Hi, I am Srinivas, practicing AYP since last 5 months. I am doing spinal breathing and deep meditation. Recently added Sidhasana during the sitting. But I feel intense heat on the heel at the point of Contact with the root(perineum), particularly at the end of meditation. Is it OK to Continue with Sidhasana during meditation at this stage. I am enjoying AYP and practicing twice daily.

Hi Srinivas:
It is okay to continue in siddhasana if there is not distracting discomfort. If there is, then back off with the heel as necessary to assure smooth practice and results. You also have the option to use siddhasana only in spinal breathing (or only part) until the energy symptom runs its course and stabilizes. Make whatever adjustment that is necessary to keep on a stable path of practice. This is self-pacing.
Also make sure to take adequate rest (5-10 minutes or more) when coming out of sitting practices, and keep active during the day to stablize all the good things that are happening inside.
