A natural floor cushion with the Tree of Life on its top – the raised, steady seat and the image of spreading branches together open the quiet space of practice.
The Tree of Life symbol
The Tree of Life is an ancient motif of spreading branches and roots that appears across the mythology and art of many cultures. Tradition holds it as a symbol of life, growth and the connection between generations – an image of strength and deep roots. On the cushion it becomes a quiet reminder of being grounded.
OCS-certified organic cotton, buckwheat filling
The cushion is made from OCS 100 certified organic cotton: the dyed outer cover is GOTS-certified organic cotton with a zip at the bottom, and the undyed inner cover closes with a drawstring. The filling is high-quality natural buckwheat hulls that mould to the body and give a seat that is firm yet yielding. The height can be adjusted to taste: less filling for a lower seat, more for a higher one.
How to use it
For meditation, breath practice and quiet sitting. It belongs in a home corner or a studio, and makes a lovely gift for those who practise. It measures about 33 × 17 cm.
Care
We recommend hand washing the cover in lukewarm water; machine washing at 30 °C is also possible. Because of the natural dyeing the shade may vary slightly from piece to piece, and the natural material makes each one a little unique.
