mantis Posted November 7, 2008 dont your knees hurt sitting in full lotus that long? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kronos Posted November 7, 2008 yes... first the hips then the knees and last the feeds. But everyday you can stay a little longer. 3 month ago I coudn't even sit for 45 minutes cross-legged, but everyday I could stay a little longer. No pain no gain :-P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mantis Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) yeah my knees don't hurt while i'm sitting in full lotus but they do ache after; what makes me get out is usually my feet (from being all folded up) and my legs fall asleep too.  edit: i wanted to ask you does it matter which leg you put on your lap first? ie. left over right or right over left?  and after finishing my session i have the following input:  full lotus hurts like hell  Edited November 7, 2008 by mantis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Posted November 7, 2008 Hey guys, Â I don't know where you hear this from. But you definitely don't need to be able to sit in full lotus to start Longmen Pai practice. Even just sitting on a chair in the beginning is fine. Â Ken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kronos Posted November 7, 2008 Nobody said that :-) I just said that we had to sit still for more than one hour on the 3. day of our first seminar. And it would be better being able to sit in full lotus than just cross-legged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
