Show Notes
Ajahn Brahm explains that meditation posture has no rigid formula: sit comfortably with a reasonably straight back, using mindfulness and compassion to notice and adjust discomfort rather than forcing the body to remain still. These same qualities help quiet the mind, since kindness toward the present moment creates contentment and reduces restlessness, craving, thoughts, and escape. Regularly recognizing the peace and freedom felt at the end of meditation reinforces the mind’s inclination toward deeper stillness.
