Rest the right foot on the left thigh, near the hip joint, and the left foot on the right thigh, near the hip joint as well. Clench the jaws. Press tongue against the roof of your mouth.
This is thought to be the best posture for meditation. The loop seals the prana, vital energy of the body, enabling you to reach a more profound level of consciousness.
