You will hear many different theories on how to sit while meditating. The most well-known position is sitting with your legs crossed in what is referred to as the lotus position, as shown in the image below. Personally, I cannot sit in that position for long periods. If I lie down while meditating, I usually fall asleep. However, I have found that when I sit comfortably with proper neck support, I can maintain a level of comfort that makes stillness easier. Someday, I hope to design a meditation chair that provides support for the body, regardless of size or fitness level.
