The Shaolin Seven Points Sitting Meditation Method
The traditional form of the Shaolin Sitting Meditation is a Still Meditation exercise. The goal of the exercise is to continually lessen the mental activity.
The 7 Points or Steps of Sitting Meditation are:
1. Seated Position
2. Straight Back
3. Shoulders Back and Chest Forward
4. Hand Position
5. Neck Straight and Head Levelled
6. Tongue on Roof of Mouth
7. Eyes

When you have found a comfortable seated position, begin by counting the breath with each set of breath in and out and from one to ten. Repeat until the mind becomes focused and calm.
