Equipment Pick: Halfmoon Om Zafu Meditation cushion

I'm quite good at sitting in a crossed legged posture on the ground, on a sofa, in a office chair, as that has been my preference since childhood. I was amazed at how great I felt sitting on a Halfmoon Om Zafu meditation cushion. The filling of buckwheat hulls adjusts to your body weight, so I feel really light and can comfortably sit in meditation for longer periods of time. For those that have difficulty sitting in a crossed legged position, one of the higher meditation cushions works well to make the posture more comfortable.

Immune Booster: Echinacea Tea

Echinacea tea is an immune booster I like to have whenever I start to feel a little run down and I take it with me on some trips to prevent colds. Yogi echinacea tea is one that I have regularly:

I find this tea helpful to fend off colds, as the act of taking time to drink tea starts the process of slowing down and giving the body a break so it can fight infection.

Maison Orphee and Grace Virgin Coconut Oil

 Coconut Oil has many health benefits. The medium chain fatty acids in coconut oil are a healthy fat that aids in the absorption of nutrients. It can also be used topically on the skin as a moisturizer and to help speed up the healing of the skin, as it provides nourishment. Maison Orphee Organic Virgin Coconut Oil and Grace Virgin Coconut Oil are two brands of coconut oil that we consistently like to use.
