Posture
Sit Down or Lay Flat
While you may picture a meditator sitting cross-legged on the floor, you should never force your body into a shape that causes injury. If you are working on a sitting practice, follow these steps to ensure stability. Cultivating mindfulness while lying on your back is extremely valuable, especially for recovery. In yoga, this is known as corpse pose. Metaphorically, it is an invitation to let the past and future die away so you can wake up into the present moment.
