"The Ignatian Method of prayer places oneself in the Biblical scene where you become a part of it by way of your imagination." http://www.msgr.ca/msgr/WEBPrayerHANDBOOK_4_ignatian_prayer.htm May 17 07, 8:22 AM

For instance, the sitting posture of Zen Buddhism is unquestionably one of the most relaxed postures that has ever been discovered, and it has been proven to have a remarkably quieting effect upon the mind. There is no reason why this posture could not be incorporated into our Christian prayer without further concern. It is a posture which allows prayer to be prolonged without moving, a point that St. Ignatius singles out as important in the Spiritual Exercises.4 He presents a series of optional positions to the meditator, but he specifies one condition--that whatever posture is chosen, it is to be maintained without change throughout the whole meditation period."
