Meditation Posture : Tip #1
This is the first point of a series of 7 meditation tips that are the traditional instructions on the meditation posture.
1. Finding your seat
It has long been recommended that the place where you will practice should be clean and relatively quiet place in which to sit down. You do not have to create a spotless environment in which to practice, but some straightening up of your meditation room can be helpful. If you do not have much space to work with, a good solution is simply to face a blank wall. Also, you do not need to shut out all sounds and so on coming from the world outside, but it is good to turn off sound from devices such as telephones and TV’s etc. You will soon find that random noises from open windows and so on can actually be useful in your awareness practice.
The key point
- is to choose a time and place in which you will not be interrupted.
