At the beginning of the year, I decided to meditate once a day day, every day, for all 365 days of 2021. I had never meditated consistently before, so let’s just say the learning curve was steep. One thing I quickly realized is that sitting on the ground for 10 to 20 minutes at a time is less than ideally comfortable, and that it gets tough to let go of thoughts and distractions with both feet falling asleep and tingling like pin cushions.

Until that point, I’d been sitting on throw pillows or just on my regular carpet, and found it all kinds of uncomfortable for not only my feet, but my butt and hips as well. It was fine last year, when I was meditating once or twice a week at most, but I knew I’d have to find a way to make meditation more comfortable if I wanted to do it every day. So when I got the chance to try out the Sedona Crescent Meditation Cushion ($25) from Retrospec, I said “yes” and “please.” I’ve used it for almost every morning meditation over the last 9 months, and it’s made my routine distinctly more comfortable and relaxing.
