Hey, it's nice to know I'm not the only one that meditates in "Corpse

position." To heck with sitting, I have very bad posture (minor scoliosis

as well) and it's hard on the spine. I find lying down on a hard flat

surface, arms and legs spread apart and neck and spine straight works the

best. And because the surface is hard and flat, I don't find it conducive

to causing drowsiness or drifting off to sleep.

 

Hari OM,

 

Tim

Hi Tim:

 

I find corpse pose especially good for physical healing as well as working

with sound currents there are actually 'points' on the soles of the feet

that will enable sound to work with the energy of the subtle body. While I

do much of my meditation practice in the more standard 'easy' or 1/2 lotus

pose I have no problem working with standing postures either. One thing you

might want to experiment with is meditating in 'yoga mudra' which starts you

out in rock pose to child's pose and then to interlacing your hands behind

your back and pulling the arms up as far as they can go. It is wonderful

for back and shoulder problems as you can move the prana where it needs to

be to regenerate the cells and release the tension. I know you spend lots

of time on the computer and this really offsets it well.

 

Namaste,

Linda
