Item Description

 

Handmade by The Mindful Menace herself in Kildare, Ireland, Michelle Ging says, "Everything I make is made with longevity and durability in mind as I think this is so important for sustainability. Durable fabrics, upholstery quality threads, and double stitching."

"This cushion has been a game-changer in my meditation practice. As a beginner, my hips and legs were so tight trying to sit cross-legged on the floor. I was plagued with pins and needles and aches and pains. I now have the freedom to practice for as long as I wish. It has also been a great attribute to my yoga practice. It doubles as a bolster and yoga block to modify positions."

Buckwheat Hulls are the hard outer shell that house the seeds of the buckwheat grain. The reasons Michelle chooses them as a filling are:

  • they have an incredibly long life span of 15 to 20 years as they do not compress under pressure unlike synthetic fillings
  • they have a fresh clean smell
  • non-toxic, all-natural no chemicals or preservatives added, 100% organic
  • environmentally friendly, agricultural byproduct
  • may help with migraine
  • zero waste, when discarding add hulls to compost or flowers beds, the soil loves it!

Just like you need a proper bed for a good night's sleep, a high-quality meditation cushion is a must if you want to establish a consistent practice. This cushion is designed to lift your hips allowing them to roll slightly forward, supporting the natural curve of your low back. Once your spine is aligned, the rest of your body follows naturally.

Ms. Ging says, "The cushions are filled with washed organic buckwheat hulls. It's sustainable as it's a farming byproduct meaning the farmer would usually throw it away as it's just the shell of the wheat he needs. It lasts a seriously long time of 10 to 20 years before it needs to be replaced and moulds to your shape while giving great support for your spine so safe to say I'm very pleased with it."
