turbo Posted February 4, 2005 Howdy Ya'll I dont frequently post but I do try to read most of what is posted. Anyways, I was reading a link somone posted to a yoga webiste about various postures. I sit on a coushin on the floor everyday for two hours and meditate (www.dhamma.org). When I began meditation and qigong my instructor (http://www.shengzhen.org/) said to keep the left (yang) leg on top of the right (I use the 1/2 lotus posture). So, the yoga website said to switch wich leg is on top b/c it will pull your hips outta alignment if you dont. Guess what, its helped realign my whole posture!! Great stuff. Its all about balance. Now the left leg is on top in the morning and the right in the evening. Perhaps you may find this useful. Cheers, Turbo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aetherous Posted November 28, 2009 Now the left leg is on top in the morning and the right in the evening. Perhaps you may find this useful. Why did you choose to do it this way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inedible Posted November 29, 2009 Why not increase flexibility and try to use the full lotus more of the time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

effilang Posted November 29, 2009 OP should be able to meditate without a coushion by now, while still maintaining the same altitude off the ground provided by the sitting aid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
