Do you meditate?  I mean, seriously sit and meditate?  It is so good for you.  It lowers your blood pressure, calms your adrenal glands, puts your brain waves “in order,” and releases tension and stress.  Best of all it connects you not only to yourself, but to God or the Higher Power you believe in.  It is something that can only be beneficial.  So do you have a meditation cushion?

Most people just sit in a chair or on the floor and begin meditating.  And there is nothing wrong with that.  It is the “economy” meditation.  But to do it right, setting the scene is important.  Candles set the mood, music of course is a part of meditation, but a cushion tells your body it is time to shift into a lower gear and begin the calm practice of meditation.

The cushions can be expensive so why not make one.  It isn’t hard to do.  There is a wonderful set of instructions on making your own meditation cushion online – print them out, get your materials, and sew up your cushion.  Choose a fabric you love – it should reflect your personality and decor, but it should also reflect the mood you are trying to achieve.

Enjoy – this is a wonderful craft for yourself or for a gift.  It is classy, beautiful, and inexpensive to make.
