OK, this is the most remedial question ever!!! unfortunately, i couldn't find the answer so easily, so here goes....

how does one sit?!

i'm lame about my sitting consistencey...and i tend to "do my own thing" frequently. but, i'm finding that i want to solidify HOW and WHY right now...so.....

i cant accomplish full lotus, but i can do half...which leg goes on top? which on bottom? nishijima says left on top on youtube...many others say left on bottom....what is correct? why? what is the significance?

same with hands.....and what's with the different hand positions? holding/making the egg, etc... WTF?

i've committed to joining treeleaf, taking the online jukai, etc....but, i need some basic instruction on how "we' are doing things.

jundo, help me out bro!
