Meditation Benches
Through the many years of experience and publications of the
physician Jon Kabat-Zinn, meditation has lost its esoteric touch.
It is now highly recognized as an effective means against stress
and an important component of many therapies. Especially in the
time of increasing pressure on people, the positive effect of
regular meditation becomes apparent. It helps to calm down, relax
and is recommended for many diseases, such as widespread
depression.
What do I need for meditation?
For meditation you only need a place of silence or inner
contemplation. This can be outside in the nature, in the yoga class
or at home. The regularity with which this exercise is carried out
is important. For meditation it is best to adopt a seated posture.
Since people in the West are not used to sitting on the ground, a
meditation seat can be very helpful for them. In addition to
meditation cushions, special meditation benches are particularly
suitable.
The advantages of a meditation bench
Meditation benches offer many advantages for meditation. In
contrast to sitting on a chair, the construction of the meditation
bench promotes upright sitting. This straightens the spine,
improves the flow of energy and promotes deep breathing. Everything
facilitates the meditative deepening. The more comfortable or
undisturbed one sits during meditation, the easier it is to
contemplate within. Choosing the right meditation seat is therefore
an important building block for successful meditation.
What to consider when choosing a meditation bench
There are several factors to consider when choosing a meditation
seat. A tall person needs a higher seat than a small person.
Physical limitations such as knee or back problems must be taken
into account. A folding bench is practical if the bank is to travel
or be taken to meditation or yoga classes. After all, every bank is
a question of personal taste and money.
There is a wide selection of meditation benches at
Ongnamo:
- Those who want to take the bank with them are well advised with
collapsible models, such as the meditation bench Comfort Travel,
World Travel or the "i-om" meditation seat. All three can also be
stored at home to save space.
- Upholstered benches such as the "Bali" model or the
award-winning "Shambala" offer high seating comfort. All
upholstered benches are lovingly handcrafted by Clément in Alsace
and offer many exclusive details such as integrated handles or
freedom for the coccyx.
- If you want to use a meditation bench together with
another person, you should choose a height-adjustable model such as
the "Vario" bench. The right height can be set quickly and easily
here.
- Especially comfortable is the meditation seat "Cosmo", where
you can sit comfortably for a long time. It is foldable and is
particularly popular with people with knee problems, as the legs
are not angled here.
