Do stretches before meditation to increase your flexibility and you can set in lotus position for longer

[@GotROM]

Great to know it helped you! Anything else I can help you with?

[@CapitanTavish]

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

[@GotROM]

@@CapitanTavish Interesting question. Hmmm... intuition. ;-)

[@CapitanTavish]

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

[@abednegomosessuryanda2950]

@@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.

[@averyangrygardengnome]

I tried this method and it worked very well! Usually I'd meditate for 15 - 20min before my posture becomes too unbearable. But with this method I reached a 30min milestone!

[@swadeshdatta9221]

Hi Nichlas: There is also something called a gomden, which is a little more forgiving for people with hip flexibility issues. Or a chair works too! (As I say in the video I released on sitting positions, it is important that you sit, not exactly how you sit!) . Make it comfortable.

If you raise your hips higher it may be easier. Everyone's hips are different so you gotta' find the right angle for you. Try laying on your back, bringing your heel towards your groin, and then seeing what angle your thigh makes with your torso to find a comfortable angle for your body.
