Another secret of the posture has absolutely nothing to do with the posture itself. It resides in the negative aspect of this posture, meaning that the teaching of the posture is not contained solely in the points activated by the posture: the top of the foot, the middle of the thighs, the mudra of the thumbs in contact, the position of the gaze, knees on the ground,
but in the points that the absence of posture obstructs, in the point that the lack of posture prevents us from engaging.
In the hollow, therefore, of the posture, the perineal point is stimulated by the zafu thanks to the heels positioned on the opposite thigh.
The perineal point, the root chakra, is gently brought to consciousness.
Notes & Silence 
My own view is that chakras are symbolic rather than physical.
Therefore any posture (whether it relays to them or not, but let’s accept it does) is equally so.
Symbols have the meanings we give them.
I ascribe no meaning.
Therefore, I am relieved of postural requirements in whatever meditation I might undertake.
Just call me an anarchist…

I believe that symbolic and physical levels can happily coexist.
You are as relieved of postural requiremets as defined by them..
And ‘physical’ goes beyond physical.
Relieved on a certain level
As defined on another.
