Now we come to the sitting posture. If you want to continue your practice with this universal

energy, you want to go to higher level to practice. Sitting posture is important. It can

assist you to go deeper into your meditation and go deeper into the emptiness. From there,

you can experience all the movements of this universal energy and help you to open up

more channels faster and do the healing for yourself quicker too.

Now the first sitting posture I want to show you is Lotus sitting. Lotus sitting is three

nostrils. The first one is called free style. You can practice like that and train yourself

from the beginning and gradually you go up to higher level. Now here I'm going to demonstrate

that. Now put one leg behind the thigh of the other leg and put the other one like this

and straight up the spine and open your hands like this or whatever posture you want

to hold. That's fine. So this is like the first part of the sitting and before you go to

Lotus, four Lotus sitting. So when you get used to this part, the next part is semi-photos

sitting. One leg is up to the end of the other thigh and put the other one under the other

thigh and sit down, straight up the back. Put the chin back a little, wear a smile on

your face of course and relax the shoulders. So this is like the, this one is better than

the free style sitting and this one is more stable than the free style one. But it is not

the best one because when you go deeper into your meditation, your body still will lean

from side to side. It's easy to unfold your legs. So gradually you have to come to four

Lotus sitting. Put the other leg also up on the thigh. So this is called five energy

centers facing up to the heaven, one at the top, one at the hand, one at another hand.

So the bottom of the feet, so four, five energy centers facing up and straight up the body.

When you sit like that and slightly lean over to have the tailbone go out like that so

that the tailbone, the lower torso, the chest, the back, the spine, in a line, like this.

About the hands, you can open your hands up like that or put the hands like this or put

the hands like this. Whatever posture you feel comfortable to do, you just do it. But

this, if you sit in this way, the body is very stable and one of the other amazing thing

of doing four Lotus sitting is if you can sit like this for one hour, up to two hours,

all the flexibility of the body comes back. Especially the superior bone right over here

and in the very lower back, that part opens. Once that part opens, the flexibility of

the body comes back. And that means the channels open up faster. So just by doing the four

Lotus sitting, possibly you can put your legs like what you do in a yoga on the shoulder

and open up all the joints and that's possible. So that is Lotus, four Lotus sitting.

Now how to do this one? Well, for some people, it's very difficult to even sit down with

the one leg up on the other thigh. So some exercises can help you to lose up the joints.

You can practice several minutes, bed by bed. Today you can do two minutes sitting like

this and tomorrow you can do more. Maybe very possibly at the very beginning when you

sit like this, the pain, very intense in the joints and because of the tendons and all

your hamstrings, not open yet. But just stay where you are. For those people who have

a knee surgery or injury in the knees, in the legs, you might consult your doctor first

before you practice this one. But for those people who have no problems, you might try this.

So now I'm going to show you the exercise, how to lose up those joints. The first one is

your shoulder feet about your shoulder width and put one hand on your waist and put both

your hands on your waist and move your torso like this. Clockwise, nine times. Okay,

lose up the joints. So up to nine times, you do it counterclockwise, nine times the other

way. Okay, so up to you move this nine times, then you put your leg together and move the

same way. Clockwise nine times like this. Okay, so and then another way, nine times counterclockwise.

So that will help to lose up the spine and the joints. So up to you get down with this

one, then put your feet with your hands covered in knee, move the knee inward like this, nine

times. After that, you move your knees open nine times. Okay, and then you put your feet

together and move it clockwise nine times. Another way, nine times. Okay, so then you move

the angles, lose up the joints in the angles. After that, you may link against the wall,

you know one hand, put on the wall, the other hand move the leg up, see, and push it up,

even upper, and move the joint back, see, push it back like this. Like what you do in the

yoga exercise, move it back so that helps to lose up the muscle and the hamstring over

here, and then put it down and do the other one, see. And you're back and move back, you

know, to something like this. So those are the exercises you can lose up and some more

you can do it like this, move forward, see, move forward. That will help to lose up to,

do one leg too, see, you can do it like this too, see.

Oh, the other one, like that. That will help to lose up those joints on the hamstring

gradually, you can try this one, you're going this one, and going this one, push it to

very little and more, you know. So...
