I know there's different ways to meditate, but is there any difference in affects of meditation according to the position you choose to meditate in? I know some people choose to meditate with their legs crossed (some people call this 'indian style'), some people choose to sit in a normal sitting position that you'd be in while properly sitting in a chair, and others choose to meditate while laying down, but other then the physical position you are in does this make a difference with your meditation?

Personally, I prefer to meditate with my legs crossed (indian style), and I haven't noticed to much of a difference when I meditate in any other position except that if I meditate while laying down I usually fall asleep. I'm mostly just wondering how these positions may affect you and/or your meditation as well as whether or not their is some affect I may not have noticed when I tried these positions.
