What does the last part mean? Does it mean "Apparently (by telling me to sit
in the lotus position) the monk was telling me to meditate and calm my heart"?

question
meaning
Meaning of ～なさいということらしい in this context
Your understanding is correct. ～ということらしい roughly translates to "It seems to
mean ～", and "瞑想をして心を落ち着けなさい" is the quote, i.e., what the narrator thought
the monk was saying.
