First, during meditation, all things that bind the body, such as belts and ties, should be loosened to relax the body and have a thorough rest.
Second, when the climate is cold, wrap your knees and back neck to keep warm, otherwise the cold will invade your body during meditation and there is no cure. Pay special attention to this point.
Third, people who practice meditation for the first time should pay attention to adjusting the air and light. If the light is too strong, it will disperse, and if it is too dark, it will faint. Three feet in front of the seat, the air should be able to convection.
Fourth, people who are used to it for the first time should not meditate when they are too full. If they feel sleepy, don't just sit still. They should get enough sleep before sitting down, so that they can settle down easily.
Whether you are learning for the first time or for a long time, you should raise your hips by two or three inches. People who learn meditation for the first time can raise their legs four or five inches, and gradually lower them after a long time (if your hips are not raised, your body center of gravity will definitely lean back and block your pulse, which is also futile).
6. When sitting down, rub your face and feet with your hands to make the blood flow, and then leave your seat and do moderate exercise.
Seven, sitting with a smile, let the facial nerves relax, kind and natural. Don't let your facial expression become stiff and wither, become cold, and your heart will be stiff and nervous.

Adverse effects:
1, leg and foot ache: When sitting cross-legged, it's like an invisible gate is erected between up and down, and only a small amount of qi and blood can go down. People with leg and foot diseases or weak blood circulation tend to feel sore.
2. Insufficient local oxygen supply will damage the body tissue: If you blindly pursue the time and posture of sitting, regardless of your own tolerance and individual differences, it will hurt your bones and muscles, resulting in insufficient local oxygen supply to your lower limbs and even damage your body tissue.
Extended data:
When you meditate, you should master two kinds of heat, one is mental heat and the other is cross-legged heat.
Focus, don't bother. When practicing meditation, be natural and peaceful, and don't think too much about breathing and thoughts. If you think too much, people can't relax, but they form a complex heart fire, which is contrary to the "relaxation into silence" pursued by meditation.
Gao Panlong in the Ming Dynasty said in the theory of meditation: "The method of meditation is not easy to read, and it needs no arrangement, but ordinary and silent." . Therefore, when you meditate, you should "clean your heart" and practice "inaction".
As the saying goes, you can take a break, practice meditation with a relaxed and happy mood, forget your interests, forget your reputation, forget yourself, and reach the state of selflessness.
There are also many people who have just started to practice meditation. Because their bodies are relatively static, their minds are messy, and they are easy to be in a trance.

My legs and feet are sore. Take a rest and practice again. When sitting on your knees, it's like erecting an invisible gate between your upper and lower body, and only a small amount of qi and blood can go down. People with leg and foot diseases or weak blood circulation tend to feel sore.
Don't practice hard at this time, relax your legs in time, supplemented by massage or walking. The qi and blood in the lower limbs will rush out like water that opens the floodgates, and it feels as if there is heat flow through the legs and feet. This process can promote blood circulation and is naturally beneficial to health.
If you blindly pursue the time and posture of sitting, regardless of your tolerance and individual differences, it will hurt bones and muscles, cause insufficient oxygen supply to lower limbs, and even damage body tissues. "There is no beauty or evil in things, and it is a disaster to go too far." We must grasp the temperature of everything so as not to go too far.
