During sitting meditation, practitioners usually assume a position such as the lotus position, half-lotus, Burmese,

or yoga postures, using the dhyāna mudrā. To regulate the mind, awareness is directed towards counting or watching the breath
or by bringing that awareness to the energy center below the navel (see also ānāpānasati).[128] Often, a square or round cushion
placed on a padded mat is used to sit on; in some other cases, a chair may be used. This practice may simply be called sitting
dhyāna, which is zuòchán (坐禅) in Chinese, and zazen (坐禅) in Japanese, jwaseon (坐禅) in Korean
