All About Meditation Cushions
Before I ever used meditation cushions, I used pillows from my couch and folded up blankets-anything that would lift my hips a little and provide some sort of respite to my lower back. While my inventions were okay as placeholders, they did not make sitting for long periods of time comfortable or fun. It felt a little like plain yogurt tastes: smooth but lacking flavor.
The first time I used a meditation cushion, however, my hips and lower back rejoiced in the comfort. There was no question that this invention had been made for this exact experience and it made meditating that much easier and so much more enjoyable. I equated it to blueberry yogurt: creamy and bursting with flavor!
Here are my top four favorite meditation cushions:
- 20” height makes sitting tall with open hips so easy!
- Made with a 100% cotton cover that can be unzipped and washed and natural buckwheat hulls that provide just the right firmness
- Handmade in Canada
- Shaped like a heart so your base feels super stable and you can tuck your crossed legs close to you
- Handmade in Thailand from organic silk cotton from the kapok tree, which makes it soft, pliable, and firm in all the right ways
