Greetings Glorian team. Peace and much love. Thank you so much for all your help.
My question today relates to meditation. I experience a pain in my upper back every time I meditate and of course this is distracting. I adjust my posture but it doesn't help much. Sitting in the lotus position is near impossible for me but thanks to your videos on YouTube I learned that this is not necessary. I can sit on a chair which is much more comfortable for me, however, the pain in my upper back is still present. I do ignore it and am able to meditate for up to 30 to minutes per session but I think my meditation could go much deeper if I didn't feel this pain in my back. The pain is not there or I do not perceive it during my day, mostly when I meditate.
One more question regarding meditation if I may. Teachers such as Echart Tolle whome I love teach that the point of meditation is to clear the mind of thoughts and to find the stillness of the present moment but in "authentic meditation" Glorian teaches that the purpose is to attain information that the intellect and the 5 senses cannot. These two ideas seem to contradict each other.
Please advise. Thank you kindly
