Meditation - The Importance of Meditation Furniture
A Meditation cushion may resemble the bean bag in your family room, but there are reasons for using these during meditation. These cushions and benches encourage the “relaxation response”. Different people have different body structures and that is why it is important to find a sitting position that will work best for you. Some people change their positions as well as their sitting furniture to achieve a more relaxed posture.
Cushions and zafus are often environmetally friendly meditation furniture made with organic cotton and buckwheat hulls and are perfect for people who prefer using bean bags while meditating. The buckwheat conforms to one’s shape in addition to providing a firm seat.
Gone are the days when meditation meant sitting on the floor in uncomfortable positions. The first step in meditation should be about finding a sitting or lying down position that relaxes the body. And if relaxing the body means using of comfortable furniture, then that is the way to go about meditation.
