After a meditator went through a lot of pain in the one hour meditation session, Ajahn Dhammasiha explains some basics about suitable posture and dealing with pain in meditation:It may be more beneficial to mindfully change posture, rather than to push for maximum sitting timeIt doesn't have to be Full Lotus Posture. Other options are Half Lotus; Both feet on floor in front; Stool; Chair (Yes, it's possible to meditate on a chair!)It's much more important to sit with the back upright, than to sit cross-leggedIt doesn't have to be sitting meditation. It's perfectly fine to do mostly walking meditation (or standing meditation)A lot of the 'discomfort' is actually in the mind, not in the body. If we really enjoy our meditation, we naturally can sit much longer without much painwww.dhammagiri.org.auwww.facebook.com/dhammagiri-forest-hermitagewww.youtube.com/channel/UCJINt0JJBfFm_x0FZcU9QJwwww.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archive
