Yes, but I find upright is better for sensing the gravity acting on your body, and I find it easier to sense the body’s points of contact with the seat when sitting than I do when laying. If it works better for you, do it. It’s a valid position to hold for meditation
Yes you can, as long as you can breathe in and breathe out properly. But remember that meditating while sitting up is the best posture to really be in a relaxed yet focused state because your energy needs to flow straight.
Yes! I learned that way. My meditation session in the morning is siting, but my evening session is laying down. There is not a lot of rules about meditation.
Yes! I realized one major thing preventing me from meditating before was my back pain. I meditate lying down now while I continue my physical therapy for it. I’m sure I’ll get to the point where I can sit up to meditate, but until then I can still get the benefits from meditating by lying down to do it.
I’d say probably, but be careful not to fall asleep. It’s not good to get too comfy for this reason. I meditate upright with my back supported, and it works for me
For me it doesn’t work. I can do only if I lissen a guided meditation, but often it is so relaxing that you can fall asleep. The better way is alwais to be sit,back straight, feet combined, palms facing upwards.
Yes you may do so there are many meditations that can be done while lying down although these meditations are intended to bring you to sleep so it’s preferable that you use a chair or a cushion and have a straight back .
Yes you can. Actually ypu can meditate whatever position you want like while walking,sitting you can meditate. Specially sleep meditations and body scan meditations after yoga is make lying down positions.
Lying down might Make you feel more tiredness rather than relaxed so I would be against it but if u think it’s better for you then by all means lye down
A lot of psychologists say that you can meditation in a lying down position. In my case, I can’t because I think that the lying position is to sleep, so if I lay down to meditate I’ll fall asleep. In conclusion, you have to see what is more comfortable and productive for you, because it really depends on the person.
