Hi Jo
I recently started Level two of SFQ, and the full lotus posture and it's benefits are explained in detail there. There are also exercises to help your flexibility, so you can work your way up to the full lotus. As of now, I cannot reach the position, but I will tell you that changing to the modified version of the full lotus has greatly improved the results I am getting from my practice. I am really surprised by the difference.
Probably the best way for you to discover the answer is to try it yourself, either sitting cross-legged, or in whatever approximation you can get to the lotus position.

I am encouraged! Thanks for taking the time to reply.
