A posture should be such that you can forget your body. What is comfort? When you forget your body, you are comfortable. When you are reminded continuously of the body, you are uncomfortable. So whether you sit in a chair or you sit on the ground, that is not the point. Be comfortable, because if you are not comfortable in the body you cannot long for other blessings which belong to deeper layers: the first layer missed, all other layers closed. If you really want to be happy, blissful, then start from the very beginning to be blissful. Comfort of the body is a basic need for anybody who is trying to reach inner ecstasies.
Osho, Meditation the first and last freedom
Ga zo zitten dat je je lichaam kunt vergeten. Wat is makkelijk zitten? Als je niet aan je lichaam denkt zit je makkelijk. Als je voortdurend aan je lichaam herinnerd wordt zit je ongemakkelijk. Het gaat er niet om of je in een stoel of op de grond zit, maar dat je makkelijk zit. Wanneer je lichaam je hindert, kun je geen ervaringen op diepere niveaus verwachten. Als je op het eerste niveau gespannen bent blijven alle andere lagen afgesloten. Als je werkelijk gelukkig en extatisch wilt zijn, begin dan bij het begin. Om innerlijke extase te bereiken is het beslist nodig je lichamelijk ontspannen te voelen.

So do this breathing meditation: sit on a pillow so that your buttocks are a little higher than your knees. Then make your spine straight, erect. Wiggle your body first and feel where it comes to feel perfectly balanced, and there you stop. Start moving in small circles, smaller and smaller and smaller, just to feel the right place, where you should be. When you have come to feel that this is the most erect position for the spine, the most balanced state, and you are in a straight line connected with the centre of the earth, then move your chin up a little so your ears are in a straight line with the shoulder.
Close your eyes and start watching your breathing. First, the inhalation: start feeling it is going in from the nostril. Go down with it to the very bottom. At the bottom there comes a moment when the inhalation is complete: just a small moment, where inhalation has come to a completion and there is a gap. After that gap exhalation starts, but between the inhalation and the exhalation there is a little interval. That interval is of immense value. That is the equilibrium, the pause. Again come up with the exhalation, go up the whole way up. And the same moment comes again at the other extreme. Exhalation is complete and the inhalation has to start. Between the two, again the gap; watch that gap.
For one, two minutes, just watch a few breaths coming, going. You are not to breathe in any way -- just natural breathing. You are not to breathe deeply or anything. You are not to change the breathing at all; you have just to watch. After one, two minutes, when you have watched it coming, going, start counting. Count one -- the inhalation -- and don't count the exhalation just the inhalation has to be counted. Go up to ten and then come back; again from one to ten, again one to ten. Sometimes you may forget to watch the breath; then bring yourself back to watching it again. Sometimes you may forget to count or you may go on counting beyond ten -- eleven, twelve, thirteen; then start again, come back to one.
These two things have to be remembered: watching, and particularly the gaps, the two gaps -- at the top and at the bottom. That experience of the gap is you, that is your innermost core, that is your being. And second: go on counting, but up to not more than ten, and come back again to one, and only count the inhalation.
These things help awareness.
This meditation has to be done for twenty minutes; you can do twenty to thirty minutes once a day, three, four weeks.
But if you enjoy this meditation, continue it; this is of immense value.
