How to Sit for Meditation: A Step-by-Step Guide
-
Choose Your Seat:
-
Use a cushion (zafu), chair, or sit directly on the floor.
-
If using a chair, ensure your feet are flat on the ground.
-
-
Posture:
-
Sit with a straight spine, but remain relaxed.
-
If on the floor, sit cross-legged (half-lotus or full-lotus if comfortable).
-
If in a chair, keep your back straight without leaning too much.
-
-
Hand Position:
-
Rest your hands on your knees or lap.
-
You can use a mudra (gesture) like:
-
Gyan Mudra: Thumb and index finger touch, palms facing up.
-
Dhyana Mudra: One hand resting on the other, palms up.
-
-
-
Head and Eyes:
-
Slightly lower your chin for a relaxed neck.
-
-
Breathing:
-
Take a few deep breaths to settle in.
-
Allow your breath to become natural, not forced.
-
-
Focus:
-
Direct your attention to your breath, the space between your eyebrows (third eye), or a mantra (like “Om”).
-
-
Maintain Stillness:
-
Aim to sit without fidgeting for the duration of your practice.
-
If discomfort arises, notice it but try to stay calm.
