meditation stool, and also includes a nifty checklist to run through just before you begin your practise, which should increase your comfort and relaxation whilst sitting.
There’s also a YouTube link to footage of a talk on how to sit. It’s about 10 minutes long, but contained therein are lots of very useful tidbits of information.
