Lying on the bed doesn't feel very good for my back. I also don't like cross-legged positions, crushing my feet like meatballs.

But for meditation it's necessary to relax and be supported. So I have a sofa chair that I sit upright in. Use same sofa chair for vibrations and meditations.
I do like laying on my back on the floor as well. But it just feels better and my mind works better sitting.
I have two pillows from my bed I put on the arm rests and I cross my legs wide with knees resting on the armrests.
I cover the sofa chair with a sheet to keep it clean. It's second hand. An old man sofa chair but good quality. All padded and firm.
The only thing in my mind is to not cross only ankles when meditating.
Early on my journey to find Satan and years ago as a teen. I went to a Spiritualist Church.
And we were told not to cross our legs when meditating because it cuts off the energy flow.
I remember always having a foot nudge my crossed ankles apart.
I now consider it a yoga pose to have crossed legs. So I can have crossed legs because of Yoga.
But I could never meditate with only my ankles crossed because I have that conditioning now that crossing ankles cuts off the energy flow.
It's not wrong, also HPS Pythia stated that sitting crossed leg cuts off the circulation.
In reality, this energy block is useful. In Yoga, it is said that the blocking of energy by the crossed legs acts as a Bandha so as not to disperse energy and bring it to the head.
Cutting off blood circulation is never a good thing.

That means one is lacking in flexibility. Those who have the necessary flexibility are free to choose which posture to be in.

So you mean that the force and pressure of one foot on the other is due to a lack of flexibility? That makes sense.

I really like yoga. Some people think yoga is nonsense, and they say they meditate but they don't even know what meditation is. They sit down, close their eyes and then think :roll: :lol: , this is not meditation.
