One of the most important aspects of meditation is to be able to sit comfortably while maintaining a correct meditation posture.


Your back should be straight, and body relax. you can sit in a Chair, a meditation bench, or a cushion on the floor. here are some options.
Sitting in a Chair


Are from the back of the Chair, with feet flat on the floor. If your feet can not touch the floor, get a shorter Chair or place a pillow under your feet to them.You want to your thighs are parallel to the floor.


Don't lean against the back of the Chair.This will tend to your chest. the idea is to sit upright with a spine, un-supported, and your chest expanded.However, if you are not used to this way, or if you have weak neck/back muscles or injuries, there are ways to overcome this challenge.


Getting a solid cushion and put it between your lower back and the back of the Chair. This will be the lumbar section of the spine, help to support its natural curvature.You can also place a cushion in the seat of the Chair to capture it.


Start with short meditations, gradually their time. This allows to strengthen your back muscles in the Energization exercises and time. yoga asanas can also help in strengthening your back muscles with regular practice.
Sitting on the floor


Meditation benches are a wonderful invention for the legs comfortably and keep the spine upright. you can also try sitting cross-legged on a pillow. The Crescent-shaped or round pillows are designed to help with Source this position.
