davidbhayes — 13 years ago — permalinkHuh. No real thoughts, other than: Don't rest it on things if you don't want to fall asleep!
Generally I've never noticed many posture issues around the head. The way that feels most natural to me — mostly upright with the chin tucked slightly in — seems to be optimal.▲

davidbhayes — 13 years ago — permalinkI feel like it moves and changes somewhat throughout a session, but I most frequently find my attention centered at the nostrils. I find it rests there typically because it's the place where for me the sensation of the breath — which is almost always my "object" of meditation — is most strongly felt.

davidbhayes — 12 years ago — permalinkThat's really interesting! My spine and the muscles around it never really enter my attention. I've been trying yoga a little lately, and it's really made me aware of how many things like this in my body I don't regularly have much awareness of.
