14. Padmasana (Lotus posture)

This is the famous meditative posture. The erect spine and the symmetrical posture help in bringing stability to mind.

*Start with Sthiti.

1. Bend the right led in the knee-joint, folding it upon itself, place the foot at the left groin. In the same way, place the left foot at the right groin; both soles are turned upwards. Heels almost meeting in front of the pelvic bones.
2. Sit erect. Hands on the thighs with bent elbows. Meditate for a while and return to Sthiti.
