@john. Thanks for the info. Now I know that it should be reletively harmless, ok going to rent some movies be try this position for a whole day. I should be paralysed after that, just will have to see how long it lasts. Exciting.

Rich, i tried your way of making legs numb, it seems quite cool, my feet became numb after a few minutes, the remaining parts of legs were only mildly numb, so there wasn’t any deep paralysis, bu it’s cool nevertheless. thanks!

@Rich
As a physiotherapist I can confirm that what you are doing is putting a mild stretch on your nerves. There shouldn’t be any long term damage from holding it for longer, you should just find that the numbness takes longer before you return to normal.

I’m not really sure if that’s good news or bad news but hope it’s useful anyway.

It does work for me any time. I have chickened out of holding it more than half hour though. Maybe I will get the nerve to try it.

I have a feeling it just stretches my nerve roots in my lower back.My circulation is fine and my legs stay warm with a pulse so it is nerve.

Let me know if you need any explaination. Just email me.

@Rich. I was wondering if people had found reliable ways of making this happen deliberately. I should try this.

I find if I sit on a bed with my back flat against the bedboard and my legs straight and together in front of me they fall asleep. After about 20 minutes I lose sensation and the ability to move my knees down, bum, and back of my thighs. It can feel like I am paralysed for real. Amazing feeling. When I lay back down again it’s gone in a minute though. I always hope it stays. Strange to want that.

I have this reoccurring dream that I’m a LAK amp, in a chair. Life is great. Then I wake up. One time, after having this dream, I hopped around my bedroom for a good 5 minutes trying to find the jeans I wanted to wear, when I felt a pain in my left foot. I thought, “That must be a phantom pain.” No, I looked down, and I had stubbed my big toe on my left foot one of my sons toys. Talk about a reality check…
