The following tips on meditation posture are intended to provide guidance for newcomers to the practice of meditation.
Meditation
is customarily practiced in a cross-legged pose, sitting on a cushion
or folded blanket. Meditation can also be practiced while sitting or
kneeling on a chair or stool. The key point about the pose for
meditation is that the back is straight to enable the mind to stay
relaxed but alert and so the belly and chest are open for easy breathing. The aim is to reach a state of equipoise, or physical
and mental balance, which can be maintained for increasing periods of
time.
