Meditation Cushion Review - Find the Best One for You |
|
One of the biggest aspects of meditation that's just NOT talked about enough, is finding your ideal meditation seat — you must be comfortable in order to reach nirvana. Anatomically, most spines require support in order to sit on the floor for long periods of time. If you've ever had pins-and-needles in your feet or an achy back while meditating, you NEED to prop yourself up with cushions. In fact, unless you're in the .01% of people who are comfortable sitting in lotus on the floor with no back support, cushions should be part of your meditation ritual. This video covers 4 types of meditations cushions: the V-Shape Yoga Cushion, Zafu, Zabuton, and Zen Yoga Pillow (all by veteran yoga brand Hugger-Mugger). Keep in mind that the aim of any mediation cushion is to elevate your pelvis so your hips are ABOVE your knees. This allows for proper blood flow to your legs and feet so you can sit for longer and cultivates a tall spine in which energy can flow freely.
