1 take a seat. The best meditation cushions offer back support that corrects your posture. If you re a serious meditator you need a good meditation seat to help you to meditate in the correct sitting posture.

It s up to you whether you want to make the meditation mat lower to the ground or higher up. 2 set a time limit. 4 cut out 2 circles that are 11 13 in 28 33 cm in diameter from the fabric. Set a timer use a mindfulness bell app or turn on a guided meditation.
