how do we sit.
 

what be our favorite seating position

my new found seating favorite be
a forward and also a down right
leg and foot and left foot crossed
to right leg inter - locked to ankle

I have to lie down with two huge pillows to prop me up because I have a problem with my neck. If I was sat upright in a chair and fell asleep it could be a bit dangerous and I could hurt myself. Problem with this is that sometimes I do fall asleep.

seating be in the power of the beholder

you people still sit? why so behind? I am already levitating :angel9:

anyway, remember to use a cushion / zafu when meditating, I found out about this many years later and finally the back pain is gone.

interesting how we can use instrument with so little

I sit on a meditation cushion..love it

ha ha ha ha :smile:

I suppose most would prefer to sit in padmasana or some variation of it, but it is ok to sit anyway you can. Sometimes people may lack the flexibility to sit in a particular way. Using a cushion is fine if you feel you need it. The practice is more important then sitting a certain way. As long as you feel comfortable, you should be alright. Be sure to keep your back straight though.

I prefer to lay down in savasana. When I sit I get sleep in my legs after 40 minutes or so..
