Question 88: WHAT SHOULD WE DO IF WE FIND OURSELVES SLOUCHING WHILE MEDITATING?Answer: If we find ourselves slouching during meditation, it's a sign that our internal energy is weak. Forcing ourselves to straighten up won't solve the problem; we'll likely slouch again soon and find it difficult to sit for extended periods. When we notice we're slouching, we should shift our attention to the triangular tailbone at the base of our spine. This will naturally cause internal energy to rise, straightening our back without any conscious effort. Once our posture is stable, we can return to our usual meditation practice, focusing on the lower abdomen and maintaining slow, little and gentle breathing.The sacrum* is a remarkable part of the body. It subtly governs all other bones and serves as a source of internal energy when we focus our mind on it. Whenever we feel tired or weak, we can simply sit quietly, concentrate on the sacrum, and breathe smoothly. This practice will soon leave us feeling refreshed.(*) The sacrum is a wedge-shaped triangular bone located at the base of the vertebral column, above the caudal (tail) vertebrae or coccyx. It articulates with the pelvic girdle and is typically composed of five fused vertebrae in humans, which merge in early adulthood.Citation: https://www.britannica.com/science/sacrum#Buddha, #Buddhism, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Meditation, #Enlightenment, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #Blessing, #Goodblessing, #Janna, #JannaMonastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #LawOfKarma, #CauseAndEffect, #UniversalTruth, #KarmicRetribution, #AxiomaticTruth, #PhilosophyOfMind,
