My left ear enjoyed this
lol
i just tried to repair my headphones
Yaa
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol I thought my headphones were shot
I've been meditating for almost 5 years, and I don't know why I never thought about looking up the perfect position for the least amount of strain... I always have to move and shift halfway through my session because my body starts aching. Thank you so much for this!!
Glad to know this video helped you! Anything else you're working on?
Did this video help you ? I mean do you feel better and more concentrate when you use the posture in this video?
I just realized how inflexible I am
We do have to start somewhere. What made you say so?
I was trying to meditate for a year
But i haven't found any perfect posture for me
But now i have played your video.
Dude it's perfect.....
Great to know! How long have you been practicing?
@@GotROM from jan of 2019
Beautiful! Keep it up! I highly recommend taking a 10-day retreat from Vipassana.org (it's free / donation based)
The cue about the knees being lower than the hip was pure gold! It immediately transformed my sitting experience even if I had to stack quite a few cushions to achieve it :) Thanks!
Yes! It's the key!
Absolutely, I've been meditating on and off. This is the first time I've made sure my knees are below the hips, my god I feel the stability already.
Thanks a lot for this!! I just transitioned to meditating for an hour instead of 20 minutes and needed a more sustainable position, and this works perfect.
Now THIS is SO comfortable, wow. Thank you so much, very helpful. Finally I can meditate well.
Sure! What are you working on aside from meditation?
@@GotROM It's great that you're trying to answer everybody but also I feel kinda sad that few answer back...
@@koen9940 It's fine. As long as everyone gets the help they need
Thank you for this!! The first position guidance that made everything feel so natural
Great! What else are you working on?
This is great!
Thank you so much, and stay blessed!🙌🏻
You're welcome Gamini! What else are you working on?
I’m glad I slogged through the left ear favouritism this was pure gold. 2 and a half years of meditating and I just unlocked a new level of sitting, and I never even realised I wasn’t even comfortable before.
Great video. Concise, logical and useful! Blessed!
Thanks Christopher!
What a game changer! I had no idea my legs could bend like that and it's so comfortable!!! Thank you so much!
Of course! Is there anything else I can help you with?
@@GotROMI came back to refresh/watch again & found this kind reply. I'm very new at this and my journey has been fruitful. You explained everything so well, I have no questions. I'm blown away by how much more comfortable I am! With gratitude, I'll share this video whenever I can.
@@MrWyvyrn Thank you! Don't hesitate to reach out and write to us at Support@gotrom.com if you need anything else!
I was looking for something like this, thank you!
Welcome!
Thank you so much for sharing this.... So helpful
Very welcome!
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge! It works for me!!!
@@GotROM Tips and tricks on 'grooming' meditation as a daily practice. Plus some info on breathing, perhaps. Blessed.
Gotcha!
Loved this video. Thank you for this valuable information :)
Anytime! Is there anything else you're working on?
Thank you so much dude!! I was always struggling with finding the right position to meditate, because I often got back or leg ache. Now I can sit in a relaxed position!🙏
Yay! Keep practicing!
Dear Mr Ching thanks a ton for putting together this video, it is so simply and beautifully explains something one has been struggling with for a while now. Cheers.
Of course! Is there anything else you want to see from my videos?
The tip of turning our soul upwards is a very good one. I had been doing burmese position for 2 months now but never catched this small tip myself, thank you for showing me this.
You're welcome Rajan! Glad to know that this resonated with you.
Thank you for this video!
Yehuda HaMaccabi You're welcome! 😄
Thank you so much! That was super helpful!
Absolutely! Anything else I can help you with?
The best meditation posture video I’ve ever seen. My knees are weak and my hips are tight this helped a lot !!!
Great! Anything else you're working on right now?
I am in high school .. this way of finding a better posture for myself was never told . Really helpful 🤗
Thank you! Do you practice often?
Love this. Thank you 🙏🧘🏻♀️✨
Thanks Kay! You practice often?
@@GotROM Hi Shane, I started meditating in 2017 and try to do it daily. I went to a Vipassana retreat once and it would have been great if I had seen this then but everything happens at divine time, right? 😊
Thank you so much. You’re truly a meditation master!
🙏 thanks! Anything else I can help you with?
Finally I got motivated to research the best meditation position and found it here! thx ;)
This is really essential, thx for sharing!
Happy to help! How long have you been practicing?
@@GotROM From time to time, about 100x unregulary, but I want to do it now at least 2x a day, bonus 3x a day. And you? What are your best benefits from practicing?
very helpful, thanks for sharing:)
Anytime! Let me know if there's anything else. Cheers!
Oh thank you very much for explaining! Had a lot of trouble finding the right position, this works! Namaste brother🙏
Great to know this helped you out. Let me know if you need anything else!
Thanks mate. I saw about 4 other videos that explained the Burmese very poorly, your video should be going to the top
Glad it helped! Thank you for the kind feedback.
Honestly I just started watching your channel and it’s amazing! Keep up the great work! -ryan ❤️🤩
Thank you Ryan! What are you working on?
Got ROM I’m trying to work on sitting while doing meditation! I’m 14 years old so it’s really hard with my flexibility! I’m trying to get the right position
Really nice, well-done video, thank you. We all need reminding, too...
Glad you liked the video. Is there anything else you want to see from this Channel?
Great presentation! Thanks for the info 👍
Of course @DirtRake! What other topics do you think might be helpful for you?
I'm always interested to hear where individuals are putting their focus during meditation- whether it be on their breathing, body sensation, point of vision, a koan, or nothing at all.
I typically start a meditation session with focus completely on the ambient sound around me. It's the quickest way I've found to halt the internal dialogue or daydreaming we're so fond of. This eventually flows into that beautiful sense of calm and presence, but not always! Haha, anyway thanks for replying and I hope you enjoy your day!
This is the video that I have been looking for.Thank you very much!!
Yay! Are you practicing meditation?
This is the only helpful video on meditation i've ever found!
Thank you! Anything else you want to see from my channel?
This was so so helpful. Thank you so much!
You're so welcome! How's your practice going? :-)
This has really been a blessing to me thank you
You're always welcome! Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.
I started meditation few days ago and I don't have any idea about proper posture so this really helps! thank you so much Sir!
You're welcome Loryn! Is there anything else you're working on?
@@GotROM as of now I focuses on meditating I'm really into the urge of finding inner peace, I'll visit your channel more often Sir as I see you have a lot of exercise contents! ❣️
Dude this completely changed meditation for me,it was pleasurable for once
Thank you it helped a lot
Great to know. Glad it helped you. Anything else you're working on?
im dude perfect
Thank you for posting this video 👍
Sure! Anything else you want to see?
I dont even know how to thank you, holy moly this really helped i still seem to be getting some hip tensions here and there trying to support my body but WOW IS THIS GOOD. Good video
Great to know! Is there anything else you are working on?
@@GotROM not much i suppose, wish i could workout more and maybe find a better cushion to support my ass lol
Great video! I'll be recommending this video to those just beginning meditation. Meditation retreats should play this video before taking a seat.
@CoreyKerrigan21, thank you! Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.
Excellent!!!
Finally, I could find why Burmese posture is better than Sukhasana posture for meditation.
In the other hand, the step by step explanation is great.
Good to know Rogelio! Glad to know it has helped you also.
Thank you! I can finally sit in my morning meditation without being in constant pain (twas' very distracting)! :)
Definitely! Great to know that this helped you. Anything else you're working on?
Thanks so much for this. I've always had issues with finding the perfect position and it's one of the reasons I don't meditate as often as I'd like
Great to know this helped you, Daniel! Is there anything else you're practicing?
Thank you so much! I started to get knee pain from meditating. Hope this position is a game changer. 🙏🏼
You're welcome! Let me know how this pans out for you. Cheers!
Thanks!
Going to try this.
Of course Trippy! Anytime!
Thank you, this has been helpful :)
Of course! What other contents do you think might be helpful for you?
Very useful. Thanks so much.
Just tried it. Works like a bomb!
BruceJ Very welcome! Happy sitting! 🙏
Very useful information - especially about sustainable positions!
Thank you! How often do you meditate?
@@GotROM Daily. I've been meditating 27 years, since my eldest was 6 months old, so it is easy to remember the timing :) I just released a video on Sitting Positions as well - check it out :)
Great! Will do!
I don't know how long I have been doing yoga, and sitting cross-legged is always a challenge. I find it strains my thighs for some reason. I can't wait to try this. I have never had it explained quite so well. Thank you so much!
That's awesome Cathy! Let me know how this helped you out Cathy.
Grest video as always man!! I also ended up with the burmese position, on a bolster. It's the most sustainable asset, expecially if you go to a vipassana retreat...Anyway, thanks for your videos. They are always a source of inspiration for me.
Thanks, man. :-) Bolster is good stuff. You may notice a subtle difference with the cushion in this video due to the shape. You can get your feet a little more underneath yourself vs. a bolster.
Wow!!! I needed this. Thanks man
Absolutely! Is there anything else I can help you with?
I had to log in just to thank you. I've been meditating for years and always thought keeping my back straight took so much effort that I always used some sort of back support. This is so comfortable. Thank you!
You're welcome! :-)
People are seen meditating with fancy postures which mostly are not possible in reality for longer, or even meditating for 10 minutes with those postures will be impossible. You have explained and demonstrated very well and I hope this meditation posture will help me to sit longer comfortably. Thank you.
Swadesh Datta, 🙏. Glad it helped!
Thank you! This is a game changer.
For sure! Do you practice often?
I love this video thank you so much
Indeed! Good to know. What else are you working on?
Be glad you got going as soon as you heard about it. Your doing great by virtue of that. I ultimately procrastinated it for a decade, b/c I do have tight hips, and thought any cross-leggedness wouldn't work.vand chairs just aren't working for me with neutral spine. Just had some poor attempts at starting here and there. Never really knew about this one, which I kind of discovered after some trial and error this year.
Thank you so much !!! you made me happy !
Yay!
Nice clear tips, thankyou.
Anytime @3ggg334! Is there anything else I can help you with?
Very helpful, thank you
Anytime! Anything else I can help you with?
Great explanation, thanks for the info, friend.
Always welcome! Do you meditate often?
@@GotROM I have been dabbling for a while, but have recently decided to get more serious about a regular sitting practice. Have had some logistical issues with posture (legs falling asleep, and back discomfort), but I want to work through that so that I can do at least 20 mins. daily and hopefully work up to 40. Really appreciate your clear instructions, blessings to you.
I have some videos about desk posture and how that can be reversed. Check that out and let me know how that goes.
Wow! Working up to 40 minutes? That's awesome! Mindful practice always works best.
You're always welcome! Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.
lifesaver ! soles turned up and tucked in close is exactly what i needed. Thanks so much for this
Anytime! Do you practice often?
Wow, everything is explained very precisely, just the explanation i was looking for. Thank you so much 🙏 sending you “cool” energy just like the song at the end of the video which of course i used shazam to get the title. Thank you one more time 😄
Hello @fenixin88, of course! Is there anything else I can help you with?
Thanks a lot for this video. Practical, easy logical steps and comfortable.
Anytime! Is there anything else you're practicing for that you need help with?
@@GotROM Just started with Surya namaskar and regular sessions of meditation.
This is awesome! Wish I found this video a lot sooner
How's it going with your sitting practice?
Thank you so so much, I always thought that I couldn't meditate for longer hours without having to master Padmasana (🧘♂️ Lotus) but with your technique, I'm able to sit for an hour without having discomfort. ♥ 💕 Subscribed to you sir
You're welcome! Glad that it helped! :-) Thanks for subscribing!
Thank you for the video
Of course! Anything else you want to see?
It was really helpful thank you so much
Absolutely! Anything else I can help you with?
My back and knees love this. Thank you
Anytime. Is there anything else you want to see from my videos?
That position makes so much sense. Thank you, I tried sitting without any type of elevated support...now O know that knees have to lower that hips.
Emeres, you're welcome! Glad to know it has helped you. ☺️
@@GotROM my left leg still hurts in this position but I guess I have to start stretching it more.
Easily made my sessions way better. THANK YOU !!
Anytime! Is there anything else I can help you with?
@@GotROM how long do you recommend i meditate for on a daily basis?
Excellent. Thank you a lot
Absolutely! Anything else you're working on?
Woah. Thanks for this. Watching the video I thought "yeah, ain't no way I'm flexible enough to do this." Then I tried and was surprised to see how simply I could adjust my legs/feet like that. Thanks!
You're welcome! :-)
love this!! thankyou!!
Anytime! Anything else you want to see?
Very helpful, thanks
Anytime! Anything else you are working on?
thankyou this very helpful it's annoying how few people talk about the structure in literal terms when it comes to meditating
Glad to know it helped you. Anything else you're working on?
Dude... Thank you so much!
Absolutely! Do you practice often?
Excellent video! Finally learned how to sit comfortably for meditation. Wow.
Great! What other topics do you want to see?
@@GotROM Maybe how to build up gradually to holding full lotus for a while.
@@davidcsuka5670 great idea! Will look into that, most definitely. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your explanation 👍👍
You are welcome! How long have you been practicing?
@@GotROM Almost six months and my posture is improving though my hips are not very flexible. 😊🙂
Thank you! I learn.🙏🙏🙏
You're Welcome! Anything else I can help you with?
Thank you so much 😊 😊 😊 good explanation 😊
You're welcome! You practice often?
@@GotROM no because of not knowing how to sit😂 but from now I'm going to practice twice a day 😊
By the way first attempt after watching this video was super👍👍👍
@@justice9503 great to know. Glad to be of help.
Thanks a lot! So well explained
Of course! What other topics or videos do you want to see?
@@GotROM What videos/program/exercises would you recommend if I wanna be able to comfortably meditate in a 10day vipassana reatreat? I guess to strengthen my back and open my hips? Also my ankles hurt a little when I sit in half lotus. I actually bought your Desk Posture program, is it a good choice? Thanks!
Mostly you need flexible hips and good upper body posture. Good strength is not required if your 1.) technique is good 2.) hip mobility is good 3.) upper body posture is good. I'd recommend more well-rounded hip mobility (like in my 45-day "Deep Squats" program) to compliment the upper body posture work from the Desk Posture Therapy program.
Enjoy your course!
Cheers!
-Shane
Thank you very much for you video.
Of course! Anything else you're working on?
My god, point 2 (knees below hips) changed my meditation session radically, I can now be relaxed and rest.. thank you so much, that was exactly what I was doing wrong. Thank you
Great to know it helped you! Anything else I can help you with?
Got ROM
Yes, I want to ask you something else if you would want to answer:
If we have to let things go and don’t judge things, if we have to let go of the concept of good or bad, better or worst, if we have to stop this separation of mind, how can we know how to choose and act in this existence, how can we know how to live, what should guide us through life?
Ty
@@CapitanTavish Interesting question. Hmmm... intuition. ;-)
Got ROM
Intuition is simply the unconscious judgment of the mind, it is more true than thinking yes, but still based on separation of good/bad, right or wrong
@@CapitanTavish I think we can let go of the concept of good or bad, and still live a purposeful life. The key is in the word "purposeful". Yes, you have to know your purpose. Robert Greene called this as "Life's Task" in his book Mastery, it's something that you strive to do in life, the skill(s) that you want and will hone to the level of mastery.
Firstly, all of us should know what our Life's Task is. To know this, honest self-examination is necessary. We could revisit our childhood, and remember what things excited us the most, what filled us with wonder, curiosity, and energy? What seemed so magical to us that it took our attention, hypnotized us, that hours could passed by without us noticing? Another thing that we can do is to ask this question: If I don't have to work for another day in my life, what would I do?
We should do things that will help us achieve our Life's Task. For example, if someone's Life's Task is to compose musical masterpieces, they will take appropriate steps that lead them closer to their goal. Their actions, attention, time, and energy will be dominated more by the things that they need to do to get closer to their ultimate goal. We would surround ourselves with similar minded people.
There is more to be said about morality, but this is enough for now.
Thank You So Much Sir
Of course! Is there anything else you want to see from my Channel? Let me know!
Thanks. I already feel more comfortable!
Great! Anything else you want to see?
Only started meditating the last few months and had dreadful pain in the upper back muscles. I've basically been doing everything wrong. Lol! Your video has cleared it up completely, Much appreciated!
Does hurt the upper back muscles if not done right. Glad to know it helped you. Anything else you're working on?
@@GotROM Not at the moment. Just trying to get that meditation pose down.
@@daverage4729 awesome! Let me know how things go.
Thank u sir blessed me
YW. Glad to know this helped you.
iv always had trouble sitting in this position, this was the first time in 15 years that iv been able to sit like this, thank you. the tip about our soles looking up, is key.
Great to know! Thank you! Is there anything else you want to see from my Channel?
@@GotROM You have it all, THANK YOU, I have an obsession with what the body can truly do, and your videos always knock the air out of my lungs, with regards to how strong and flexible we really are.
@@zorokazi thank you so much!
Could you link the cushion you’re sitting on? Is there any kind of cushion/support you’d recommend to sit on? I tend to have back (lower, mid, upper) pain and hip/sciatic pain and find many postures uncomfortable.

As a beginner, it would be things to avoid or prevent that are most common mistakes when starting the journey of meditation.
Your response will be highly appreciated.
@@johannesmokami5760 that's a good topic. What are your major distractions?
@@GotROM
saliva and body movement at the moment. I'd like to know how do I reduce them, and how long should I meditate?
Thank you soo much for this
I couldn't meditate for 1 hr because my knee would hurt 😭
I tried this and it felt comfortable.
Hopefully I can meditate for one hour now with this posture.

Superb advice. I must get that cushion, I reckon it'll well worth the price
Yes, it's quite good. I have two!
Got ROM what’s the name of the cushion so I can buy one
