Hello. I may have been a member here before, but I can't remember. I just started practicing Zazen again. I practiced everyday for about 3 years and then off and on for the last two. I'm still not sure exactly what I'm doing. I realize that posture is very important and I had a question about that. In Zen Mind, Beginners Mind it says that you should push the head up and the abdomen down as if one were supporting the sky, but when I do this it feels all wrong. I guess what my question is in Zazen is it right to hold onself in a certain posture?
