A warm green meditation cushion with a print of walking elephants – the raised, steady seat and the friendly motif together make the practice corner feel homely.
The elephant motif
In many Asian traditions the elephant is a symbol of wisdom, strength and good fortune; its calm, deliberate presence is held in respect across cultures. On the cushion the walking elephants bring a cheerful yet grounded mood to the space.
Comfortable, adjustable seat
The cushion is filled with buckwheat hulls that mould to the body and give support that is firm yet yielding. The outer cover is cotton with a zip; the inner cover closes with a drawstring. The height can be set to taste: less filling for a lower seat, more for a higher one.
Material and size
It measures about 33 × 13 cm, with elephants on a warm green ground. The raised seat tilts the pelvis forward and helps the spine lengthen naturally.
How to use it
For meditation, breath practice and quiet sitting alike. Its friendly print also makes it a lovely gift, and it fits just as well in a child's room or a reading corner.
Care
The cover can be hand-washed in cold to lukewarm water or machine-washed at 30 °C. Because of the dyeing, the colour may vary a little from piece to piece.
