I also have this problem with pain in long sits, but it's more that after sits longer than 30 minutes, I get lasting pain in joints that I feel are causing permanent damage, and it is more the thought of doing some stupid shit and breaking some joint (and having to do lots of physical therapy and rehab or surgery) that stops me.

@Vipassana Hey, I've been wanting to do long sits, but every time my knees start hurting when i sit cross legged for long. Just wondering, during and after the sit do you get any knee pain or joint pain?

Though this may seem a little far off, I believe it is worth checking out, especially if music is important to your life purpose: Go online and find a physical therapist. From my experience, posture imbalances can lead to even headaches, and when you say that acupuncture helps I think it may be a tightness caused by muscles lower down (eg a higher left shoulder). Yes there is only a small possibility that it may be the cause, but I suggest that you go get a check up or body assessment with a physical therapist (they're usually for free).

Yes. Please make a video on this.
