lgohagon Posted September 6, 2013 My name is Lawrence. I am a martial artist since "75." I have always had an interest in Chi Kung. I have done one session of the 5 standing meditations and have had a serious response to my enery levels with only one session. I was wondering do I have to assume the half-lotus position when doing the 6 seated meditations? I have serious knee issues and pain and would like to know are there any other allowable seated positions for someone unable to sit lotus and do the work of this meditation? Please help, Lawrence Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaguaKicksAss Posted September 7, 2013 Lawrence, welcome to TTBs . Â What sort of martial arts? Â Btw, make sure to checkout the pinned posts in the lobby with the forum rules and so forth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RiverSnake Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) Welcome to TTB, in my experience most meditations can be done sitting, standing and laying, though more details on what kind of meditation your doing would be helpful. Â I primarily use Burmese posture on my practice....if you feel that your knees are taking some pain (which they shouldn't be) then you might want to try so me hip stretches. Â M 2 cents, Peace Edited September 7, 2013 by OldChi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
