Watch this just before sitting down to meditate to learn how to establish a comfortable, steady sitting posture with the fingers interlaced in front of the bladder.
Pointers
- Choose a sitting posture that combines steadiness and comfort. The posture may be motionless if possible, or at least steady and agreeable in form.
- Sit with the fingers gently interlaced in front of the lower abdomen, allowing the arms and shoulders to relax naturally.
- Allow the breath to flow freely, noticing its movement as the exhalation touches the fingers, without adding effort or control.
- Relax the entire body, including the tongue and all extremities. If sitting on the floor is not comfortable, sit upright in a chair without reclining.
