Meditation cushion vanilla yellow and the way of use

Our meditation pillow vanilla yellow is generously filled with organic buckwheat. Thanks to an inner pillowcase, you can remove and wash the outer one. Both pillowcases are made of organic cotton.

The anatomical benefit of our meditation cushion vanilla yellow:

As soon as you stay longer in meditation, a meditation cushion or a yoga bolster is indispensable. Due to the slightly elevated position in which you sit, your spine and thus your back is relieved. In addition, also your joints. This allows your breathing and prana to flow better. Furthermore, you should always make sure that your hip joints are placed higher than your knees. This makes sitting for longer periods of time more comfortable. In our western world we are not used to sitting cross-legged, lotus or shin sitting. Therefore, caution is generally advised. Sitting too long in any of the positions just mentioned can damage your meniscus or even your cartilage. In general, the rule of thumb is: if something doesn't feel right, change your sitting position.

The right choice of your meditation cushion:

On the one hand, the height of your meditation cushion depends on your flexibility and the mobility of your hips. On the other hand, it also depends on your preferred sitting position and, of course, simply on how comfortable you feel. In general, your pelvis should tilt slightly forward. This will help you achieve a straight spine. In general, it is recommended to start with a height of 20 cm or more. When you are more experienced, you can reduce the height.

Other uses for our meditation cushion vanilla yellow:

A meditation cushion is not only suitable for meditation. It can also improve your posture in the home office. And playfully open your hips and approach the lotus seat.

Different variants of sitting on a meditation cushion:

Vajrasana or heel sit:

Vajrasana, also called Thunderbolt Pose or Diamond Pose, is a kneeling position in which your calves rest next to your thighs. However, there is also a variation in which you sit on your shins and feet. In Virasana Toesquat you stretch your toes. However, when you sit in Thunderbolt or Virasana, you stretch your ankle and upper foot. This seat makes you long in the spine. Consciously bring your shoulders back. Be sure to keep your feet together. Your hips exert an internal rotation. When practicing this position, your torso is involved, as well as your groin and hip flexors, and also your pelvis. In Vajrasana you activate your Vajra Nadi. In yoga philosophy, it is believed that if you can consciously control this nadi, it can give you a lot of power. Because through this, your mind should be able to activate the sexual energy.

Sukhasana or cross-legged seat

From an anatomical point of view, the cross-legged position helps you by lifting your chest and ribcage. In addition, your hips perform an outward rotation. Your sitting bones take the weight of the body. In addition, your knees rotate outward. In addition, your spine is lifted and stretched upwards. In summary, hip flexors, gluteal muscles, pelvic floor and trunk are involved, while your spine is unloaded. In addition to the Sukhasana pose, there is also the Swastikasana variation. Here your body experiences a deeper flexion of your ankles, knees and hip-internal rotation.

Agnistambhasana - Firelog

If we translate from Sanskrit "agni", it means fire. In addition, "stambh" translated means statue. This is where the translation into English "firelog" comes from. The stretch targets both the hips and the knees. Often we feel one side of our body is more elastic. This is due to the fact that nowadays our body is sometimes exposed to unilateral loads. Through regular exercise from the Firelog position, the symmetry of our body can be balanced. This benefits your hips, pelvis and knees.

Padmasana or lotus position

The lotus seat got its name because it embodies a lotus flower. This is because when the lotus seat is in your practice, you will have an upright posture in this position. In addition, the solidified position makes it easier for you to receive energy. Furthermore, your chakras can flow better. By the way, "Padma" means "lotus". When you get used to sitting on your sitting bones and can do this for a long time without any problems, then one day the lotus will be the goal. Until you get into the Lotus, it takes more or less patience and training to open the hips, depending on the situation. Practicing the Lotus position will benefit your spine as well as your hips and ankles. Start slowly and try to increase your time a little at a time. The goal is to be able to sit in the position for longer periods of time without any problems.
