At its simplest, meditation is about training the mind to be present. It dates back to ancient India when yogis discovered and developed the practice alongside yoga and acupressure. All three invite a touch of discomfort and turn your attention inward. And where attention goes, energy flows...

It’s why yogis never meditated on plush cushions. They sat on beds of nails instead.

The nails – or in our case, acu-spikes – activate acupressure points that invoke your inner off switch, all while releasing tension in your largest muscles with correct posture and pure focus.

This makes the Sharpen Your Focus Meditation Cushion the only meditation cushion that respects the origins of the practice, and it’s fully adjustable to meet you where you’re at. Go deeper into your practice with the acupressure pad – or ease off for a softer experience.

As explained by our product lead

Turn peak stillness into peak performance

The world's only spike for sitting

If lying on spikes to relax for the last decade has taught us anything, it’s that something magic happens when we accept a bit of discomfort. Yogis call it tapas – the friction we feel when something’s hard.

When you sit with the feeling you can push through it, and this builds your capacity to deal with stress and hard times. When you practice consistently you grow to love the sensation when tension releases.

That’s right: after a few sessions, this actually feels really good.

This spike is the world’s only that’s designed for sitting. More rounded and spaced-out points make things more suitable for modern bums. It’s designed to trigger just enough “ouch” to create the optimal level of “ahh”.

Organic fill and memory foam

No two days are the same. Your Cushion knows that too. The combination of organic buckwheat fill and memory foam lets you adjust its height so that your back is straight, your core is centred, and you’re completely grounded without any soreness.

Why a Shakti meditation cushion?

Meditation’s connection to acupressure has been around since yogis discovered and developed yoga, meditation, and acupressure together.

Where the former relies on physical movement, the latter two rely on focus and stillness. Like lying on spikes to relax, it’s not meant to be easy. But the secret to wellness is in recognising those moments of initial discomfort – whether in spikey stillness or deep stretch – and pushing up against them. In India, it’s called tapas – the friction we feel when something’s hard.

When you sit with it, that’s when the magic happens. You feel the ouch, and let it go.

Merge action and awareness

While it’s perfect on its own, the Sharpen Your Focus cushion was made to be with its friends. It’s before or after using your Shakti Mat – but even better with the Grounded in Comfort Yoga Mat.
