>> techincally meditation is a mental activity, so how your body is positioned shouldn't be too important

Certain postures are much more condusive to developing concentration than others. If the aim of your meditation is to achieve of a kind of dazed, relaxed state, then I suppose a La-Z-Boy or a bed might be a good place for that practise. If the aim of meditation is to develop one's inner qualities, or to deepen one's connection with reality, it is helpful to have a posture that contributes to an alert mind. The full lotus position is, in my opinion, the best posture for this aim.

Once you have experience with meditation you'll find that even small things like the placement of the hands can have a tremendous impact on the quality of your meditative state.

really all you have to do is breathe consciously, in and out, deep at first to get a feel for it then just let your breathe guide you while you stay in it.

if you do this for 30 minutes a day, you might get bored, but you're disciplining your mind.

the breath (and the heartbeat) is a middleman between the conscious and unconscious, you can use the breath to ride into and out of any altered state conceivable to man.

if you just practice conscious breathing, while trying to let go of distractions and paying attention to your body, and whatnot.....

you will sooner or later find a clear mind state, or feel "high", etc, etc.

"You need not do anything. Remain sitting at your table and wait. You need not even wait. Just listen. You need not even listen. Just learn to become quiet and still and solitary. And the world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice. It will roll in ectasy at your feet."

It's both focus and defocus. To become single-minded, and then to use dhyana, or the defocussing of mind outward from that single-pointedness, while remaining calm, is just about the greatest feeling of unity.

The process of meditation lends itself to the facilitation of greater refinement of one's perceptual awareness interfacing, awareness of the aspect of one's innate metaphysicality and a greater degree of connectivity & receptivity to one's higher density energetic essence.

It allows for the recognizance of the machinations which are the foundation for one's beingness and comprehension of the capacities and functionalities which blueprint one's existential networking grid; to dismantle the preconceived notions of what attributes define one's nature and the manner in which one's consciousness interfaces with the existential nexus one is embedded in and provide leeway into less distorted vistas of awareness of one's environmental experience emerges once entheofocus & theoawareness achieve activation as primary paradigmatic programming components in one's baseline perception as an experiential node along one's personal evolutionary trajectory through existence.

Meditation is the key shuttle to states of being informed by intimate knowledge of the composition of the interconnecting facets of one's consciousness.

I'd also like to share an older writing of mine that I intuit might be benefactorial to your entheonautical/psychonautical pilgrimage:



One of the most important and powerful faculties inherent in the consciousness of Man is that of attention, which gains its empowering fuel and attains streamlining of focus from the disciplined configuration of intention.

By the proper attuning of one's volition via the milestone discovery and subsequent incessant assurance that the primary guiding motivations responsible for the informed commandeering and navigation of one's perceptual awareness through the sea of consciousness remains in proper alignment and accordance with one's moral values, centralizing belief system, core psychological distortions and the predominate governing philosophical infrastructure comprised of and stemming from the collective interconnected accumulated amalgamation of all factors working in tandem and the resultant overall coordination thereof, one can then rest in the certainty that what will emerge from then on from the existential continuum which the perceptual awareness is interfaced within will be manifestations imbued with supreme significance, where, just beneath the surface of mundane circumstances lay messages of extreme spiritual guidance, where at the heart of every single scenario playing out in absolutely any environment one passes through the purest degree of holy communion and providence shines through, with even the most seemingly trivial of experiences being transformed into that of divine profundity.

When one effectuates the refinement of the very meaning that one projects upon every nuance perceived and brings the manner of the application of definitions to a state which recognizes a sense of innate spiritual purity structuring the conceptual emergence of each situation, the notion that all factors present in every experiential read-out encompasses, to various levels of intensity in both meaning and urgency of attention and direction, direct messages being relayed to the conscious aspect of being from the control panel of One's subconscionsness, from the omnidimensional metaphysical source module to the physical bio-vehicle utilized by the consciousness, to the human arena of existence in all aspects of its multifaceted infrastructure from the divine domain.

Optimal stabilization between each of the various ornamental persona grid factors (emotion, belief, perspective, sensory input, memory, perceptual processing, essentially one's entire psychological make-up and overall existential database composing one's intertwining sense of reality and beingness and their means and modes of relating) responsible for one's existential network programming is summarily propelled to anchorage points jettisoned to and by quickening points of enthroned accession.

Once it is conceptually relayed to the deepest levels of one's psychospiritual disposition and perceptual filtering with an overarching emotional comprehension of fierce conviction, and it is understood not only from the intellectual standpoint of mind but, more importantly, is ardently conceptually processed emotionally, that your sphere of awareness, one's field of consciousness, the seamless interplay between the senses, the sensory input, the external convening of outwards perceptual mobility via the implementation of the material bio-vehicle, the vast inner sensorium assembled by the seemingly limitless range of invisible forces forged, synthesized and rearranged within the mind chamber with roots which extend deep down into a basically bottomless well of being, the infinite rabbit hole of one's underlying essence, translates to boundless profundity, a new lens with which to perceive "the world" arises; though simple it may appear to be, your moment-to-moment sightful perception, which oftentimes gets taken for granted, the systematic waltz between the characteristics which you attribute to your definition of "you" and the stage of "life" playing out in your visual field as the physically-based senses of touch, taste, smell, and hearing as well as the extra psychically-oriented modalities sublimely bleedthrough and are pooled into the permeating, overarching category of sight which acts as the predominate determining mainstay of the nexus of reality which the fulcrum of incarnated being is formulated of and within is nothing less than the extension and manifestation of a transcendental agency.

In essence, your very process of observation of reality is direct evidence of a divine process, mapping out Its evolutionary blueprint over an infinite multitude of experiential nodes, branching out in a vast imperial exploration of as of yet unmanifest frontiers becoming familiar territories, furthering Its psychical and metaontological dominion over all emergent bioscapes and potential beings.

I hav been meditaitng for 2-3 years now and it is a really good tool. It hasn't made me a different person but be patient. It took about 20-50 minutes for 2 months at least to get anywhere. Patience and maybe get a good teacher. Use guided meditations and really give it your fullest

Don't do it high. Don't be hungover. Come to your meditation mat in the freshest possible mindstate for 30-60 minutes daily and be patient and consistent
