The Right Posture
When learning to meditate, strive to make comfort your ultimate guide.
This rule applies to and defines the meaning of the right posture.
If you are sitting, find a position in which you are not experiencing any excessive discomfort or pain.
Find a position that you are able to hold for longer periods of time.
To reap the most benefits, find a quiet and uncluttered room in which you can sit undisturbedly.
Your garments should be comfortable and loose, and you should not be wearing any adornments.
Wristwatches, necklaces, and belts often create pressure that can be disturbing and get in the way of settling your mind down.
Most importantly, when you find the right position, try not to control nor expect anything.
