Thanks Brett and Anthony. Question? Are you placing a safu on the chair when you sit? Has it changed how long you can sit without cramping? Thanks again. :) Kristy

I have done both sitting and in my chair, I have found that either way is good, but I guess it depends on the person.

For those with less flexability, or have arthritis, back /joint pain, and the rest. I am wondering if using a safu on the chair is necessary to achieve the proper zazen state, and how it affects the duration of time and frequency of the sitting practice. I suppose I'm asking about the quality of the zazen experience for them There has always so much insistence on posture. Any thoughts? Thanks, Kristy
