Part 3/6:
Meditation can often pose a challenge, especially for those who are not accustomed to being still. The instruction encourages utilizing a mudra (hand position) or breath technique to anchor oneself deeper in meditation. Recognizing that many may find it difficult to sit with clarity, the practice emphasizes the importance of maintaining a straight spine. For those struggling, props like blocks can elevate the hips to ease discomfort and facilitate a better posture.
The practice of meditation is likened to yoga itself, where asanas (postures) were developed to prepare the body for prolonged periods of meditation. For those accustomed to sitting in chairs or slumping during daily activities, assuming a meditative posture can be a new yet rewarding challenge.
