The ideal posture for meditation has three essential characteristics: the posture is stable, straight and comfortable. Meditation benches are specially designed for kneeling meditation exercises, and are used to adopt a fine posture during meditation. The purpose of a meditation bench is to support the upper body and reduce the weight on the knees, shins and ankles during kneeling meditation.
Natural alignment A free upper body that needs to balance itself, holds the core muscles, trains and strengthens, and reduces the tendency to weaken. A natural alignment also helps to reduce the neck load and prevent muscle strain in the shoulders.
Open sitting angle The specific angle and curve of the seat rotate the hips forward, whereby the part between the upper and lower body will be opened, and reduces harmful compression load on the lower back will.
No numbness Because the body weight is evenly divided, the blood circulation in the legs will be improved and heaviness or swelling decreases due to a static sitting.
Deeper breathing The kneeling sitting position is similar to walking upright, it clears the lungs and upper organs and provides deeper breathing.
Improved concentration Increased oxygen supply and intuitive comfort unconsciously result in improved concentration and concentration ability. Handy is that some benches have hinges so you can fold the meditation bench to a compact size and easily carry. For an even more comfortable and softer seat, a meditation bench can be combined very nicely with a meditation mat or zabuton.
