Hi Matthew!

I had anxiety a long time ago when meditating and my legs fell a sleep from sitting still. It was a one time thing. Is the anxiety percistant or only when you meditate?
If other parts of the body dissapers it sounds like the fourth jhana according Bhante Vimalarasis view of jhanas. Maybe its just fear of losing the body. Doug Krafts book Buddha's map is masterpiece on this way of lovingkindness meditation.
