I went through massage training nine years ago and body mechanics was one of the most important tools to learn.

I would have never guessed that I would share body mechanics in regards to meditation.

But it is important and I have compiled four things that you can look out for.

#1 posture- particularly with your spine.  keep your spine straight. This will help you breathe better.

#2 Your eyes- some people do eyes open meditation but I recommend closing them. there are less distractions.

#3 Your hands- If you are sitting, rest your hands on your thighs with your palms up. This will ensure that you are not clenching any muscles in the arms and hands.

#4 Stay relaxed. If a foot or other body part starts to fall asleep or causes pain/discomfort, shift your body. You want to be as relaxed as you can get (without falling asleep).

These four tips for body mechanics will help your meditation practice develop and prosper.

Let me know how it’s going.
