Whilst teaching, it became apparent that in order to practice meditation and breathing techniques from a comfortable seated position on the floor (as tradition dictates), it was necessary for most people to have some support to maintain an upright spine.
If we are unable to do this with ease, the full benefit of the breathing practices and meditation cannot be experienced as we will be distracted by discomfort in our body and the effort required to sit upright, basically, without an upright spine the chest and lungs are not open and relaxed.

As modern life means, for most of us, driving cars and sitting on chairs, we have lost the agility to squat down or sit unsupported on the ground with ease.

What can a Mayura Moon Meditation Cushion do for me?
With all this in mind, what has been developed and finally evolved is a crescent moon-shaped cushion to alleviate this problem which enables remarkably effortless good posture for the seated practices.
The cushion is precision-cut from a base of firm foam and a top layer of “memory foam” (that moulds to the shape of your body), to give both support and comfort. Each cushion comes with a removable, zipped cover in various colours.

The cushion is shaped like a crescent moon and sloped like a wedge of cheese, this tilts the pelvis forward and allows the hips and pelvis to be free from tension. From a cross-legged position this then encourages the shins and knees to drop towards the floor, creating a stable base and an easily maintainable upright spine. The shoulders can then remain relaxed, the chest and lungs open and free from tension in order to gain optimum reward from your practice.
The curve at the front of the cushion is designed to accommodate the heels, as flexibility increases it becomes possible to draw the heels closer in towards the groin and place them at two pressure points that may enhance meditation and stimulate the rising of Kundalini energy that leads towards enlightenment.
