BASIC DHAMMAKAYA MEDITATION by Luang Por Dhammajayo tart by adjusting your sitting position. If you sit on the Star floor, sit cross-legged, right leg over the left leg, right hand over the left hand, palms up, your right index finger gently touching your left thumb. Place both hands on your lap comfortably, your head and back erect. If you feel uncomfortable in this position, you may sit on a chair or sofa. Adjust your position until you feel completely comfortable, so that the blood will circulate freely, and you breathe naturally. Gently close your eyes, comfortably, as if you were going to sleep. Do not squeeze your eyelids, do not force them shut. Close them slightly. Do not close them tightly. Sit with a smile on your face. Next, take a deep breath. Inhale and exhale a few times. Breathe in deeply until you feel the air pass through your lungs and reach the middle of your abdomen, and slowly breathe out, through your nostrils. When you breathe in, imagine that each cell in your body is fully taking in the feeling of happiness and joyfulness, and when you breathe out, breathe out all your worries, and negative feelings. Take a moment to let go of all responsibilities that relate to work, loved ones, family, studies, or anything else.
