Sitting, closing my eyes and guided. I need it to be like that because I drift away/get distracted too easily. I even try to get audios to play "behind" the guiding so that it cancels out any other noises. But you have to try and see what’s best for you.
I lie down because meditation longer than 5 minutes outside too much pressure on my lower back and it hurts. Sometimes a pillow helps but I do it to end my day so laying down just puts me in a more restful state anyway. I usually close my eyes, it helps me visualize better. If I’m having concentrating I’ll put on music to help me focus.
I lie down and play a two minute meditation video from YouTube. Silence, and deep slow breathing for two minutes helps as well.
I sit down in the Sukhasana pose. At times with the gyan mudra, at times the hands stay clasped in my lap. Back is straight, ahoulders, neck and jaw relaxed but not slouching. I play nature sounds (mostly wind, birdsong or water) and prefer having my eyes closed.
I sit on a chair every morning, straight up. I use the Headspace app for a couple of years now. I close my eyes and listen to a guided meditation, with a headset in my ears in a silent room.
I meditate in the shower. The water is white noise to me and it helps me focus on what I’m trying to accomplish either for that day or the next.
I sit with closed eyes in silence. This is my usual posture while meditating. For relaxation I found more effective lying down and do a body scan meditation. IMHO posture, meditation style and so are very personal, the best approach is to try different combination and find what suits you.
I sit with my back against a wall on my bed with closed eyes. Usually I listen to a meditation 🧘♀️ guide or rain sounds while meditating.
Typically I sit with my eyes closed in an upright position. I pretend there’s a string at the top of my head connected to the ceiling, allowing my posture to align. Sometimes I do guided meditation, sometimes I like silence. It does help to focus on your breath, and even stare at the flame of a candle, or try a mantra for the first few minutes to get you going. Body scans are great as well.
I mostly sit up in a comfortable sofa chair or chair with arm rests I used to close my eyes but nowadays I fell more comtkeepibg my eyes open and judt either look at a picture or a tree outside a window and focus my thoughts. In the evening when I try to go to sleep, I am going to try laying still, closing my eyes , and quieting my mind using the Sleep Meditation MMF routine.
