Kneeling-meditation. Sit with your feet under your buttocks, with back straight. This is called kneeling-meditation or Zazen pose. Much discipline is needed to maintain this pose. The resulting pins and needles causes the mind to concentrate on the meditation, not the pain...

Zazen is the sitting meditation practiced in Zen Buddhism. There are also standing, half-standing and walking meditation. This is a focusless meditation where you do not think of anything or picture anything.
