Speaking of a balanced seat and this admission coming from a yogic
practicioner for close to 3 decades and a purist to boot, possibly rivaling
J & K and his non used wooly sock, i am finding that uncrossing the legs in
the latter minutes of meditation and stretching them straight out leads me
away from any discomfort and allows for a much deeper session. If i would
have admitted this to myself before these practices, it would have been akin
to sin, and shooting myself well before sunrise.

Yeah, I'd been meaning to report something similar. When I've done Zen and other
meditation, I've been very very austere about it. Never moving, not even to scratch my eye.
Not even if a mosquito bit. For some reason, in AYP, I feel much freer. Shoot, sometimes I
even rub an eye or scratch my nose (only if it truly itches, not just my ego manufacturing
an itch to distract me...it took a lot of practice to get past that sort of thing!).
I think this is, basically, what you're saying. There's something a lot more down-to-earth
about this route to divine connectedness. Less formal. And I think that's one reason it
works so well!
I'm still not going to use a damned wooly sock, though.

"I still not going to use a damned wooly sock, though."
Maybe try a cotton one?
