Why There Is No 'Perfect' Meditation Posture

It feels like every tradition has a prescription on how you should sit; where to hold your hands, what to do with your eyes, and how you should handle sleepiness and pain are all prescribed.

For advanced practitioners, these suggestions should be heeded, but for beginners, they can be a hindrance - one that can be so off prescriptive and off putting that it may cause said beginner to stop practicing.

Simply put, the perfect posture is the one that keeps you meditating.

As always, this is a good reminder for all of us that it’s not so much how we are postured or where we are or what we are doing as long as we are doing it and focused. Appreciate that reminder and you as always.
