Although it seems to be rare, some people have a tendency to feel dizzy or faint while meditating. I'm not in a position to know why, but meditating lowers your blood pressure, and it may be that in some people that happens too quickly, or they already have low blood pressure, or they go from having high blood pressure to normal blood pressure and their systems can't adapt. Do you know if either of your parents was meditating in hot conditions, or if they had the lower half of the body kept warm by a blanket? You know, I’ve heard of this happening.

Without knowing you or seeing you it's impossible to know what posture would work for you. It's not just a question of your size, but also of your degree of flexibility. What meditation postures have you tried, and which have/haven't worked for you? Hi, Taya.
