How To Make A Meditation Cushion

Hi, sugariness readers! Today I bring you some a little different from my regular recipe posts. I want to share a super easy tutorial for a DIY meditation absorber/pillow. I improvised this concluding week and it came together perfectly. For me, an important piece of why I meditate in the first place is to exist content with the unproblematic gifts in life, and to non desire more than I demand. So, there is no need for me to buy a fancy meditation pillow made with new materials, when I can craft i easily and affordably in my own home, with my own hands. I enjoy being part of the procedure, besides.

Buckwheat hulls are used in this tutorial; they are a traditional Japanese pillow filling and a really eco-friendly option. Plus, they brand for a suuuper comfy and firm pillow. I would recommend y'all larn a bag of buckwheat hulls to make this cushion, just a large bag of fabric scraps will work too. Or, you can practice what I did, and use a mixture. I had a small bag of buckwheat hulls in my house, only not enough for a decent cushion, so I used leftover fabric from other projects to cease up the filling. If y'all make this meditation cushion, let me know! Talk soon.
