 you are free to receive Holy Communion standing up or kneeling down, on your hands or on your tongue. But we are to keep the one-hour fast from food and beverage beforehand and not be aware of unconfessed mortal sins. And that's a devout way to do it. We're also asked to receive Holy Communion frequently. You can receive Communion every day if you go to Mass every day, and a second time that day if that second time is at Mass.
