what happens if you don't eat, don't sleep? If you don't charge your jhana battery, meditation is going to be like that. no energy, no force, no power.

<p>No, if the leg lies on each other, but Yes, if each leg is on the floor.</p>
<p>The point is the weight and muscular.</p>
<p>The best balance of entire body weight is on laying-on-the-floor-legs sitting with straight back bones sitting (easier by the buttocks support, pillow, etc.)</p>

<p>Keep your back straight so you realize you are too fat! Obviously it’s not the case for ppl with back problems but generally speaking a straight back is a straight line to heaven</p>

For a beginner, more important to be relaxed and comfortable, and chair is fine.
For more advanced, the energy flows better, jhana battery charges faster, if you can sit comfortably in cross leg posture.

better energy flow and jhana battery charging.
If you stick with long term with meditation, you'll be able to verify for yourself.

No, if the leg lies on each other, but Yes, if each leg is on the floor.

The point is the weight and muscular.

The best balance of entire body weight is on laying-on-the-floor-legs sitting with straight back bones sitting (easier by the buttocks support, pillow, etc.)

It's good in both short and long term.
