Meditation Sitting positions - Star Trek Website

I’m a large guy 6 ft 1 in and 280 LBS. I struggle to sit criss cross for an hour because my legs get tired and my thunder thighs sorta push me off kilter and I wanna lean back. So I’ve been sitting on my shins instead and this is way better for maintaining posture but I have just barely 20 minutes before my legs fall asleep and then it hurts once I get up to journal. I don’t want to use a chair or a pillow because I travel a lot and there’s no guarantee I’ll have those with me. Any position suggestions? Maybe I’ll look into a pillow or mat.

The death pose may be useful to you. Just don’t fall asleep unless that is your intention. It is basically laying on your back with your arms relaxed by your sides.

I’ve done that and its really relaxing.

Only problem is it feels like cheating.

It works for me, I can’t do the full lotus.
