02. Lotus Pose

Starting position

Sitting with straight legs.

Positioning

Sit on the heel of your left foot, then put your right heel on your left calf. Your hands are on your knees.

In position

Steady breathing, still body, expanded back and chest, eased back stomach/abdomen.

Releasing

You come back to sitting with the help of your hands. Move to loosen the tension in them.

Impacts

Positive and negative circulation become balanced by not thinking, not speaking, and not acting; your body calms down, and will be prepared for receiving energy. The basis of lotus sitting is that your backbone shall be in the center from the coccyx (ground) to the dome of your head (sky).

Pay attention to! Your knees are not used to this tension or position so at the beginning keep your position only for a short while! If you feel pain in the lotus position, then just leave it and do cross-legged sitting. Do lots of stretching!
