Correct Posture to Be Focused During Meditation Practice

“The practitioner, if he sits for meditation, always must keep his/her head, neck and spinal cord (the back) completely straight. The respiration process will be slow naturally if one sits straight and so it helps in meditation and Jap [Simran, Mantra, Name Repetition]. If one sits bent, the respiration process becomes fast and so mind will not get concentrated.

“Sitting in straight posture the practitioner is benefited with the increased age along with the increasing concentration of mind due to the slow respiration.

“Lord Shri Krishna says: ‘Samamkaay shrirogeevam dhaaryannachalam sthirah.’ (‘Back, neck and head should be kept firm and straight.’)

“Lord Satguru (Maharshi Mehi in his Padavali hymns says): ‘Dhar gar mastak seedh saadhi aasan aaseenaa. Baithi ke chakhu mukh muni ishta maanas jap dhyaanaa.’ (‘Keeping trunk, neck, and head straight, and sitting in this perfect posture closing eyes and mouth start the practice of Maanas Jap and Maanas Dhyaan.)”

— Shri Bhagirath Baba, Santmat Tattva Jnaan Bodhini (Quintessense Of Santmat), the chapter titled, Know The Self Through The Self: http://sadgurumehi.com/satsangSudha/bhagirath/knowTheSelf.html#
