A practice in self-reflection and contemplation involving controlled breathing and mental exercises to reach higher levels of awareness, meditation includes certain postures in addition to various traditions, techniques, and practices.

An individual can achieve one such posture, the Buddha Vairochana, by keeping his back straight and shoulders level while crossing his legs and leaning his head forward. Other features of the posture include placing the right hand in the left hand with the palms facing upward. Finally, the tongue should rest against the back of the upper teeth and the eyes should remain partially open. When executed properly, this position should help the yoga practitioner achieve a comfortable, relaxed state.
