Is there really a correct position to meditate? Or does everyone have like their own position in which they are comfortable in? Because i am extremely comfortable meditating while sitting on a pillow and leaning against my bedroom wall. Lol, i even tried meditating while sitting on a toilet seat and it felt comfortable. So, basically will i still reap the full benefits of meditation even though i have my own positions? And i do not slouch or anything like that. I keep my back straight and my chin kinda tucked in.
It all depends on the sitting rules of a particular technique. Some ashrams, temples are more formal (the classic yoga, sitting postures are required) than others. Few groups will allow you to sit on a chair. I, on the other hand, do not lean against anything when I meditate due to the energy movements. And I prefer being naked when I meditate, right after a nice, warm, relaxing shower. It is always good to meditate with a master, for many reasons.
