&gt;There&#x27;s no shame in using a chair for sitting<p>Easier said than believed when there&#x27;s a sixty-year-old woman within view managing just fine without one ^^.<p>I actually appreciated the discipline of the retreat, I was just physically unprepared for the sitting (too inflexible). I&#x27;m open to other techniques, and when I&#x27;m alone I don&#x27;t force myself into an uncomfortable posture. Thanks for the link.
