Guest guest Posted August 18, 2001 Report Share Posted August 18, 2001 This sound like I am trying to sell you something, but I am only sharing my joy in being able to sit for as long as I wish without hurting my knees or back. So here it is: The ergonomic knee seat model KC 247 from Work Smart. Your local office supply company should have it in stock. I formerly was able to sit in full lotus for 55 minutes in excrutiating pain and about 1 hour and 45 minutes also with much pain at the finish. Then my knee started to hurt because I sat in an bhadda konasana, sometimes an hour at a time. Now with this fantastic seat I am doing 2 hours with no pain that could cause nerve damage or chronic back problems. I see no limit on how long you can sit now. Your butt may hurt but that is all. We used to study with Aiken Roshi and he did not let his students do more that 1/2 sitting at a time, bacause he told us that many people who sit in full lotus for more than that develop nerve damage. Also, I have never been able to meditate for longer that a few minutes before bed time. Now, the other day I did 1 hour and 50 minutes with out dozing off. The aforementioned seat keeps you awake too. I have not been able to read many messages here lately, so if you have any questions, email me at lostnfoudation Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Messenger http://phonecard./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
