You do not need to sit down to mediate. That is the biggest myth. I mediate while going about my day.

> You do not need to sit down to mediate.

I find that if I try to mediate standing up I come across as aggressive.

Some things are better done in private, because some people don't get what you're doing and feel fazed or threatened by it, for whatever reason, typically ignorance or intolerance.

[Tao3300]

Yes, usually privacy is valued over transparency in mediation. It depends on the parties involved and their concerns, naturally.

[vram22]

Right, it is a myth.

There's a lot of misinformation floating around about the subject.

Basically, any activity can be a meditation. So can no activity, e.g. zazen.
