🧘♂️ Candle Meditation Setup: Basic Posture (Beginner Level)
🪑 Sit Comfortably with a Straight Spine
Use a cushion or rolled towel under your hips to help maintain an upright, aligned back.
🪑 Keep legs comfortably folded
Legs need not be crossed if it causes discomfort.
🕯️ Align Candle at Eye Level
Position the candle so the flame is directly at your eye level to reduce neck strain and enhance focus.
🧤 Rest Hands on Knees
Keep your palms relaxed on your knees to avoid tension and promote stillness.
🔇 Choose a Quiet, Draft-Free Space
Practice in a room free from wind or movement to keep the flame steady and distractions minimal.
🎨 Use a Plain, Non-Distracting Backdrop
Place the candle against a plain wall or dark background to enhance visibility and reduce visual clutter.

🔥 Candle Meditation Enhancements: Intermediate Practices
🧘♀️ Seated Cross-Legged (Sukhasana or Padmasana)
Sitting in a cross-legged posture grounds the body and stabilizes your center, allowing deeper focus and energy flow during meditation.
🪵 Floor Practice Without Mat or Cushion
Removing the mat or support builds resilience and strength in the back muscles. Only attempt this if your posture remains steady and pain-free throughout.
✋ Hands in Gyan Mudra (Gesture of Wisdom)
This classical mudra enhances mental clarity and concentration by stimulating the root chakra and directing pranic energy toward the brain.
🧍 No Back Support – Active Postural Engagement
Maintaining an upright spine without external support strengthens core muscles and promotes alert stillness.
