    I have begun to practice Asana, and I wonder if anyone more experienced in the matter could inform me as to what normal symptoms of the practice are, as I want to be sure the physical discomfort I experience will not have any long term detrimental effects on the health of my muscles or joints.

    Many of the postures I use are in a sort of kneeling bow form, and typically preceding any actual pain I lose sensation in my legs and feet, followed by a sort of "coldness." I would simply like to be sure whether or not this is a natural aspect of this practice so as to aid relaxation and allow me to carry out the posture to the fullest extent without worry.

    Thanks,

    Much appreciated.

    As I suspected I will find my resolution in further experimentation with various postures.

    I must say I am definitely of the belief that physical pain can be a useful tool when applied to meditation, should one seek to invoke the appropriate god-forms.

    I injured my left knee while doing seiza-bad vajrasana-dragon asana. My new rule - when you feel pain stop or do walking meditation. I was sitting for 30min my feet becoming lump, minor pain in knees and after 6 months I can't feel balance when I'm standing straight. I'm waiting for my doctor to look at it. Do your research on vajrasana or go to my site kult.private.lt - I got some links that show good posture.
