Sitthing Meditation

-To prepare for sitting meditation, let the body and the mind relax as much as possible. Meditation the body in a well-balanced posture. Do not change the posture abruptly or unmindful during the sitting. If you are about to move, note the intention to move before actually moving.
- To give balance to the practice, every sitting should be preceded by an hour of walking meditation.
- In the changeover from walking to sitting practice, or vice versa, be careful to keep your mindfulness and concentration continuous.
- The starting point in the sitting practice is to establish the attention on the sensations of the abdomen cased by the rise and fall movement. This done by synchronizing the mental noting or labelling of the movement with the actual experience of those sensations.
- As the movement of the abdomen becomes steady and clear, increase the number of nothings. If the movements are complicated, mote them in a general way.
- If there is a gap between the rising and falling movement of the abdomen, insert the noting of sitting and or touching( noting sitting is awareness of the characteristic of support of the wind element.)
