In general, its a good idea to seek instruction and feedback from an offline Buddhist meditation teacher.

Yes Adam... it is important to develop skillful means toward meditation with a teacher. Also there are different meditative techniques particular to some traditions. In my case I practice zazen where the posture being at the zafu, the chair of a bench, is a fundamental aspect for it. Also meditation done in group, at least at the beginning, is also very important because meditation is an experience so an experienced teacher can guide you through some pitfalls that usually happen at the beginning.
