Sitting: a guide to good meditation posture

As increasing numbers of stiff-limbed Westerners take up the practice of meditation, one all-important question arises: What is the best way to sit?

This clearly presented booklet provides some essential advice on the various sitting postures one can adopt, and explains how to sit in them comfortably without risk of harm.

A number of helpful loosening-up exercises, drawn from Hatha Yoga, T'ai Chi, Alexander Technique, and conventional 'PT' are introduced and illustrated.

The author is a long-standing member of the Western Buddhist Order. Previously a Yoga teacher, he helped establish a meditation retreat centre in North Wales and is also the author of MEDITATION: THE BUDDHIST WAY OF TRANQUILITY AND INSIGHT, a Windhorse bestseller.
