How to Use a BackJack Chair for Meditation Practice

Using the BackJack Chair for Meditation: A Guide

The BackJack chair, designed specifically for meditation, offers a unique and comfortable seating option. Here's a guide on how to use it effectively for your meditation practice:

Understanding the BackJack Chair

• Ergonomic design: The BackJack chair is designed to support your spine and posture, promoting comfort and relaxation during extended meditation sessions.
• Floor Sitting: The advantage of the BackJack chair is that it provides back support and seat cushioning while sitting on the floor. This allows you to sit in a cross-legged posture or to extend your legs straight out in front of you.

Getting Started

1. Find a suitable location: Choose a quiet space where you won't be disturbed. Ensure the chair is placed on a stable surface.
2. Position the chair: The BackJack chair has a fixed angle but it can be placed in two positions. The longer back support can be set upright like a traditional chair. Or the “L” shape can be placed downward to create a lower angled support for a somewhat laid back posture.
3. Position your body: Sit upright with your spine straight. Relax your shoulders and neck. Your hands can rest comfortably on your lap or thighs. Your legs can be in a cross-legged posture, straight out in front of you, or somewhere in between as you see fit.

Meditation Techniques

• Mindfulness meditation: Focus on your breath or sensations in your body. Notice your thoughts and feelings without judgment.
• Loving-kindness meditation: Cultivate feelings of compassion and kindness towards yourself and others.
• Visualization meditation: Create mental images of peaceful or inspiring scenes.

Tips for Using the BackJack Chair

• Experiment with different positions: Find the position that feels most comfortable for you.
• Use cushions or blankets: If needed, add small cushions, throw pillows, knee pillows, or blankets for extra comfort.
• Listen to your body: If you experience discomfort, adjust your position or take a short break.
• Be patient: Meditation is a practice that takes time. Be patient with yourself as you develop your skills.

By using the BackJack chair, you can create a more comfortable and supportive environment for your meditation practice. Enjoy the benefits of a relaxed body and a focused mind.
