Meditation seat
« on: February 24, 2011, 12:44:24 pm »
I feel comfortable sitting on this seat that I made to suit myself. It helps to keep my back straight and has greatly reduced the numbness and pain in my legs.The pain in the back and legs was unbearable in the beginning until I decided to make some adjustments and this seat let me meditate in peace. Just sharing

very nice design nirmal  :namaste:

If kneeling, I place a folded blanket or cushion between my calves and posterior.
I stopped using chairs for computer use, so am used to sitting tailor style.
Not uncomfortable in the least.

Sitting is not an exercise in sado masochism
A full lotus comes easily to me but people equate it with
spiritual progress, so I rarely deploy it publicly
So now half lotus will suffice

Attentive, still and relaxed.
Not contorted, suppressed and stressed

If you don't enjoy sitting . . .
something is not right . . .  :dharma:

Sit on deer skin
Protect your internal resources
Insulate your seat
From disruptive earth transmitted energies
Could we benefit others
If we ourselves
Buffet back and forth
Under shifting currents of worldly energies.
(page 54 - 55)

I agree, and on occasion I enjoy using a comfy chair. :wink1:
