Hi all, how do you manage to sit for long periods of time ?

I’m having trouble staying still after 25/30mn. After that my right leg gets so numb, I’ve got to move it every once in a while. I’m not sure it really is an issue, but even if I try ti stay focused on my meditation while moving, it’s always a distraction. Fyi : I sit crossed legs with my butt on a cushion.

Thanks !

    If something is going numb it’s because something is wrong.

    Talk to a good physical therapist to try to figure out how to fix that.

      I don’t think you’ve got to get check by a therapist every time you get numb limbs from staying still for too long. that’s just a pinched nerve or some blood flow restriction from some presure on my butt :) Just a posture/sit issue. haha, I’ll be fine, don’t worry.

      Probably constricting blood flow somewhere in the legs. Sitting different should already help.
