proper posture is necessary for proper meditation
you are merely sitting here -- sitting still has fantastic benefits. but this is just sitting -- if not, what meditation is this?

theres many different disseminations of meditation. they require practice and discipline, you dont get there by doing the forms halfway. it requires strict adherence to the traditions.

sitting in the sun has benefits sure, its very calming and relaxing to focus on your breath. it may reduce anxieties.

come to /x/ if you want to learn more about the difference, loads of information here. pick a practice, adhere.

You're doing fine! Mindfulness can be applied to any and every activity! From brushing your teeth, to eating an apple, to taking a shower or even driving a car. I meditate as much as I possibly can. I also do compassion practices. I really enjoy reiki and reiki circles too

Not necessarily Eastern meditation, but I do some hours of the Divine Office and the Rosary.

Regardless of which spiritual tradition it's based in, meditation is a powerful and excellent tool.

Went to a Buddhist high school that practiced meditation every day before and after school, though it was more sitting because how tf are you going to get 15-20 teenagers to legit meditate?

Meditation is synonymous with Mental Exercise. Like physical exercise, there are many forms of meditation including Yoga and Prayer as all include some form of mental exercise that calms/grounds the person doing them. I'd say real meditation includes anything that does that, instead of simple brainwashing like listening to music which wears off instantly. There's a fine line between what helps and what is extremely temporary or just a placebo.

Read Shiva Samhita, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, etc.

The benefits of meditating in proper asana are numerous.

Yeah I meditate 40 min twice a day AMA.
