my problem is that after meditating for hours, i cannot stand immediately and have to wait till i can feel my legs. this maybe because of my lutos position, i think it prevents blood from reaching my legs during meditation. what you think guys?

How long ago did you start mediating in the lotus position.

yeah it is normal. espisally if your meditation is for hours. I sit in seiza becuase thats how i was taught. thats sitting on ur shins. my feet fall alseep about 10 minets into it. i do have to wait a while to stand. my sensei told me a while ago that he has no problem but many others do have problems. its just a flexible thing. but thats awsome that u mediate that long. i take kobayashi shorin ryu karate do. hope this helps. c ya
