Zen Tip #3 - Posture: The Body
On the zafu, it literally means let the belly hang, which helps pitch the spine into its natural curve.
Keep you chest out, head up and chin slightly tucked in.
Your ears should be in line with your shoulders, your shoulders should be in line with your hips.
Leave your eyes open, staring but not focusing at a spot on the floor just a few feet ahead.
Form your hands into a mudra, this is done by resting your right palm face up on your lap and your left palm face up inside.
Your thumbs should be create an oval, their tips barely touching.
The final step is to rock from side to side, starting with wide arcs and slowly settling in until you're as unmovable as a mountain.
I am also going to include a picture of mudra, or the position your hands should be in. Again I hope you found this Zen Tip very helpful and I shall see you all again tomorrow.
