Why use a Zafu cushion?

There are many advantages to using a Zafu cushion, whether for meditation, relaxation, or simply to promote greater comfort in everyday life. Here are the reasons why you should use a Zafu cushion during your meditation session:

  • Maintain correct posture A Zafu cushion helps you maintain correct sitting posture. When you sit on it, your hips are slightly higher than your knees. This allows your spine to remain in a more natural position. The result: less pressure on your back, shoulders and neck, and therefore less risk of muscular pain and tension.
  • Promote concentration and meditation : The practice of meditation requires concentration. The Zafu cushion lets yousit comfortably for long periods.
  • Improved blood circulation By slightly raising your hips, the Zafu cushion helps improve blood circulation in your legs. This is important if you have circulation problems or have to sit for long periods.
  • Reduced stress and anxiety When you sit comfortably on a Zafu cushion, you can relax more easily, both physically and mentally. This can help reduce stress and anxiety, which has a positive impact on your overall well-being.
  • Versatility: Zafu cushions aren't just useful for meditation. You can use them to sit comfortably in many situations, whether reading a book, watching TV, or even working on your computer. They add a touch of comfort to your daily life.
