Postures for achieving ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) padmasana?

[Vingger]

Apparently one of the posture is this Baddha Konasana

Do you have other yoga posture that I can use to achieve lotus ?

 

[Leo Gura]

I wouldn't worry about full lotus posture. It's unnecessary and actually seems unhealthy for the knees.

Just place one heel at your perennium and the other leg folded in nearby but still on the floor.

@Leo Gura Like this?

another, 

the crossed legs posture is even useful for meditation?

i often feels that it isn't helpful when is related to "energies" liberation or whatever

 

[Leo Gura]

@Vingger Like that girl in black, but with the top leg laying on the floor.

I am suggesting a more relaxed and easy pose. Anyone can do it. You don't need to lift your leg up anywhere fancy.

That guy in the picture is not in a good pose. His legs are too high and his heel isn't touching his taint. The legs should be more touching the floor, holding more of your weight. Knees lower to the ground. Use a firm cushion to raise your butt and lower your knees.

@Leo Gura Leo you've got some serious flexibility! Or i've just got really really bad flexibility haha. After watching your recent Blog video I gave the posture a go but couldn't get anywhere near it. My legs are not flexible enough, so they end up being raised up off the ground quite a lot.

Would using a meditation bench (and kneeling posture) work as well for the kriya yoga exercises?

 

[Timotheus]

I've been stretching for 16 months now to get into full lotus posture. I can now hold it for 2-3 minutes until it gets too painful, before I couldn't even get into it at all.. I can tell you that this seat is perfect, perfectly stable back and spine, there is no more effort involved in maintaining an erect spine or anything. I don't know how long it will take, until I can use it for a meditation session, could probably take another year of stretching.

I find those benches painful after 30 mins, even with padding.

They are surprisingly uncomfortable.

It is all about bone stacking. Especially for kryia yoga a strait spine is important. Rotating your hips forward will help you to get your lower back strait. You can archive it by barely sitting on the edge of a cussion or pulling your butcheack's out. This gives you a nice foundation. For getting the whole spine strait you visualize a rope pulling you up on the top of your head and then let yourself fall strait down. If the posture is right your spine should feel like a stick. If you have a partner he can press strait down on top of your head and there should be no movement if you are really strait. For not enough flexibility it is recommended to put pillows under your knees. If you have done everything right you should be able to let go of every tension in your body and then it just becomes an balancing act. 

To get a feeling for the point in the perineum area, the easy pose or, in that post before, the burmese posture is good. Put with one heel pressure into the perineum area and put the other leg upfront. This is not necessary but can help you a lot a to get a feel for this area. Wich is necessary for some techniques to tense a particular point.
