A meditation cushion, the round style commonly known as a zafu, provides essential support and comfort during seated meditation. It can significantly enhance your practice by: 

Improving Posture: A meditation cushion encourages a more upright and balanced sitting position, reducing strain on your back and hips. 

Providing Comfort: The cushion offers a soft and supportive surface for your hips and buttocks, making it easier to maintain a comfortable meditation posture. 

Enhancing Focus: A comfortable and supportive cushion can help you focus on your meditation practice without distractions. 

Promoting Relaxation: A comfortable sitting position can promote relaxation and reduce tension in the body. 

Adding Tradition: Zafus are a traditional Japanese meditation tool, adding a touch of cultural significance to your practice. 

By using a meditation cushion, you can create a more comfortable and supportive environment for your meditation practice, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the experience and reap its benefits.
