•Sidhasana is one of the main poses used for meditation. You can maintain this position for a long duration. Those who find it difficult to practice Padmasana can easily practice Sidhasana for extended periods. This Asana holds the spinal column straight and steady.

•In Sidhasana, the heel is kept pressed against the Mooladhara Chakra, which ensures that the energy currents flow upwards towards the spine.

•The position of the heels also stimulates the lower two chakras Mooladhara and Swadhistana.

•It also gives the practitioner control over his sex urge and the sexual functions.

•Sidhasana is believed to help in arousing the divine cosmic power (Kundalini Shakti) inactive in the lowest nerve center at the spinal column base by purification of the Nadis (passage of nervous energy) and helps in attaining supernatural powers.

•It helps reduce excess fat in the body especially in the abdominal region. It also helps in better functioning of the digestive and excretory systems.

•Sidhasana helps in the cure of pain in the knees, ankles, and back; and those suffering from insomnia and asthma.

•Sidhasana keeps the mind focused because it requires one to sit erect. It’s often suggested for practicing Breath Control. (Pranayama), Concentration (Dharana), Meditation (Dhyana) and Self-realization (Samadhi).
