Zafu Meditation Cushion Himalaya

We named this beautiful zafu in honor of the Himalayas aka in Sanskrit Abode of the Snow. This massive 1500 mile long mountain range crosses India, Buthan, China, Nepal and Pakistan, profoundly shaping the climate and culture of the Indian subcontinent, with many of its peaks considered sacred in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.  India’s holy Ganges originates in the Himalayas:  Hinduism believes this most sacred of rivers was held safely in Lord Shiva’s hair then gently released so as not to disturb mother earth.  

Provides spine support and alignment when meditating and during pranayama practice. Buckwheat hull fill adjusts to body contours. For leg and knee support and comfort, pair with a chattra zabuton. So lovely you won’t want to put your chattra meditation cushions away.

Pigment printed in blue-gray-white; detailed with a chenille flower on top and embroidered sides.   Finished with a hand-crafted tassel. 100% cotton zafu cover hand-crafted in India; integrated handle; lined with 100% cotton liner; hand-filled in the USA with US grown buckwheat hulls.  Orange detailing: learn about the meaning of orange in Hindu, Buddhist and Sikh faiths.  Divine in any home practice or studio interior.
