Thanks :-)
Regarding posture, I used to struggle with the lotus position many years ago, then gave up! In Taoist meditations they actually promote sitting on a chair as being better for the base chakra as it doesn't touch the ground. This made me think about postures in terms of climate - cold damp places, like much of China or Europe, do not promote lotus sitting. Just some thoughts for others who find the pain can be a hindrance to meditating.
I have some knee issues and have used a chair often. When i felt uncomfortable in a chair I would sit on a large pillow with my legs parallel. I dont think ill ever be able to do full lotus. I had not heard of that about sitting in a chair. Thanks for that knowledge. Always learning something new. Always appreciate you stopping by @rycharde
Look at an image like this:
better than me trying to explain it.
There are some Dzogchen meditations I learnt that require props like a belt and crutch etc. All of it to gain stability while stimulating certain chakras.
