For those who practice meditation, getting into a proper posture in a relaxed manner is quite simple and easy. But for those who are new to it or have long-term health problems concerning their backs and hips, simply relaxing can be difficult, let alone getting into the right position.
Whilemeditation chairscan be a reasonable solution for most people with these handicaps, some people prefer smaller forms of support which can be easily supplemented with meditation pillows instead of chairs. Meditation pillows are plush and comfy and come in many funky colors and designs which can make them a great addition to your home décor.
These meditation pillows and meditation cushions not only provide better support while meditating but also come with the added benefits of reduction in stress by conforming to the shape of your body while you’re sitting on it, providing proper ergonomic support as well as an easier transition period to support less meditation posture.
