The position of the body [during meditation] is very important because the
channels within the body will follow the external disposition of the body.
The way the body is placed will set the channels; and the winds, of course,
flow inside the channels, so if they are properly set, the winds will flow
properly. Mind follows the wind. To focus the mind properly, the winds must
also be functioning properly. (p.39)
