Meditation posture

[JJfromSwitzerland]

Hi what's up.

I've been meditating now for more than 1 month daily for 30 minutes. First I did guided, now alone. I have to say, I already experience benefits in my daily life.

My question:

How important is the posture? As I work in a office and sit most time of the day, the meditation postures are so uncomfortable to me that I am not able to really meditate. I try to train my posture to get used to it, but how important is it really?

I sit most of the day but I make sports (workout in the parc currently cause gyms are closed and skateboarding for cardio cause it's fun for me) about 4 times a week and I walk a lot when I do daygame.

Posture is only important so that you don't fall asleep during the practice. The spine has to be erect, otherwise you will feel drowsiness. The rest are unnecessary details that don't matter much.

I prefer walking meditation in nature. It's a lot easier and healthier in my experience. Fresh air, sunlight/moonlight, beautiful natural scenery, warm body, flowing energy, and clearer mind. It's a refreshing sport for the body and mind. Awareness tend to naturally grow whilst walking, so it adds more effectiveness to the practice.

Alright, good to know, thanks

It's not that important, but it's nice to have the flexilibility to do any of the postures. It can get quite comfy.
