Walking seems to calm the storm in the mind. Once it is calm, I sit and focus on the object of my meditation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Stephanie F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I prefer sitting for my morning meditation  but if I am walking later that day and feel like it I\u2019ll meditate while walking too or before sleeping sometimes I\u2019ll meditate while in bed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Peter T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">What are what are the years I&#39;ve realized that I need a moving meditation practice in advance of a seated practice. So I am doing 30 to 45 minutes of yoga practice at home followed by 108 mantras followed by seated meditation for about 10 to 15 minutes.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Romarigo E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I love lying down, but sometimes I fall asleep. Sitting doesn&#39;t feel too comfortable. I do walking meditation as well&#8211;nature walks are my favorite<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Clarinda Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It really depends on the where and when.   Ideally, yes I like to be sitting outside in nature.   The sitting cross-legged helps me stay present bc of the wonderful stretch to my hips.   I also enjoy the breathing posture this allows.   BUT if I cant sit or I can\u2019t get outside, I just breath and go through my five senses.   What do I hear, feel, smell, see, and taste.  You cant help but be present.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Dale Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I prefer lying down, because in my yoga classes the posture &quot;shavasana&quot; is the most relaxing one, after all the workout, and I feel that way, my mindfulness is better<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Peggy P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I enjoy both sitting and walking when meditating. I live in the city so walking really forces you to focus which I like while still paying attention to everything going on around you. If I have the time there is also nothing better than sitting in a quiet room and meditating before starting my day. Lying down I find harder because I often fall asleep lol. Hope this was helpful.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jamie Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I guess i prefer to sit in general,  but I have often wanted more walking guided meditations but it seems like most aren&#39;t. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Isabella X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I prefer to sit down and relax, sometimes I will do something with my hands like colouring or craft, other times I stay quite still. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Christina S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I meditate last thing before I go to sleep &#x2F; sometimes sitting up in bed, sometimes laying  down.  When I occasionally  meditate during the day it is usually laying flat on my back on my bed<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Terra Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It depends on what my goal is n where I am when meditating. I like to lie down whenever I can mostly, but if I&#39;m focusing on energizing myself or something else of that nature &amp; in the morning I sit up. If I&#39;m loo4to relax &amp; release stress or getting ready to sleep I lie down. Just find what your most comfortable with. Try different options till you find your best fit. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jared F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I prefer to sit down in a chair. I\u2019ve tried sitting down on the ground before but I find it too painful, and I end up losing focus. I also take a few meditative breathes in bed before sleeping<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jeppe Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I prefer to walk or move while I meditate.
