🧘‍♂️ Candle Meditation Setup: Basic Posture (Beginner Level)

  1. 🪑 Sit Comfortably with a Straight Spine

    Use a cushion or rolled towel under your hips to help maintain an upright, aligned back.

  2. 🪑 Keep legs comfortably folded

    Legs need not be crossed if it causes discomfort.

  3. 🕯️ Align Candle at Eye Level

    Position the candle so the flame is directly at your eye level to reduce neck strain and enhance focus.

  4. 🧤 Rest Hands on Knees

    Keep your palms relaxed on your knees to avoid tension and promote stillness.

  5. 🔇 Choose a Quiet, Draft-Free Space

    Practice in a room free from wind or movement to keep the flame steady and distractions minimal.

  6. 🎨 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

  1. 🧘‍♀️ 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.

  2. 🪵 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 🧍 No Back Support – Active Postural Engagement

    Maintaining an upright spine without external support strengthens core muscles and promotes alert stillness.
