Here's an interesting article conferring aspects of meditation from yogic (specifically Patanjali's Sutras) and generalized Buddhist points of view. I think it would have been interesting had the author had room to delve into some other variances, such as the Siddha yoga that I subscribe more to, or different schools of thought on Buddhism, but it's a nice article as is.

In other news, I noted another little physical habit that I can have fun correcting - while having to stand for a protracted period of time, I noted that my feet were hurting beyond what they should have been. After all, hadn't I corrected my posture enough that my skeleton was aligned with gravity to bear the weight of my flesh without my muscles having to work? But: I noted the inside sides of my feet were dipping inward, putting a bit of strain on the insides of my ankles and knees. I could tell the muscles weren't used to it, but a bit of attention towards shifting my weight more evenly to the inside and outside sides of my feet did wonders for the issue.
