maybe it’s difficult to compare pros and cons of posture, since any one entity (us) would tend to choose a posture and then stick with it.
props like mantra or watching breath are great tools to begin with but the act of doing, then stepping back a bit and witnessing is still observation, a subtler action, yet an action. softening attention by releasing anticipation of prior experience, even memory imagery, effectively means being reborn anew in each moment, in an aspect of childlike wonderment ... animated, agendaless, acceptant. since there is no room for a pretended emotion, it is a shift in orientation ... slowly dampening attention oscillations
