Immerse yourself in a soothing and regenerating meditation session with this pretty ecru colored round zafu... The meditation cushion, also called “zafu” in the Buddhist zen tradition, is much more than a simple accessory. It is the support of the person who meditates; the assistant who accompanies towards a state of receptivity and expansion of being. That is why it is considered to be as important and noble as spiritual practice itself. Thus, the custom in Zen Buddhism is to perform the gassho, which is a form of salvation, before sitting on the zafu. Gassho is made by putting your hands together in front of your chest and tilting slightly forward.
