A. ZAF is a meditation cushion designed to make sitting on the floor more comfortable and to help you focus on your posture and breathing. It can be used not only during meditation but also in your daily "centering time."

A. Yes, it can be used by those who are new to meditation. We recommend starting with a few minutes a day, sitting in a comfortable position.

A. Sit on the cushion with both knees on the ground. Once you are stably seated on your knees and bottom, try to find a position that feels comfortable to you.

A. In principle, it is not designed for use with chairs. However, you can use it while seated by placing it in the hollow of your back, between your shoulder blades, to support your posture.

A. It is expected to help you position your pelvis more easily and improve your sitting posture. However, individual experiences and sensations may vary.

A. ZAF uses kapok, a natural material. It is characterized by its lightness and softness, and each piece is handcrafted by artisans.

*If specifications differ, please check the product page.

A. As this product is handmade from natural materials, there may be slight individual differences in texture and volume. Please enjoy these characteristics of the product.

A. If you are concerned about dirt, please gently clean the product using a method appropriate for its material. For detailed care instructions, please refer to the product page or the enclosed guide.

However, the odor will gradually dissipate if the product is placed in a well-ventilated area. Please understand that this is a characteristic of the material.

A. Yes, of course you can. ZAF is designed to help even those without meditation experience easily start their "sitting practice." Please try starting with just a few minutes, sitting quietly and focusing on your breath.

A. In the beginning, even about 5 minutes a day is sufficient. What's important is to continue without overdoing it, rather than focusing on how long you practice. Once you get used to it, gradually extend the length to what feels comfortable for you.

A. First, sit in a comfortable position and focus on the inflow and outflow of your breath. If distracting thoughts arise, don't try to force them away; simply notice them and gently bring your awareness back to your breath.

A. That's perfectly natural. When you notice your mind wandering, don't try to force the thoughts away. Instead, gently bring your attention back to your breath or physical sensations. That very process of repeatedly doing so is meditation.

A. It doesn't matter whether it's morning or night, as long as it's a time that's easy for you to continue. Many people incorporate it in the morning as a time to clear their minds, and at night as a time to transition from the day.

A. ZAF can be used in various everyday situations, such as during meditation, when you want to regulate your breathing, when you want to change your mood, or when you want to have some quiet time to sit. It can also be used for stretching and training exercises. Video URL:
