    Full lotus position in India. We refer to it as the position in crossed-legged as frequently observed among statues of Buddha. In this position, the legs should be in vajra posture. Both of your legs should be crossed. The soles should be faced upwards. Here are some notes you should remember on how to meditate properly with this posture in mind.

    great lens! I find people to be intimidated by the thought that they may have to contort themselves into a pretzel to meditate effectively. It took a long time before I knew you could effectively meditate in different positions. Also, meditating in the northwest direction of your home can help deepen your meditation with less effort. :)

    I use the cross legged postion mostly, but my feet fall asleep if I do it for more than 20 minutes. My favorite is the Corpse pose. I can really achieve total relaxation with this pose and I never fall asleep. Thanks for a great lens!

    Hey lwhitelaw,

    Thanks for this article, It was very interesting. I haven't really seen these in my research on meditation, so thankyou.

    :)

    Very interesting. I don't, however, see the corpse position as one for meditation. I would just fall asleep! i do agree though with the benefits of meditation.

    Thank you! I think most of us get stuck using just one of the available meditation positions. I did giggle yesterday when my 7 year old granddaughter showed me the finger circle (thumb and index finger touching) - bet she has been watching her mom meditate!

    I have to admit I opt for the less painful of the positions particularly the lying down one! lol
