“Meditation takes us just as we are, with our confusion and our sanity. This complete acceptance of ourselves as we are is a simple, direct relationship with our being. We call this maitri, loving-kindness toward ourselves and others.” – Pema Chodron
Comfort is the key to successful mediation practice. The result of an uncomfortable meditation session is cramping, pinching, and slumping that makes it tough to focus on anything other than when you can get up again.
A good comfortable meditation cushion lifts your hips and allows them to roll slightly forward, supporting the natural curve of your lower back. Once your spine is aligned, the rest of your body follows naturally. Instant bliss!

The Mandala Hemp Round Zafu meditation cushions are hand crafted in our Chicago workshop.
Hemp Material
They are made from the finest heavy 18 oz. hemp fabric.
In the early 20th century, hemp derived cellulose was promoted as an affordable and renewable raw material for plastics.
Because hemp produces more biomass than any plant species (including corn) that can be grown in a wide range of climates and locations, hemp is considered a sustainable product.
What makes hemp sustainable is that it is densely growing plant that literally chokes out any competing plants. This means harsh chemical herbicides aren’t necessary.
Not only is hemp gentle on the earth, it also requires very little water, especially when compared to cotton.
Hemp also requires a relatively small amount of land to cultivate. According to the Guide to Sustainable Textiles, this means it can produce up to double the fibre yield per hectare than cotton.
The good news is that hemp constitutes a highly sustainable, low-impact crop that can be converted into fabric sustainably.
Buckwheat Hull Filling
The cushion is filled with supportive organic buckwheat hulls - grown in the upper Midwest. Buckwheat are highly regarded for the comfort and support they offer.
Buckwheat hulls are hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant and support got air flow.
Buckwheat hulls are quite firm, so these cushions provide excellent support are quite firm. They are customizable by adding and removing hulls. Making them a perfect fit for the person sitting on them.

"We love our new Zafus!I recently purchased two Zafus (Zafu Meditation Cushion - Hemp Round, Mandala Design) for my partner and I, and we love them! They’re incredibly comfortable, just the right height, and hold their shape. Five stars!"
"I have lived in chronic pain since breaking my neck. I simply cannot meditate on the floor without laying down. FINALLY!! Finally, I can meditate sitting up and I have scientific data thanks to my muse eeg device showing how this meditation cushion has helped my ability to reach deep levels of meditation! Partly due to finally being able to sit without severe pain thanks to the cushion. I also like meditating on the chakra symbols lovingly sewn into the fabric. I just love this so much I am going to buy these for others. I am so excited how this cushion will change my life! Truly!"
"I really love this meditation cushion. I bought a large oval one, it's not small, but if you want to be comfortable during meditation-especially for those who are less flexible and need the height-this can't be beat. I have tried many, many cushions over the years. This one is the best."
