Although certain postures – or asanas as they are often referred to – are known to help some people to meditate, they are not necessary. Commonly, people will associate meditation with the assumption of a lotus or half-lotus position. This can help to relax you and open up your airways, but it is not necessary to meditate properly. Some people will associate these and other keeling postures with entering a meditative state so they can be helpful beyond their spiritual significance. However, simply lying down – known as shavasana in Buddhism – is equally as good. In some Buddhist traditions, meditating while walking is a preferred technique, something that is known as kinhin.
