Meditating lying down

[Ryan_047]

Hello!

Could meditating while lying down be harmful? I'm meditating 30 minutes per day lying down in my bed.My head is on my pillow and my body is facing the ceiling.Recently I've noticed that the back of my head starts to hurt because of this.Not dizziness or head pain,but the exterior back of my head hurts because of the pressure on the pillow during the meditation session.How should I continue meditating so this problem will go away?(I want to continue to meditate lying down because of reasons).

That's how I do it and it hasn't hurt me.  I hour per day.  It seems to hinge on whether you buy into the Kundalini and Chakras Paradigm or not.  I don't, so for me Meditation is simply about maintaining mindfulness.  Meditation also does a lot of subtle healing for me.  These include but are not limited to, making me feel better, making me more aware of the illusion of Maya, making me more centered in the true Self, making me feel more rested and energized.

Try sitting traditionally and make a comparison for yourself. 

Why are you laying down?
