Q.
Due to cerebral palsy I have,
My body keeps moving during meditation and it's not easy to stay in the right sitting position.
Can people with disabilities like me do deep meditation?
If not,
How can I see trauma inside of me?
I can't say that I have to be in the right sitting position.
I can't say that I have to be in the right sitting position.
I can't say that I have to be in the right sitting position.
I can't say that I have to be in the right sitting position.
I can't say that I have to be in the right sitting position.
I can't say that I have to be in the right sitting position.
I can't say definitively that you have to mimic the position I am in currently.
I can't say definitively that you have to mimic the position I am in currently.
So what I'm saying is that if your body doesn't suffer from any of those obstacles you talked about,
Then the preferred,
The ideal posture is the posture that I have now.
But if your legs hurt,
For example,
If you have an injury,
You can't sit like this,
Then you can use a chair or you can use a backing.
And like the questioner,
If your body keeps moving around,
Then you can meditate while your body moves around.
So there's nothing that says that any kind of obstacles or sickness or disease is an obstacle to meditation.
Of course,
I don't know the extent of your disability,
But if it's a disability you can kind of live with,
Then it should not interfere with your ability to meditate.
Meditation is about your physical position.
It's all about your mental practice.
The objective of meditation is to be free from suffering and to attain a status of freedom.
To do so,
You have to free yourself from your desires and emotions and not pursue them or chase after those.
So unless your current physical disability also reaches down and becomes an emotional or mental disability,
Otherwise your disability should not interfere with your ability to meditate.
