Purple feet.

Question

Hello, Kosen! I have only recently managed to sit in full lotus. It is still very difficult, but I am already feeling more comfortable. However, after sitting for 10 minutes, my legs go numb and my feet turn purple, surely from poor circulation. How bad is this? How long can I remain with purple feet without harming myself? Gassho
