Question
Hi James, thanks for reading. My question is this:
I'm a beginner meditator and sit in the burmese posture, (it feels more stable than in a chair) however after 10 minutes or so I get strong pins and needles in my feet. As far as I know this kind of sensation is common and I should simply return to the breath. My only concern is that I have Raynaud's phenomenon: http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/adam/images/en/raynauds-phenomenon-picture.j... which happens in response to cold and stress, however when I sit my feet go a bit grey and whitish on the soles, nevertheless after walking a bit I feel fine afterwards and during group meditation I didn't find anyone else to be in any less pain than I was.
The only thing is the concern brings an element of uncertainty to my meditation practice, I'm not sure if I should continue the posture or simply carry on as normal. What's your advice?
Also what meditations would you advise for someone with slow spinning chara's especially in the root, solar plexus and heart.

Dear Selfie
I would recommend that you sit comfortably. I suppose that a healer could take care of the chakras faster than meditation. You could meditate on imagining your chakras spinning faster, although the purpose of meditation is to still the mind. That is why you should sit comfortably.
