There are a number of preparations to make to have your body in a state to get the best possible results from your mantra meditation practice.
Its a good idea if you are into a spiritual physical discipline to do this before mantra meditation practice so that the body is warm. However if you don’t have this type of practice just do your mantra meditation practice after you have showered and cleaned in the morning.
Posture is one of the core elements to a successful mantra meditation practice. You want to aim to have a posture where the spine is in alignment.
Cross legged sitting positions are ideal. There are a number of variations of this posture. For the flexible there are the cross legged variations such as the lotus and half lotus postures.
Use cushions, bolsters and mats and whatever you need to make the position comfortable. The secret to the cross legged positions for correct spinal alignment is to tilt the hips forward. To achieve this sit on a cushion with legs on the floor. This position enables the hips to naturally tilt forward. This aligns the spine naturally.
For those who have difficulty with this position there are alternatives.
You can try the legs folded with shins parallel to ground and sitting on your feet position. Use cushions if you need to make the position more comfortable.
There are alternatives for those that have mobility problems and find sitting on the floor difficult. Find a chair. Hard chairs are better for this. Sit up straight with the spine in alignment in the chair.
Remember that you should never put your body in a position of serious discomfort. That is not the aim of mantra meditation. It is essential to always listen to your body and in finding an aligned spine work with a position that is comfortable.
When the spine is aligned it also aligns the body, mind and chakras to have the best focus for the mantra meditation practice. This enables you to get the best possible results of your mantra meditation practice.
