In this episode, Gil explores:
How posture can really help anchor us to the present momentBeing intentional with our posture in meditation versus giving into posture driven by emotions that arise during meditationWhy there is no perfect posture for meditation, only the posture that works best at this moment in timeTips and tricks for various meditation postures, from sitting on the floor to using a chair“And so the dharma posture is a posture that we can hold our sadness in, hold our grief, despair, whatever it might be, but without giving into it, collapsing into it. So it’s not denying it, but it’s also not getting entangled with it.” – Gil Fronsdal
