Here is a pamplet about posture for sitting on the floor and physical exercises/stretches to help the body: The Art of Sitting by Tan Ajahn Kalyano.

May you be happy, and may your life be filled with Love and illumination.

Ajahn Wade with his teacher, Luang Por Anan Akincano of the Ajahn Chah lineage, in 2017.

Meditation develops serenity, clarity, and resilience. We come to feel more grounded and less reactive. We learn about who we are and happiness naturally grows as we feel lighter inside. This is the path to Awakening.
