AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Every time I concentrate, I get cramp in either of my feet. Why is it happening? The better the concentration, the worse is the cramp.πŸ§ βš‘πŸŽ―πŸ‘οΈ

It happens because of a hypersensitivity of the nervous system which becomes hyperconscious and responds this way, especially when it engages in internalising activities.

2. Ensure you have enough fluids and salt.

3. Call Peace before you begin the meditation. 

4. Try sitting in a comfortable chair for meditating.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

This is because the vital is unsteady. Practice equanimity, apply reason to control the vital from jumping from one thing to another, above all, call Peace and Calm to fix this not so uncommon difficulty.
