The Lotus Position, also known as Padmasana, is a posture used in Yoga and Meditation. It consists in sitting cross-legged with each foot placed atop the opposite thigh and the hands resting on the knees. In fiction, this position is used as a visual shorthand for any character practicing meditation, using Psychic Powers or entering any kind of trance. In this context, the pose is used interchangeably with Sukhasana, another Yoga posture known simply as "sitting cross-legged". This will be so even if in the story's context (different world, time period, dimension, etc.) said character would have absolutely no contact with yoga or Eastern meditation techniques. Some characters tend to sit like this even in everyday circumstances, which usually serves to indicate that they are into meditation and Eastern spirituality, and have a meditative/spiritual mindset even in ordinary situations. Beginners start with a Half Lotus, in which only one foot is resting on the opposing thigh. The Full Lotus is considered an intermediate or even advanced posture. The real-life purpose of the Lotus Position is to be relaxed enough to meditate but not so relaxed that you fall asleep, and to prevent the yogi from falling either forwards or backwards during meditation. See also the Useful Note. See Levitating Lotus Position for when the meditator is also floating a few feet above the ground. Compare with Seiza Squirm, its Japanese counterpart. A comedic subversion of the trope often involves Asleep, Not Meditating. See also Mystical Lotus, the motif that this position is named after. |

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics): Meditation is an integral part of a Guardian's training. It pops regularly, most of the time in Knuckles-centric stories. Levitation comes into play only when Chaos Forces are involved. Besides Knuckles, Locke and other Guardians, other characters that are shown meditating are Espio (comes with being a Ninja) and Guru Emu (more like a tripped-out trance. It's sill his default sitting pose, though). | |

In Dark Souls III, the Path of the Dragon gesture has the player sitting in the Lotus Position. Using the gesture next to the Dragon Discipline in Irithyll Dungeon will teleport the player to the Archdragon Peak. Within the Peak, there are two different shrines in which using the gesture in front of them will grant the player the Calamity Ring and the Twinkling Dragon Torso Stone respectively. | |

Stargate-verse: Interestingly, it is implied in Stargate SG-1 that Earth Buddhism is somehow connected with the ascended Ancients. It is likely that meditation practices (including the Lotus Position) were brought by them when they returned to Earth. Thus the following examples are found: Jaffas like Teal'c use this position to achieve the Kelno'reem state, a deep meditation akin to sleep, allowing their Goa'uld symbiote to heal diseases and other ailments the Jaffa may suffer from. The Lotus Position was apparently introduced in the Pegasus galaxy too. It is adopted by the Ancients trying to Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence — and by the Humanoid Replicators copycatting them. Teyla Emmagan from Stargate Atlantis use this posture when practicing meditation, or trying to contact the Wraith Hivemind. Her efforts to teach meditation to her teammates don't go well, though. Ronon manages to fall asleep while keeping the posture, and McKay (in "The Tao of Rodney") favors more lying on the floor. |

Kung Fu: Kwai Chang Caine routinely adopts the position (sometimes barechested) when he has nothing to do at the moment, being a Shaolin monk and a Martial Pacifist. Often, he'll sit quietly after being captured, to conserve his strength. Too late, his captors learn it was part of an I Surrender, Suckers gambit, and that they've brought a One-Man Army into their midst. So does Kwai Chang Caine the second in Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, naturally. |

Love, Death & Robots. In "Sonnie's Edge", Sonnie adopts this position while remote-piloting her Khanivore, while her opponent across the ring is more expressive. However this is misdirection. Turns out Sonnie's brain is in the Khanivore and her human body is what's being remote-piloted — it's in this position not to concentrate but because it's switched off while she's fighting. | |

Next, we see it in The Lion King 1 ½, when he explains to Timon that he must "look beyond what he sees" to find Hakuna Matata. In the spin-off TV series The Lion Guard, he shows his apprentice Makini how to meditate in this position in order to calm herself down. |

The Witch of Knightcharm: Starlyght, a new student at an evil Wizarding School, meditates in this position while readying herself for a race. However, since the race is life-or-death and the students are even allowed to kill each other in order to ensure they don't finish last and get eliminated, Starlyght's calm meditation appears more unnerving than peaceful. | |

Stone Ocean: Once Jotaro receives his stolen Star Platinum, his unconscious body arose into a stance like an aesthetic monk while still being in deep sleep, as Star Platinum acts as a instinctive defense. |

Safehold: About halfway through the series, Merlin has taken to sitting in lotus position whenever he's officially "meditating". Though in his case it's camouflage for what he's really doing (monitoring a network of spy satellites or holding comm conversations). It works as camouflage because everyone expects a seijin to meditate regularly. | |

Swellhead has Diogenes Club hero of The '70s, psychic detective Richard Jeperson, come of retirement in the modern era to take on a reality-warping supervillain. In their final confrontation Jeperson gets into this position for a battle of willpower, but not without some assistance from his pretty female sidekick as he's not as flexible as he used to be. The position comes in handy though when the supervillain tries opening a trapdoor to his pit of alligators beneath our hero. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Tara sits in this position when doing a location spell in "Bargaining". Buffy is sitting on a picnic table this way in "The Wish", causing Xander to address her as "Wise One". Xander himself does it in "I Only Have Eyes For You" when doing his part of a Hollywood Exorcism, albeit for practical reasons — the room he's in is crawling with snakes, so he has to sit on a small dining table. In the last scene of "Same Time, Same Place", Willow is sitting on her bed in lotus, using magic to heal herself after her ordeal with Gnarl. Buffy then sits in lotus facing Willow, offering her own strength to help Willow heal. |
