Foot Falling Asleep

Hi Karen and everyone,

 

You asked about the problem of the foot falling asleep in cross legged asanas.

This happens to my left foot too all the time in sadhana and meditations more

than 11 minutes. One thing I noticed was that in the White Tantra Yoga day a few

weeks ago in Florida, this happened about 3 minutes into every meditation (and

some of them were for 62 minutes). Out of desperation, I folded the pillow I was

sitting on (it was a regular pillow you put your head on). It seemed to lift me

up and not pinch the nerve or stop the circulation and I found I could even sit

an hour with it not getting numb. I just thought I'd mention it, though ideally

it would be nice to not have to have a pillow underneath.

My burning question is, has anyone found a way to sit in any of the various

cross-legged asanas comfortably without having ones feet fall asleep? After

about 20 minutes, the foot underneath invariably does this and, needless to

say, this is quite distracting.

 

Sat Nam!

Debbie,

Do you have any comments about your White Tantric Day? Were the meditations

very hard? Had you done this before?

Hi All -

 

Thank you for the replies thus far.

 

I have considered using a pillow, and even a meditation bench (which is

great for alleviating the discomfort experienced doing rock pose for Sat

Kriya). However, my instincts also tell me it's better to go without these

things.

 

As far as purification of nadi's, I'm curious to know what sending an e-mail

to the address referenced in Petru's response would get me. The site is not

in English...

Sat Nam,

 

When we sit on a cusion, it is possible to put the weight of the feet on the

outside of the feet instead of the ankles. This helps protect the ankles.

Cushions and benches are not cheating, they are smart.
