It\u2019s up to you the individual. There are times when I sit upright and others when I lie down comfortably. I\u2019ve heard of some people who would meditate while out walking and there\u2019s a group of people who meditate whilst exercising! (How\u2019s that for multitasking!). So you see there\u2019s different ways to do it and you\u2019re NOT a lazy meditater!  Just don\u2019t fall asleep whilst doing it!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Janet S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">The main issue is that if you\u2019re still in bed you may fall asleep. That\u2019s why sitting up in straight posture has been taught in yoga for thousands of years; meditation is not sleep but it can lead to sleep and drowsiness if lying down. Depends on your goal! In the morning you should probably be sitting up. It\u2019s personal preference, do you feel calmer and more energized? Then maybe laying down is okay. Try to pair with some deep breathing. I\u2019m a certified yoga teacher btw. Hope this helps! \ud83d\ude42 <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Anthony P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I don\u2019t think that it\u2019s lazy. I\u2019ve been to many yoga classes where the meditation in the end is while laying flat on your back. I think it\u2019s always important to personalize things to where they feel right for you. I do the evening meditation last thing before I go to sleep, when I\u2019m already in bed. It gives me the best sleep as I usually drift into sleep during it. Hope this helps \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ella E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Hello \ud83d\udc4b\ud83c\udffc Through my experience I\u2019ll suggest you, do whatever works for you. In my case I lay down every night before I go to bed and meditate, sometimes I even fall asleep because I\u2019m tired. But, that\u2019s ok. The reason to meditate at night is to calm down my body and thoughts and go to sleep. In the morning, I meditate as well, but in a sitting position crossed legs. This meditation for me is the time when I woke up my body and make my intentions for the day. That\u2019s why I need to be seated.<br \/>\nBut once again, if you feel more comfortable laying down, do it. I think there\u2019s no correct or wrong way, it\u2019s only your way.<br \/>\nWhis you peace, love and happiness!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Deuv Nia P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I haven\u2019t tried doing meditation lying down. I actually started doing meditation sitting upright to correct my posture. So I can\u2019t help much.   But doing a quick search on the internet, I found this: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.expandinglight.org&#x2F;free&#x2F;yoga-teacher&#x2F;advice&#x2F;lying-down-meditation.php<\/p>\n<p>Hope it helps<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Daniel F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Doesn\u2019t matter at all. Whatever works for you. It\u2019s only when you get super yogi about it that you need to start considering the different leg and hand positions. If it is causing you stress then do more research. I\u2019ve done the research and I don\u2019t care I just lay down to meditate. Even yogis recommend that with beginning students. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marl Cia E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I can understand that. It is sometimes quite uncomfortable. Sitting is the best, but you don&#39;t have to do it just like that. You can sit on the chair and rest your back as well. Try it. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Olivia W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I looked it up and it says you can mediate sitting up or laying down. But sittting up is better to mediate but it doesn\u2019t matter <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jade Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\"> So it depends on the type of meditation technique you are using, some are meant to be sitting up and there are others that will allow you to lie down. Obviously the techniques that you lie down for are to help you relax, sleep and reenergise. So it\u2019s up to you which one you prefer. Stay Happy!!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marlies F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Lying down is ok as long as you don\u2019t fall asleep. It\u2019s harder to meditate lying down because it\u2019s too relaxed that the physical mind will go to sleep mode. Hence, no benefit spending time meditate in lying position.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jason E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">In Spiritual teachings sitting upright in my experience is the first thing one reads or hears and a certain amount of disapline Is a benefit &#8211; a return to an empty space &#8211; However I have found laying down promotes thinking thus said attention to the minds chatter is an important component .  So sitting or laying in a prone position is possible for the intention to meditate<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Russell Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Of course it\u2019s fine to lie down. Just be careful not to fall asleep. \ud83d\ude09 If you\u2019re a beginner I\u2019d recommend keeping your practice short and sweet. Maybe a gentle alarm to keep you from dozing off. If you have a bad lower back (like me), place something folded under your needs to reduce strain in that area. Or if you get chilly (also me), drape a small blanket over you. Just get comfortable. The path to meditation is yours, keep doing what works for you. There is no THE right way. Best of luck! \u2764\ufe0f <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Larry Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It is usually recommended, but imho you can meditate in every position, even walking or running. When you are lying down you jist have a bigger chance to fall asleep and you have a different type of heaven-earth connection. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kathryn J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If you feel meditating while laying down keeps you zoned into the process much better and makes you feel more comfortable, then it should be viable. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Enora Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I don\u2019t think that it is necessary to be sitting upright to meditate. I meditate when I am lying in bed sometimes and it helps me to relax before going to bed. I also will meditate lying down when I wake up really early as well. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Idalina F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I also like to meditate lying down. For me it is a way to fully relax. I understand the risk is falling asleep. If that\u2019s no problem for you I don\u2019t see a problem&#8230;<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lucas N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have always lie down mainly because that is what I thought you did after going to yoga classes etc kit seems the best way <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Chlo Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I always meditate before bed lying down so when it\u2019s done I can just roll over and sleep. It\u2019s so much easier to do it lying down because you can relax your body more and just sink in the mattress&#x2F;couch. Not lazy at all, you do you!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Christian C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think you can meditate in whatever position you\u2019re comfortable in. The problem of meditating while lying down is that you\u2019re more likely to fall asleep.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sean U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It doesn&#39;t matter how you meditate, if you don&#39;t have time, even if you are walking to work and you can manage to focus on you and your thoughts is very good, the important is to be concentrated, no distractions. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jord O B.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">There are benefits to sitting upright: your deeper airflow is uninterrupted, it&#39;s better for your core, and you&#39;re less likely to fall asleep if you get bored! However when I meditate at night to help get a good night&#39;s sleep, I always do that lying down to help me transition to sleep. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Suzanne J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">you can sit on a chair, on the floor, you can lay down, you can stand up. it doesn&#39;t matter. just remember that meditating is not laying down and daydreaming. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Karl Ernst F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Most meditation instructors will tell you to sit in a chair with your feet planted on the ground, while keeping your back straight, but without holding tension. The goal is to remain relaxed and alert at the same time. Sitting upright helps prevent you from falling asleep. Whether you practice mindfulness, or the various other forms of meditation, such as mantra, tantric yoga,<br \/>\nOr Raja yoga, with visualization, and many other forms known to experienced yoga adepts, the goal is to be relaxed, alert, to allow your practice to be fruitful.<br \/>\nThat being said, I have meditated while lying down successfully. I originally meditated while seated in the half lotus posture, a crossed legged position with one foot placed over the other , resembling the cross legged seated posture. When younger, I used to sit in a full lotus posture. Not today, as I don\u2019t have the flexibility.<br \/>\nMy concluding point is that you may successfully meditate in any position that you feel comfortable as long as you are relaxed and maintain alert to pay attention to your inner being. It\u2019s a learning process and a lifelong journey of discovery of self.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Celestine E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think it\u2019s fun to lie down, as long as you don\u2019t fall asleep! The important thing is to feel comfortable and like you won\u2019t be interrupted <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Cordula Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">There is no right or wrong way to meditate. It\u2019s about learning to focus on the present no matter if you\u2019re sitting or lying down <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Magda J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Whatever position and time works to clear your head and push out thoughts is my version of meditation. Some mornings I can sit upright before my baby wakes up, other times I listen to piano music on the subway and focus on my breathing, and other times I consider my running my meditation. It varies with what life throws at me for the day and it\u2019s certainly not perfect, I\u2019m no picture in a yogi magazine, but pushing out day-to-day thoughts, frustrations and my to-do\u2019s and instead thinking about my breathing, my gratitude and my positive sense of self in that moment is meditation for me. \u2764\ufe0f<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Wayne E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">No not at all! There are meditations that you should sit upright . But you can also meditate lying in the comfort of your bed . People say you should sit upright because it sends the brain the &#39;discipline &#39; signal . Most meditations are based on discipline and mindfulness. And also when you are lying down you are more likely to fall asleep because the bed is where we relax and also SLEEP. If you are lying when you are meditating, be sure to not to do it in the bed . But meditation is all about feeling good so do it the way you like . Good luck on your journey! \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Crystal O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I meditate laying down every morning (not in bed, on floor). I sit all day and want to make meditation utilize a different posture. It\u2019s not lazy!!!! <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Rasmus P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Good question! During meditation you can sit, lie down, or even stand if you want to! However If you tend to fall asleep during meditation, try meditating while sitting in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. If you want to use meditation to help you fall asleep then definitely do it lying down, but it you\u2019re trying to work on your mindfulness, I would recommend meditating while sitting upright. Just remember though, there is no \u201clazy way\u201d just keep doing it and you\u2019re doing fine! Hope I could help! \ud83d\ude0a<br \/>\nBen<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Malo T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Meditate whatever way feels right for you.  That\u2019s the key.<br \/>\nFor me &#8211; i will meditate lying down right before I go to sleep at night.  That\u2019s a natural position to be in and I move through meditation into sleep very easily. In the morning though, I prefer to sit cross legged on a cushion. It\u2019s my go to position and I enjoy my meditation much more .<br \/>\nShort answer: do whatever works for you<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Paige E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Nope, I\u2019ve heard multiple times from various instructors that it\u2019s fine to practice many meditation &amp; mindfulness exercises while lying down. Sometimes though, the explicit recommendation is to sit upright in a chair or on the floor, or to assume a specific position to be more effective&#x2F;present in the mediation. I normally don\u2019t meditate lying down because I have a tendency to fall asleep while doing so. Hope this helps! <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Q.
