Why is an upright sitting posture important in meditation anyway?

Meditation practices and techniques exist in a wide variety of traditions, and many have been handed down from very ancient times. The upright sitting posture, i.e. a sitting position with the spine erect, is a feature that runs like a thread through the history of meditation. With the exception of special forms of meditation such as walking meditation or dynamic meditations in movement, most meditations have this basic posture in common as their preferred position

Many yogis explain this with energetic aspects (more precisely with the fact that energies are moved through the nadis and through the chakras), others justify the favoured position more with physiological advantages. Most meditators can quickly confirm from their own experience that an upright sitting posture is also most conducive to inner peace and concentration, whereas, for example, it is difficult to turn one's gaze inwards in a standing posture and it is all too easy to fall asleep in a lying position.

Because most people today have developed problematic posture patterns (for example, through lack of exercise and especially through daily screen work, which often involves a forward-leaning posture), however, many find it difficult to sit upright for any length of time. What is initially strenuous is made easier by a meditation cushion. Meditation cushions support the upright sitting posture, which has been proven time and again to be the most favourable position for meditators.

By the way, such a position is also highly recommended for pranayama exercises. Likewise, it is naturally suitable for mantra chanting, because in a curved sitting posture, the breath cannot flow freely, while a seat with an erect spine, which only has its natural lordosis but is otherwise not rounded, promotes full-bodied chanting.
