Meditation can be done while sitting or lying down. The main thing is to find a posture that is comfortable for you, in which you can relax fully. In general, I find it best to be in a sitting position, because you need to be in a balanced state between waking and sleeping consciousness. Sitting allows you to relax, but still stay conscious more easily than lying down does.

Sometimes I find that meditating lying down is so relaxing that I drift into a state of unconsciousness or sleep. This too is okay, as the effects of the meditation will still filter into your energy system. However, it is best to remain conscious.
The sitting posture I use is one in which I sit on a chair with my eyes closed, feet flat on the floor and my spine straight and supported. If you are comfortable and able to, you can sit in the lotus position.
It is important that your spine is straight to facilitate the free flow of energy through the charkas and energy body. It is also important to make sure that your arms and legs are not crossed. This will block the flow of energy.
You can rest your hands on your thighs with your palms facing upward in order to draw universal energy into your system via the palms of your hands. When you sit like this, you are receptive to Divine Energy.
