On a lighter note -- was just back from a full-lotus session in the
park -- at night. First I'm on the grass in the dark, facing the moon.
My pineal gland is pulsating and I'm wondering where is the energy
shooting into? At first I thought it was the moon so I pointed my
pineal gland at the moon. (haha). No -- the rate of vagus nerve
pulsation did not increase. Ah -- but I'm getting bit -- ants I think.
Then I noticed this BIG rabbit to my right. Don't think much of it
since rabbits are common -- but this one has the WHOLE park, lots of
food.
So then I move to a picnic bench. More full-lotus. Again the pineal gland is pulsating -- something is sucking up my energy. That's great because it exorcises the lower emotions (fear, anger, sadness, worry, lust). So I don't question it. More pineal gland pulsations. Then I notice the rabbit followed me to the picnic bench -- from 50 feet away -- even though it had the WHOLE park to itself. The energy is going INTO the rabbit. The rabbit keeps coming closer. Closer. It's only a few feet from me now, right under the picnic bench - even though there's not much grass under the bench -- and the energy from my pineal gland is FLOWING into the Rabbit.
I love the rabbit. The rabbit loves me. We share the park together in perfect harmony.

So Master Nan, Huai-chin explains how the full lotus posture works in meditation:
I think it's pretty obvious that "lack" of full lotus meditation is quite the norm in the Westernized modern world.
But the arguments FOR practicing full lotus are not as well known.
