Of course, serious or extreme pain is not good, and should be avoided. But having no pain at all is not ideal, either, because sitting in meditation with no pain provides no background resistance to work with. This isn’t to say that we should go out of our way to create pain and difficulty for ourselves. But in the experience of pain, we have an opportunity to learn a valuable lesson. Lanza del Vasto noted that pleasure teaches us that it is not what we should seek because it continuously runs from us whenever we chase after it.

32 Sitting on the Earth People commonly want to tuck their feet under their knees when they sit in a cross-legged position on the floor. This is not good; it reduces the stability you need in your meditation posture. It also pulls you into a more slouched position. Remember, unless you’re sitting in a chair, it’s essential that your knees remain on the mat. If you choose to sit cross-legged, you have three options: halflotus posture, full-lotus posture, or Burmese posture. Here’s how to get into the half-lotus posture: With your knees upon the mat, bring either your left or right heel in close to your cushion, leaving your foot directly upon the mat.

Usually this is simply a variation of the strange sensations described above. Without moving, mentally do a quick body scan. Just become aware of your body. Check your hands—not by lowering your head and looking, but just rotate your wrists slightly, or bring your thumbs together. Move your shoulders imperceptibly, just enough to regain awareness of your body. As you regain a sense of your body, adjust your posture as necessary. These should not be taken as a sign of spiritual insight, or of your “third eye” opening.
