Yoga Meditation Stool

I use a Yoga or Meditation stool for daily meditation. I prefer it to a meditation cushion.

When I used to meditate simply by sitting on a carpet in the floor I felt sleepy and lethargic. I thought that my meditation techniques were not right. But it took some months for me to find out that the problem was not with the meditation technique. It was because I was not able to maintain the correct posture during meditation.

Even if I sometimes got the posture right, I was not able to maintain it for long. This problem was completely solved by using a Yoga Meditation stool purchased from ebay.

Every one has their own comfortable meditation postures. My choice of meditation posture is perfectly aided by using this stool. I can sit with my back perfectly straight. This is important because the spinal cord has to be straight to meditate deeply. Further, the posture can be maintained for long periods with total relaxation.

The lethargy and problems I had before due to my bad posture went completely. I was able to relax more and more and go into the depths of meditation. I am now not bothered by the physical problems at all.

The stool cost me only $21.69. But its benefits are huge. The only drawback I find in this product is that it is made of softwood and will mark quite easily. But that affects the appearance only and is negligible when compared to the tremendous benefits I received.
