Seven-point posture of Vairochana A special posture for meditation, in which parts of our body adopt a particular position:

(1) sitting on a comfortable cushion with the legs crossed in the vajra posture (in which the feet are placed upon the opposite thighs),
(2) the back straight,
(3) the head inclined slightly forward,
(4) the eyes remaining open slightly, gazing down the nose,
(5) the shoulders level,
(6) the mouth gently closed, and
(7) the right hand placed upon the left, palms up, four finger widths below the navel with the two thumbs touching just above the navel.
