Know How To Be In 7 Point Meditation Posture

Whether you’re sitting in a chair or on the ground on a cushion, there are seven things you should check on your body to ensure proper posture.

Sit.

Choose a seated position that is most comfortable for you. If you’re sitting on the floor, you can cross your legs. If you are in a chair, gently place your feet against the ground.

Spine.

Allow your spine to support you as you sit straight in a comfortable position. Don’t slouch, but don’t stretch your spine too far either.

Hands.

Hands by your sides, folded on your lap, or on your knees are all good options. See what works best for you, and after you’ve settled on a spot for your hands, don’t move them for the rest of the workout.

Shoulders.

Allow your shoulders to loosen by relaxing them. Keep an eye on yourself to make sure you’re not slouching or hunching over.

Chin.

Tuck your chin slightly lower by around 20 degrees while keeping your head straight. This keeps your neck loose – it shouldn’t feel tense at all.

Jaw.

Begin by moving your jaw slightly, either by opening and closing your mouth or by softly moving your jaw from side to side. After that, relax your jaw before meditating – tightness in the jaw can sometimes build up when you’re stressed.

Gaze.

If you prefer to meditate with your eyes closed, gradually relax your eyelids and maintain them closed for the duration of the practice. Find a point three to five feet in front of you and rest your focus there if you prefer to meditate with your eyes open. There’s no need to use a laser focus; they can softly stay on this spot. You might want to experiment with both of these meditation techniques to find which one works best for you.
