The Zabuton

The Zabuton
A Japanese floor cushion...
multi-functional in that it can be used wherever
a little cushion is needed.
Today it is most often used in meditation
A time of quiet reflection
to think inward without outside distractions.
Foot, knee, or ankle pain
can distract from your experience
and you will not receive the full benefit
of your practice.
The Zabuton and The Zafu
Paired together...
working together.
The Zafu assists in pelvic alignment,
while The Zabuton gently cushions the joints.
Consider creating a meditation corner in your home
A place to go to reflect and calm the senses.
An alternative to "time out"
Call it "time in"
A place to focus inward and let the physical
world pass.
A Word about the materials...
As always Old Maid New!
Too cool to be old?
Bingo.
My big sis had some Amy Butler scraps (that she
was going to scrap) she thought of me.
Thanks Tina!
I put them to work in that One-of-a-Kind Yoga Strap.
The Zafu and Zabuton
both constructed from Old Objects Found
and given a new and beautiful
purpose.
Additionally, (if you've read this far)
The Zabuton contains a crafted futon
beneath made from salvaged cotton
blankets and/or towels
to give it a sturdy cush that won't
break down. Available at Harmony in Life Sylvania, Ohio
Create your little corner of peace.

  1. Those mats look like they really belong in your dining room! Too cool! I think Duders and the dogs would fight to sit on them, though. Maybe they belong in my house? ha ha
