Thread: Going numb during SP, need help

This has been driving me nuts for the past few nights. I've trying to go into SP but my body always gets really numb and eventually I just can't take it so I force myself to move. The thing that gets me is when I start feeling all numb it's impossible for me to realize if I'm entering SP(as in my body is going asleep or whatever), or if I'm cutting off circulation and my arm is going numb because of no blood circulation. This morning I tried it a couple again after waking up and each time my arm went completely numb I immediately opened my eyes thinking I'm just blocking the blood flow.

Is there any way to tell the difference at all? When I did actually move my arm again I'm thinking it actually did feel like when you usually are moving a body part after the bloods been blocked out for awhile, as in it was feeling tingly for a bit afterwards. But I'm not putting my arm in any position that's abnormal(in fact it's just laying flat on the matress). Another thing is that it was just the one arm while my other one wasn't going numb at all.

Any advice appreciated.

lol? isn't Sp to get a numb body?

I guess I forgot to make it clear I know numbness is supposed to happen. My problem though is identifying if it's really from SP or cut off blood circulation.

force yourself to stay still. If your limbs go blue you know you're getting your circulation cut off. If they don't you know it's just sp.

Well, since my hands are under the covers, and it's night, I can't exactly check if they're blue without moving, or opening my eyes, so I can't really see how that's a viable solution =p

I have the same worries , because I can't tell if I’m going to numb or losing my circulation. So , I just WILD in a position where I know it's IMPOSSIBLE to lose circulation.

But , hopefully someone can answer your question. Because I would like to know too

same thing happened to me last night. it was the farthest ive gotten for trying to get SP. after an hour of lying flat on my back i noticed my legs and hands were going numb. after about 10 minutes of that numbness i gave up. it was fairly easy to move my legs and arms afterwards. I was thrown off by the numb feeling becaues its never happened before. it was almost irratating like u explained. just stick through it and stay focused u can get full SP and get to the transition phase.

i'll be trying this tonight, im hoping to get some good momentum on my progress.
