This round zafu meditation cushion has a heathered chenille cover in turquoise blue and black, with the phrase "Be Here Now" embroidered in flowing script across the top. The words are a contemplative instruction to meet the present breath. Set it in a meditation corner or on a yoga mat for seated practice, breathwork, or floor sitting.

Meaning & Intention

Be here now is one of the simplest instructions in any contemplative tradition: stop rehearsing the past, stop rehearsing the future, and meet this exact breath.

Embroidering the phrase directly onto a meditation seat means the words are already at work the moment you lower yourself onto it, before a single mantra is spoken.

The gently domed shape tilts the pelvis forward so the spine can stack itself vertebra over vertebra. A body that isn't fighting gravity settles faster into stillness.

Turquoise blue, filling the crown, has long been associated with clarity and calm waters — the sky-like mind sitting practice points toward. Black at the base grounds it: rooted below, open above.

Essence & Elements

Intention: Presence, grounding, calm, clarity

Chakra connection: Root chakra (Muladhara) — the grounded seat that presence practice grows from

Ideal for: Seated meditation, breathwork, floor seating, or a home meditation corner

Suggested mantra: Be here now

Questions & Guidance

Does it include a zabuton mat?

No. The zabuton, the flat floor mat often paired with a zafu, is sold separately, so you can add one or use the cushion on its own.

I'm new to seated meditation. How do I sit on it?

Sit toward the front edge so your hips are higher than your knees, letting the legs cross comfortably in front. The forward tilt lets the spine stack without slouching.

Can I use it beyond meditation?

Yes. The same posture support works well for breathwork, gentle floor seating, or as a supportive perch during reading or journaling on the floor.

How do I use the handle?

The side handle lets you move the cushion easily between a sunlit spot for morning sitting and a storage corner afterward, so practice can travel with the day.
