How to practice

Find a comfortable cross-legged seat and let your hands rest. Sit on the floor so your hips are higher than your knees. Support the thighs if they need help settling.

Benefits

Creates a steady seated base for relaxed breathing, meditation, and awareness of upright posture.

Who should avoid or modify

  • Sit on a folded blanket if needed. Do not press the knees down; change position if the knees hurt or the feet become numb.
