Best Zafu Zabuton Set

The Best Zafu Zabuton set is the Leewadee Meditation Set: Zafu Cushion and Zabuton Mat. Not only is this product durable, but it comes in a variety of designs. The Leewadee set is also extremely comfortable and made with a unique blend of Kapok fibers to add both comfort and durability to it. It’s lovely, but it isn’t easily washable, as the cover doesn’t come off.

After a thorough examination of several Tingsha Bells and Cymbals available online, I’ve found that the Juccini Tingsha Cymbals Tibetan Buddhist Lucky Symbol Embossed Meditation Yoga Bell Chimes are the best Tingsha Bells available. I’ve chosen these bells due to the overall excellent sound quality, outstanding customer service, the money back guarantee that the company offers, and the rave reviews from customers.

As one starts to meditate more frequently, read more widely about the topic, and pay more attention to meditation-focused media, the phrase “stream entry” may pop up from time to time. While Stream Entry may sound like the name of an obscure early 90’s electronic music track, the phrase actually refers to the reaching the first of four stages of enlightenment in the Pali Buddhist tradition. In order to achieve stream entry, one must see the Dharma clearly and must break the three chains, or fetters, commonly seen to hold people in a realm of delusion.

Sitting in the same position for extended periods of time can be taxing on the body — just ask anyone who works in an office! Meditation and Yoga are no different, and if you’re constantly distracted by discomfort, it can be difficult to find your breath, and to get into the zone. There are many options available for meditation cushions that can help your practice be more comfortable, and it can be difficult to weed through the plethora of offerings to decide on the best meditation bolster.

After looking at several cushions, I have picked the Brentwood Home Crystal Cove Meditation Cushion as the top choice. This cushion provides ample room to sit, and is a great height at 6 inches tall. It is attractive and functional, providing a sturdy yet comfortable place to sit for those long meditation sessions.

Singing Bowls are beautiful instruments, works for art, and objects to bring focus to those doing yoga, meditation, and the like. These bowls are played by running a wooden mallet around the lip of the bowl, producing a resonant, ringing tone that helps calm the mind and bring serenity. After looking at several meditation bowls available, I have found that the Thamelmart 6″ Tibetan-style singing bowl [Amazon Link] is the best singing bowl for many looking for a pure, resonant tone with handmade Nepali quality.

These bowls are made by hand in Nepal of seven metals, and the set includes a pillow and wooden striker wand. They are loud, pure-toned, beautiful, and quite calming. They are an excellent choice for a meditation bowl.
