Day 6 Supportive Seated Practice.

We had a great question in class yesterday about the different body positions we can practice in. The one in question was lying completely flat on the back. Now, it can be done of course, but the challenge will be remaining focused (not falling asleep) during the meditation.

To remedy the call for a little more comfort during our practice, I present a back supported seated position. I will include a picture from my practice today at the Spa. Here you can see I am seated in an arm chair, but what you might not be able to see is the small pillow behind me at mid back. This allows me to keep the spine straight while sitting in the cushioned chair.

I really encourage this type of meditation if you are:

a.) Finding seated position on the floor to be too challenging… at this beginning part of the journey. Again, with the stretching practices, I know this will become easier over time.

b.) You are practicing new or more dynamic breathwork routines. This ensures comfort and safety during the practice.

Giving our bodies grace and comfort as we grow through these practices will unlock new levels of mindfulness.
