Having a good meditation posture is often under-emphasized. It is both conducive to deeper relaxation which primes the mind for deeper investigation of mind and body, helps prevents injury and reduces pain in the body. This is useful when sitting at length for many hours daily such as a S.N Goenka 10-day Vipassana Meditation retreat or even just at home for 5-20 minute sits. It's important to realize that there is no perfect meditation posture. Making a short video on how to sit for meditation such as 'how to sit for meditation for beginners' is impossible as each individual is different. Moreover, there are many different meditation postures.
Traditionally, these are Walking, Standing, Sitting and Reclining. I didn't mention this in the video, however various postures produce different energetics. If you can lie down without falling into dullness/lethargy, go for it. Sitting is the most popular of all postures however as it is reliably allows for wakeful/relaxed investigation of mind. In this video I present 6 KEY principles for a successful meditation posture. They can be applied across many different meditation postures (such as Lotus). The posture presented in this video is known as 'Burmese' style or 'Easy pose'.
