What Are The Postures And Aids For meditation?

Nov 29, 2022
When trying meditation for the first time, most people will find that they start to have back pain after sitting for a few minutes, can't sit up straight, very uncomfortable, etc.

So what are the small points to note during meditation?


First of all, the sitting posture. Whether it is the meditation sitting posture in yoga or pure meditation sitting posture, you need to find a correct body posture, the leg in front of a leg in the back in a crossed or parallel state.

This posture will largely relieve the physical tension of people trying to sit in meditation for the first time. After adjusting the leg posture, make sure that both hips and the sit bones are supported steadily downward;

at the same time, the pelvic mouth is neutral and upward, and the low back is not tight, so that the spine is naturally straight and extended upward with space.


Both shoulders naturally sink to the sides of the clavicle; slightly tuck the jaw, hands naturally palms face up or down on the left and right sides of the knees/thighs above, or palms overlapping on the front side of the abdomen

(yoga meditation practice will involve handprints part here not to expand in detail).


Meditation sitting posture
Some people may find that they cannot sit straight after they have adjusted their sitting posture. There are several situations, one is that the hips are too tight, resulting in the legs being restricted in abduction above the pelvis.

The second is that you can not find the feeling of a neutral pelvis (generally due to the weakness of the lumbar abdomen collapse waist arch back).

Students in this situation can choose a suitable aids to pad the position under the hips. The angle of the hip pad is generally higher than the knees, so that the legs can naturally sink downward, the hips have more space to reduce discomfort when maintaining a sitting position.


How about comfortable sitting meditation
Why is it not recommended to sit in the Lotus posture? First of all, for beginners too difficult posture will be easy to be the beginning of the pain excessively with the run; secondly, full lotus sitting posture on the ankle pressure continues, if you have ever sprained ankle, then this posture will continue to create pressure on your ankle is not conducive to ankle stability, and will not bring any benefit

The next part is the auxiliary equipment.

Yoga tiles, folded yoga blankets, futon mats, meditation mats, etc.. All of them are more practical aids for sitting.

The purpose of the aids is actually to cushion the hips and create space for the hips. So according to this logic, the small blankets at home, sofa pillows, thick books, etc. can become a choice. Of course if you are a person who likes to have a sense of ritual in everything you do, you can go to our HOME page to have various styles of playing cushions for you to choose from. https://www.yogajt.com.
