A question that is not that easy to answer, as it is a broad topic! But with the help of different teachers I want to answer this question for you! :)
You are in search of the perfect position for meditation? Find it with the help of the following videos! :)
Sit in a chair with a 90-degree knee angle and posture; lotus or cross-legged positions are not proven superior. Try chairs, remove shoes, and keep legs 20 cm apart.
The lotus seat, a symbol of meditation, reflects Siddhartha Goh Tama's enlightenment, but it is hard to achieve, not for beginners, and may strain the knees.
Learn kneeling as a simple meditation position, relieve leg pressure with cushions or a small bench, and use a blanket if needed, especially for knee comfort.
Lay in the meditative position with guided sessions to relax the body, stay awake, and avoid drifting off, or lay down after sitting to ease the lower back.
Learn to meditate through standing and walking by slowing weight shifts and engaging muscles, integrating walking as a core part of mindfulness in daily life.
