According to Thielen, the best way to sit for meditation is in a chair, or on the floor against the wall. “You’ll want to be fully supported so that the body will not interfere with the mind,” she says.  Whether you opt for the chair or the ground, “sit with a tall spine, with your head, shoulders, and hips over each other,” Newfeld says, adding that you should “feel regal, not rigid.” And if you’re not used to sitting on the ground, she recommends starting off using a cushion.  Patel also says that it’s fine to sit on the ground or a chair, but either way, recommends interlocking the fingers of both hands, and overlapping and locking both legs around the ankle. “By doing this, we pull our energy inward,” he explains, adding that you should also try to sit in the same spot every day and make sure that you’re comfortable. If you’d prefer not to sit, Dalzell has another option. “Walking meditation is also a nice alternative, and involves experiencing the senses as you move through space,” she says. “You can notice the sounds, feeling of your feet and body, smells, etcetera.”
