[Image ID: Comic with 24 panels. 

Panel 1: black image with a painting of a distant, glowing light with minor spacial distortion under it, there is text under the image that reads “While I sit in a silent abyss, gazing upon a stolen light, I ponder the other” 

Panel 2: a drawing of a dark creature with pink eyes looking at its reflection is in the corner of the image, next to it is a looping complex pattern of carrying colors and designs, on the opposite corner there is another pattern, this one is more like swirls and circles. There is text on the image that reads “Dimensions separate from my own, occupied by gods and creatures of great splendor” 

Panel 3: An image separated into 3 panels, the first panel depicts a desert, the second a forest, and the third a big wave, the images towards the bottom have extreme color distortion. The text reads “Deserts that never darken, forests that never burn, and seas that never calm” 

Panel 4: A London neighborhood seen from a high up view, its black and white and looks painted. A woman with black, starry skin and bright neon pink hair looms above the buildings. The text reads “A colorful puppeteer playing with a greyscale town” 

Panel 5: A stylized painting of a woman depicted as a white silouette shaking hands with a human sized praying mantis. In the background there are humans and other mantises watching. Theres a stylized golden ring behind their handshake meant to portray a sense of divinity/prosperity. The text reads “A species that has accomplished all their goals yet never stops their journey” 

Panel 6: A stylized, monochromatic painting of two people, the woman is stabbing the man, both their eyes glow and bleed gold. There is a transparent white swirling pattern going from the woman’s eyes to the man’s. The text reads “One lone entity using her immortality to play every part” 

Panel 7: A heavily distorted image depicting a human-like creature with a crown, she has adoring fans in the background. Next to her is a silouette of an individual with a ghost like apparition circling them. Finally, next to him there is a complex pattern with saturated/contrasting colors. The whole image is a blend of white, neon magenta, purple, royal blue and black, the background is a dark purple. The text reads “ the royalty, the invisible, the indiscernible” 

Panel 8: Black background, on the bottom right there are a bunch of simplistic painted eyes with flowing lines looping around them and circles of various colors dotted in between the lines. The text reads “I watch them, their creation, their destruction, their glorious reign” 

Panel 9: A black background. There are 3 drawings of a woman with a head covering. They are simple white outlines lined up next to each other. The first woman on the far left is looking towards us like she’s just noticed us behind her. The second woman in the middle is only slightly glancing at us. The third woman on the right is turned away from us completely. The text reads “Only a few look back, some linger then turn away, and some choose not to look at all” 

Panel 10: Black background with white text that reads “But some reach out” 

Panel 11: Black background, a black hand is reaching down towards the text, it is only visible because of the swirling pattern on its skin which helps outline it. There is a glowing golden circle behind it which also helps illuminate it. The text its reaching towards reads “hands grasping upon shallow air, pleading for something to meet their palms and pull them from their reality” / 

Panel 12: A crude drawing looking down on someones jet black hands, there are thin white lines and stars on their skin. This drawing is on top of a dark grey background, there’s a black bar beneath the drawing with white text that reads “But my hands cannot aid, only destroy” 

Panel 13: An image with multiple images overlaid over one another, its a mess of various colors and barely discernible shapes. There is text over it that almost blends into it reading “Why do they reach out? Is their own reality too unbearable? Why do they seek refuge in my abyss?” 

Panel 14: Black background, with white text that starts with a pause then reads “Or do they wish to pull me in?” 

Panel 15: A vivid simplistic drawing of a jet black creature with white hair and pink eyes. The drawing has heavy image distortion around the edges. Behind it there’s a similarly distorted blend of colors and music notes with white text over it that reads “Sing out to me with songs of melancholy” 

Panel 16: A black background. Theres a speech bubble but the dialogue is just a light colored jumbled mess of swirling lines and circles. The patterns look like they’re bleeding out of the speech bubble. There is white text next to it that reads “Plead with words of desperation” 

Panel 17: Black background with white text that reads “To gain my favor? To win my trust?” 

Panel 18: Another simple drawing of a creature with white hair and pink eyes, but its skin blends into the background. There is minor color distortion around it. There is text embedded into its skull reading “Like parasites they burrow into my mind, and tempt my action” 

Panel 19: Black background with white text that reads “Did something break their reality or did they break their own” 

Panel 20: A giant mess of complex patterns, shapes, lines, and tiny details. The pattern is mirrored on each side of the image, overlaid on a black background. There is white text in the center of the image reading “Do they now seek to pull me in? To feast upon me? To extend their dying light? So desperate to feed that they risk desolation from my hands”

Panel 21: Black image 

Panel 22: Black image 

Panel 23: Black image with white text that reads “Their hands reach out and urge me to take them”

Aren't they so friggin cute??!!

[prof-peach]

:0 I've never seen the other Pokemon on your team, what are they like?

My perma-team is a vulpix, Valka, a 20+ year old heavy hitter, despite her small stature. She was my very first pokemon, through gritted teeth we bonded, and now I fondly refer to her as my shadow. I go no where without her. She puts everyone who resides on the island in their place with unnerving strength. like literally any comic she's somewhere in the background, if not underfoot. Not hard to find more art of her, she is quite menacing.

Then we have Booker, Teddiursa, silly old grumpy bear. He had a hard time with poachers when he was real young, and imprinted on me during my ranger days many years ago now. He doesn't want to evolve, wears an everstone bead on his tail. He's partially blind on one side but we hiked to a colony of Machop and trained with them in the mountains for months to help him regain balance and confidence! He seems grouchy but is actually sweet.

Then we got Minerva, a shiny lopunny i nabbed at an airport when i was quite young, from a bad breeder. she was a scabby weedy flea infested runt when we first met, hardly the pink colour you'd usually expect from her type. She is fierce and fearless, will jump head first into anything with confidence and style. Loves to dress up, steals a lot of my nicer clothes. Will smash you into bits if you cross her, a total diva and i'd change nothing.

you've no doubt recently noticed the posts about Boadicea, a CharizardXGarchomp hybrid who's the baby of the group. Needy, clingy, total idiot, lap pokemon despite her ridiculous size. Very fast mount for flying.

For ground travel i use a dear Stantler called Donut, he's rather docile if you're not a problem to his "herd", with a neck so thick and strong you can hold onto his antlers and be lifted with ease. He's very chill.

We got a delivery Noctowl whos been around the block with me a few times too, lil guys really friendly, no real name for him, we all just call him 'Fancy pants' or 'dude'. hes got fancy eyebrows.

Of course not forgetting Quintin, a Scizor, my first egg hatch ever, been with me since i was a real youngster, a gentle soft sweet boy with a heart of gold, and collectively about 4 braincells. We all adore him.

then theres the house pokemon, each of these has blurb in the blog somewhere, they're all rather naughty... except Bob and Rosco. They're a delight.

uhhh lets see, this rat is always under my feet.

And then theres the pokemon who are out and about. the team mates who do jobs around the island, usually maintaining the peace.

Theres also 3 Bronzong that hang about the island,

Some notable partners from my various travels and adventures would iniclude

Dutch - Porygon-Z (helps around the lab, very loving, bit mad)

Typhlosion - Propane (odd markings, a spicy meatball)

Grimm - Steelix (real docile, very into scratches)

Riot - Lycanroc/midnight (Fiery, naughty, likes to thrash)

Suneater - Golisopod (shy, kind and very smart, loves to be alone)

Jewel - Ribombee (mean tempered! fussy)

Wotsit - Vikavolt (real clingy and super curious, to a fault)

Hemlock - Heracross - (a total babe, really protective and jolly)

Potato - -Bulbasaur (strict but fair, very old)

Murdoc - Crobat (timid in the light, proud of his speed)

Sugar - Tyranitar (Soft baby lady, total gentle giant)

Summer - Meganium (variant lady, gentle, calming aura, healer)

Tobi - Dreadnaw (rare water type for me, he's always sleeping)

Moss - Stonjourner (covered in moss, aptitude for grass attacks)

Zeplin - Aerodactyl (old battle maiden, now retired to the mountains)

Madam - Eldegoss - (will try to poison you, shiny, total nuisance)

I must admit, i often am one to release pokemon back to the wild, but the ones mentioned here are pokemon who have had the option to leave, and have chosen to stick around (apart from Madam who is a liability if left to go free), at least for now. We've been on many adventures together, and now work side by side managing the island. I have yet to draw them all but theres at least some visuals here for you. This also doesn't include pokemon who are residents at the lab and its facilities, who like our company but are not technically registered to myself or any of the staff. We breed all kinds of grass types, and they're all pretty friendly give or take, so if we have a certain job that needs more hands, we can call upon the residents who suit the work. Many of them have been through treatment or rehab with us, and we've built up a relationship with them, enough to work well together.

bonus 2, post chapter 4

first - previous - next

[image  description: an sac webcomic page. 5 pages styled in a manner similar to a medical brochure titled “navigating your new abilities, what does this mean for me?”. the brochure is about superpowers, what the are, side effects and health risks, and job oppurtunities. the brochure has white and light blue for the main colours, with a dark purple accent. page 1: mostly showing a girl transforming, with the title listed above, with smaller text reading “created and supported by the paragon institute for superheroism.” the girl is a younger white woman who has a light purple colour scheme, long straight hair and bangs, a crop top, and elbow pads. shes shown from the waist up, half her body and an arm cut out of the photo. her transformation takes the form of dripping black-purple goop spreading, with a starry texture. a similar texture takes up the image background.

page 2: title: what are superpowers?. “Superpower is a term used for superpowered abilities that go beyond the natural abilities and conventional laws of reality. There are little limits to the potential types of abilities that a super powered person may possess.

It is currently unknown what causes superpowered abilities. Despite many theories, the only known way to guarantee superpowers is to inherit them from a parent.

London has the highest percentage of superpowered people in the entire world, in addition to having 42% of all supers in the united kingdom”

next to this text is a grinning woman in pink winking while posing with one hand on her hip, and the other in a fist held up. the woman has long wavy pale pink hair, light brown skin, many freckles, and hot pink eyes. her outfit is a pink dress and gloves, pale pink tattered cape, and a hot pink long sleeved undershirt.

“how do i use and control my abilities? Superpowered people will typically have an innate sense for how to transform and use their abilities,but like any skill it will take time and effort to fully control their abilities.

In some rare cases, a superpowered person may lack control over their powers to the extent where it can cause harm to those around them.

This is most common in those who have inherited their abilities. In these cases the P.I.S offers programs to assist these people in learning control with 24/7 care and supervision. If you or someone you know requires these programs, please call our number or otherwise contact us via our website.

Due to the range of superpowered abilities, there is no one-size-fits-all method of developing control, however, the P.I.S do offer training services, of which you can read more about atwww.pis.uk/pis-services/training

next to this is a teenage superhero, an androgynous boy with a grey colour scheme, smiling slightly, his arm turning into smoke. he has light grey hair and eyes, brown skin and a dark grey bodysuit. he has a grey poncho/cape conbo and gloves, both of which are lined with light grey fleece or fur. his outfit looks as if is was meant for cold weather.

page 3: what are some other symptoms of superpowered abilities? Superpowers are also accompanied by complete transformations, including bodily and outfit transformations. Body transformations will include a change of eye and hair colour, but can also include a wide variety of changes, commonly including changes to eyes, ears, and hands, animal-like features, changes in shape, colour, additional limbs and features, and more.

below that is 5 examples, inside circles with a white border: a close up of an eye, all blue including sclera, the pupil is pale and slit like a cat. next is a close up of a green haired braid. next if also from behind, a red haired person with red wings, the longest feathers of which are white. while the last three arent of any known character, the latter two are wraith, shown from behind, only showing hair and a cape, and part of an arm, and quartz, a close up of his elf-like ear.

Outfit transformations are even more varied in appearance, and will typically be in various shades of the persons 'main' colour. It is common for the outfit to contain additional accessories, tools, and weapons. Electronic devices created from these transformations do not need recharging and if using internet or data, will use the strongest available signal to do so. It is illegal to create, use, or otherwise have in the open, a weapon in public without a registered superhero licence.

The act of transformation will vary from person to person, but will usually involve a bright light, and is likely to reflect the user's powers of their effects. In the case of those inheriting their abilities, they will inherit body traits and transformations from any and all superpowered ancestors.

The effects of a transformation will likely change through a superpowered person's lifetime. A change will usually happen after a dramatic change in the person's personality, ideals, traumatic incident, or other life development, although a change is not guaranteed, and will rarely occur without these.

The first transformation will usually be the simplest aesthetically both in outfit and body, with simple details, but will usually get more complicated, and it's likely to gain more body transformations as more changes happen. A superpowered person may experience 1-2 changes every 10 years.

Objects and outfits created via transformation will dissipate upon detransformation, regardless of if it is removed from the person. The same goes for additional limbs and features that do not exist on the original body, although these injuries are permanent, unlike clothes and objects which will reform upon transformation.

page 4: other known possibilities of transformations:

- Partial changes to a transformation may occur in the event of permanent injury, such as gaining a prosthetic after losing a limb, but nothing else in the outfit changes.

-It is possible for a transformation's change to be affected by other superpowered persons. This is commonly shown by similarities in outfit transformations, as elements of the superpowered persons apperance change to resemble each other.

-Changes in colour are extremely rare and usually only occur in small aspects

other changes and risks: Some changes are permanent and may not disappear when a superpowered person detransforms.

-Reproductive changes: Any biological offspring will have the exact same powers as the parent. However, pregnancy will be risky, and have a high rate of failure, especially if the mother does not have any superpowered abilities.

-Dreams: While there is no known reason for this occurrence, supers will rarely be able to remember their dreams, except those with dream related abilities or legacy supers. However, despite this the people in question will usually be experiencing nightmares, and superpowered people are at high risk for night terrors and sleep terror disorder.

-A superpowered person's body will adapt to their powers and it is extremely unlikely for one to be harmed by their own power, but this may result in permanent changes that may cause inconvenience in daily life. If this is something you or a loved one experience, please inform your GP

-Overuse of powers: While powers appear to be adapted to not cause harm to the user, overuse of powers can result in a large amount of pain and possible long term damage

below that is an image of two people, on looking like a doctor, a pale man with dull brown hair and dull green eyes, dressed as a doctor and smiling with a clipboard, looking at a person shown from  behind, with long mint hair.

page 5: what does this mean for me?

Discovering and controlling your abilities is often the first step one may take inbecoming a superhero. Here at the P.I.S we offer many pathways to doing so,including all required training, courses, and experiences.

We also acknowledge that some super powered people do not seek to become asuperhero, but the P.I.S still has a place for them! We offer many career pathsand courses for almost any job and  our career advisors can match up the perfectpower-job combinations to give you a leg up if you are interested in using yourabilities in your career.  For more information, visit jobs.pis.uk

Use of powers in a job, or to otherwise earn money using superpowered abilities,without a license is a serious offence that can result in fines starting from £5000,and a potential ban from working in that field.

below is the superhero arrow, grinning at a woman in a plain looking suit. he has one hand on his hip and the other is shaking hands with the woman. the women has red hair and eyes, and pointy red nails.

Due to the nature of superpowered abilities, it is important to gettailored advice and support for affected individuals.For more information call us at our support helpline at 020 7946 0xxx. Both our lines are open from 8:30am-10pm mon-fri and 9:30am-9pm sat.You can also visit our website for more resources at pis.uk/resources. end id]

Best Mediation Cushion in 2019 [Review of Zabuton or Zafu Pillows]

How do I know if I need a meditation cushion? And if so, what’s the best meditation cushion for me? Is there a cushion that can help me with my meditation posture, and if so, what is it?

I am going to try out 12 different cushions for my meditation practice and let you know which one works best for me. You might be able to determine which type of cushion you’ll need, too.

We all have different body types and need support in different areas, so while I might like one best, you might find another one that suits your personal needs better.

COMPARISON TABLE – Best Mediation Cushion in 2019

Searching for the Best Meditation Cushion in 2019

After tons of research (and a lot of sitting), I have narrowed my findings down to the top 12 best meditation cushions in 2019. I’ll answer all your questions along the way. Let’s get down to the nitty gritty.

1. Gaiam Zafu Cushion

What I love about the Gaiam Zafu Cushion is that it’s both organic and comfortable. Another great thing about it is I can adjust the cushion if I want it more or less firm, and it’s really easy to wash. I’ve had cushions that had no way of removing the cover, or it was very difficult to do so, and this one removes very easily.

The Zafu comes in black, purple, or teal, and the filling is organic buckwheat hull. It helps support your posture and relieves pressure on the knees, ankles, and back.

Pros

It has a handle, so it’s easy to carry

Easy to wash

Firmness is adjustable

Made of organic buckwheat

Relieves pressure on knees, ankles, and back

Cons

It’s a bit heavy, weighing about 5 ½ pounds

Comes in just 3 colors

2. Waterglider International Zafu Yoga Cushion

The Watercolor International Zafu Cushion is great for sitting during lengthy meditations. It’s also made with the buckwheat hulls, which feels soft and similar to a bean bag. This particular cushion is sturdy and lasts a long time.

Pros

Ethically sourced from farmers in the USA

Great for soundwave therapy

Durable

Comfortable: firm enough to keep you off the ground, and soft enough to support your joints

Cons

Not machine washable

Some report seams coming apart with prolonged usage

Check today’s price

3. REEHUT Zafu Yoga Cushion

I really like this meditation cushion because it’s designed for all styles and meditation postures for yoga. I keep it in my “yoga corner,” where I can sit and listen to binaural beats. It really helps me reset myself and feel more refreshed during the day.

If you are flexible, you can order the smaller sizes at 4.5” height; if you need extra support, it’s best to go for the 6” height.

Pros

Cover is easy to remove and machine washable

Great for soundwave therapy and brainwave entertainment

Very comfortable

Variety of sizes available

Cons

Construction can be an issue with prolonged usage

Colors may vary slightly from the picture

Check today’s price

4. Peace Yoga Zafu Cushion

The Peace Yoga Zafu cushion is very beautifully designed, and has a phenomenal balance of pliability and firmness. As a bonus, this cushion can double as a yoga block, which makes it really helpful for stretching. That’s a really great way to save on yoga accessories.

Pros

Beautiful Designs

Dual purpose as a yoga block

Machine washable

Cons

The zipper can become an issue with prolonged usage

Check today’s price

5. Yoga Accessories Round Zafu Cushion for Meditation

If color is your thing, I’d go with the Yoga Accessories Round Zafu cushion. There are 18 different designs, all of which are very unique. It’s also listed at a lower price point, which can be helpful for many people.

Pros

Many varieties of colors and designs

Priced lower

Choice between silk or cotton for outer layer

Choice between round or crescent shape

Cons

Height can shrink over prolonged use

Is too firm for some

Check today’s price

6. Bean Products Zafu and Zabuton Meditation cushion Set

The Zafu and Zabuton meditation cushion set is just what you need to get into the ideal position for meditation. The combination of the small Zafu cushion and the larger Zabuton mat gives you all the space and support for maximum relaxation.

You can mix and match the Zafu and Zabuton meditation set however you like. There’s a broad range of colors to choose from, including black, white, navy, green, purple, burgundy, and many shades between.

The Zafu cushion comes in 14” and 18” sizes. Since the cushions are not sewn together, you can use either individually or as a set.

For an all-in-one solution, the Zafu and Zabuton Meditation cushion set is one of the best mediation cushion options around.

Pros

Two pieces for use separately or in conjunction

Wide range of colors

Comfortable bean filling that can be replaced when necessary

Great customization options

Cons

Difficult, if not impossible, to wash

Zabuton cushion can be firm, which may not suit some people

Check today’s price

7. Gaiam Meditation Cushion Zabuton

The Gaiam Zabuton meditation cushion is an affordable way to get started. Measuring 36”Lx24”Wx4” thick, it comes in three colors — black, purple, and teal.

This meditation cushion is light, comfortable, and properly aligned. It provides correct support for your knees, ankles and back, and can be combined with a Zafu cushion for maximum effect.

The body forming cotton baffing can be easily removed to wash the outer casing. Simply unzip, unpack, and throw the casing in the washing machine.

Pros

Comfortable body-forming cotton filling

Provides good support

Affordable entry-level Zabuton cushion

Cons

You might need to shell out extra for a Zafu cushion

Cotton filling can get lumpy and deflated after repeated use

Check today’s price

8. Zenjara Zafu Yoga Meditation Cushion

The Zenjara Zafu meditation cushion is an excellent option for those who don’t need a Zabuton — or who have one and want a Zafu for extra support.

Zenjara’s meditation cushion offering comes in three colors — blush pink, cloud grey, and sea green. It’s approximately 13” in diameter, with adjustable height.

The cushion contains an inner cushion stuffed with buckwheat. By removing filling from the inner cushion, you can adjust the height and firmness of the Zafu meditation cushion to suit your needs.

Unlike many meditation cushions, Zenjara has sewn an attractive, relaxing design into the cushion to add style to your meditation sessions.

Pros

Adjustable sizing to suit your needs

Textured cushion for style and comfort

Convenient carry handle

Emptying and refilling the inner bag can be messy

9. Tibetan Singing Bowl Set with Meditation Cushion

Nothing quite sets the mood like a traditional Tibetan singing bowl. The soothing tones are perfect for cutting out distractions and focusing on finding your peace.

This set comes with the bowl, dual surface mallet, and silk resting cushion. You can choose between black, brown, white and bronze colors. Each colored bowl comes with a different style of cushion to match.

The included mallet allows for hard strikes or softer ringing. To make the bowl sing, simple rub the mallet around the outer lip of the bowl. Faster turns produce higher tones, while slower circles produce lower tones.

Pros

Sets the mood for relaxation and meditation

Makes a beautiful decorative piece when not in use

Four different designs

Cons

Some buyers have had issues getting their bowls to “sing”

Check today’s price

10. Zafuko Yoga, Meditation, Kundalini and Pilates Cushion

If round Zafu cushions aren’t your style, this Zafuko meditation cushion might be what you’re after. Swapping the usual cylindrical shape for a box rectangle, the Zafuko Zafu pillow is a versatile tool to have.

Measuring 14″ x 7″ x 5, the Zafuko is compact and weighs just 1.2 pounds. I found it to be just as useful as a cushion as it as a block, pillow, or even a bolster. While it didn’t provide any relief for knees, it was simple enough to choose a sitting position to work around it.

The Zafuko meditation cushion comes in a wide variety of colors and styles, such as black and red, cherry peach, deep blue sea, green and violet, and much more.

This cushion is very eco-friendly, filled with 100% Kapok. Kapok is also known as silk cotton or Java cotton — a hygienic, vegan, hypoallergenic material that provides maximum support and comfort.

Pros

Small and easy to carry

Versatile

Comes in a wide range of attractive colors and styles

Cons

Filling can’t be removed for washing

May limit some available poses if used on its own with sore knees

Check today’s price

11. Leewadee Meditation Set: Zafu Cushion, Zabuton Mat

Leewadee’s meditation set is another 2-in-1 deal: both a Zafu cushion and Zabuton mat in one package, which can be used separately or together.

I found the double sets to be the best meditation cushion options for me, as it creates a harmonious esthetic for me to relax in. This set come in a variety of colors, such as orange, black, and blue. My personal choice was the Sky Blue.

This set does leave out some features you can find when buying items individually, though — like adjustable heights and firmness. Some may find the set a bit too firm for their backs for daily use.

Pros

Attractive, unified designs

Convenient all-in-one set

Provides great support

Cons

May be too firm for regular use for some people

Some smaller users may find the Zafu cushion too high

Check today’s price

12. DharmaObjects Traditional Tibetan Yoga Meditation Cushion

Rounding off the list is a traditional Tibetan meditation cushion from DharmaObjects. This Zabuton mat is an affordable, entry-level mat sure to provide much value.

My favorite thing about this mat is that it can fold in half to go from a Zabuton mat to a Zafu cushion depending on your needs. It provides all of the same versatile use of the Zafuko rectangular cushion above, but with the added use of a laid-out mat.

There are many colors and styles available, including black, blue, orange, yellow, purple, and various shades of each.

Pros

Versatile — great for meditation, yoga, or a support block

Lightweight and easy to carry

Attractive styles

Cons

Lacks the all-in-one convenience of sets

Why do I need a meditation cushion?

A meditation cushion is paramount to spinal support. When we meditate, we often “go” to a different place, and we can lose focus on our posture. With the exception of a few types of meditation, zazen included, which train us to focus on the posture throughout the duration of the meditation, it’s really helpful to have some extra support.

If you’re practicing brain entrainment or listening to binaural beats, it’s especially helpful to use a cushion so that your focus is entirely on the meditation itself, and not on your back or knees.

The last thing you want while meditating is an ache that makes you interrupt your meditation, or worse, a numb foot that distracts you until it “comes back to life.”

How do I choose the best meditation cushion?

It’s always important to choose based on your body structure. Some cushions run a little larger or smaller, may have a different type of filling, or added structural differences to stand out from the crowd.

The best question you can ask yourself is how much support you think you’ll need. Some of us do great with a basic cushion with relatively little support, because they are able to sit straighter with just this quality.

Others need a cushion that’s almost in the shape of a chair in order to guarantee the best support. This can be a great option for those who they feel tired often, or for those who are new to meditating.

Check in with yourself and be honest – which shape suits you best?

Which Style Cushion is Best: Zabuton, Buckwheat Hulls, Kapok Fiber, or Zafu?

The Zafu cushions are great for holding postures, however if you need some extra cushion below the knees (or you have cold floors), you’ll want to add in a Zabuton cushion as well.

Zafu cushions aren’t for everyone. If you’ve never meditated using them before, you may find them small and uncomfortable. They aren’t meant as chairs; they’re meant to give extra joint and spinal support. So if you’re going for comfort, try adding on the Zabuton cushion.

Zabuton cushions are larger and square, and most people can sit comfortably on them. Zabuton cushions do not provide elevation like the Zafu cushions do.

Buckwheat hulled cushions are those that are filled with buckwheat. It’s an organic material that can give off a kind of “bean bag” feel, which helps relieve pressure on the joints and is more comfortable for some people. These are less firm than cotton filled cushions.

Kapok fiber is another filling for the Zafu cushions, which give off more of a soft and spongy feeling. It’s similar to cotton and can mold to your body. Some people don’t like the faint smell of the organic material.

Color Meanings

When looking for the best meditation cushion for you, you may want to look at colors. Whether you’re personally drawn to one color or another can say a lot about you.

For example, red can lift you up and generate energy, whereas orange can help bring on healing properties.

Black tends to draw the focus inwards, and violet give a feeling of calmness and balance. Green promotes a balanced feeling while slowing down the mind and breath.

There’s no wrong color to choose when it comes to your meditation cushion. Simply choose which one is best for you!

Frequently Asked Questions about Meditation Pillows

How can I clean my cushion?

While each cushion has different cleaning instructions, many of them have a removable cover.

If it does, you can unzip and remove the cover, turn inside out, and machine wash cold with the gentle cycle. Air dry to prevent shrinkage. As always, please read the cleaning instructions.

How can I remove the smell?

While it’s possible that your cushion will have a light odor, this will fade over time. If you have a cushion that has a washable cover, you can wash that out a few times to speed up the process.

It can also be helpful to air it out outside for a day or two if you’re really sensitive.

Can my kid use a meditation cushion?

Yes! Meditation cushions are great for all ages, and can benefit kids as well!

It helps them retain good posture while sitting, reducing the problems they may create for themselves if they aren’t using one.

Can a meditation cushion be used for other activities as well?

Sure! You can use your meditation when drawing, reading, knitting, watching movies, playing with pets or kids on the floor, or even when eating at a low table.

Is there a height and weight restriction?

While every cushion has a different weight limit, the weight limits are hard to reach.

What about mites or pest?

We carefully selected cushions that have a great reputation. 99.9% of the time, you won’t find any issues with pests or mites.

If they are found, please notify the manufacture and dispose of immediately. You’ll be issued a refund right away.

Can I use my meditation cushion with brain entrainment programs?

Absolutely! Brain entrainment programs are enhanced with cushions as they allow the body to deeply relax while staying in an aligned posture. This reduces aches and pains that generally come with sitting for long spurts of meditation.

Our honest opinion about a Meditation Cushion

When you’re meditating, using cushions is really great, whether you’re taking a yoga class, meditating at home, or even listening to binaural beats in your meditation corner. I use mine daily and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

I don’t have to focus on holding my posture a certain way, or making sure my feet, knees, and hips are in alignment because the cushion does it for me. I can focus only on the meditation without any distractions.

I definitely recommend having at least one cushion to meditate on.

Facebook Ad Design

Have you been searching for the best Facebook ad designs to improve your ROI? Well, now you’ve found it.

Here you’ll find a variety of Facebook ad design hacks and pro tips to improve not only the quality of your Facebook ads but also the rate of conversion and CTRs.

Note: This article applies specifically to Facebook ads, read this if you’re searching for Instagram Ad ideas.

  The Secret to Effective Ad Design

Having managed a variety of Facebook Ad campaigns for clients, there’s a common trend they typically face: why aren’t my ads performing, what am I doing wrong?

Facebook advertising can be tough. And, with each passing update, it’s only going to get tougher.

If you’ve been struggling to develop a successful ad campaign, there’s two fundamental tricks that will help you succeed:

  1. Incredible Design.

Facebook is a busy platform. Not only are users engaging with friends, family and the pages they follow but they are also getting bombarded by advertisements coming in from all directions.

If you want to stand out and get your ads noticed on Facebook, it all starts with some incredible ad designs.

2. Targeting Your Audience.

It would be a complete waste of time and money if you created a Facebook Ad campaign without understanding your target audience.

With Facebook, you have control over quite a few advanced targeting features which allows you to hone in and laser target your ideal customer.

Ideally, you want to be displaying your ads specifically to active audiences that won’t just click on it but also sign up, subscribe, download, or buy your promotion.

  Design Tip #1: Measure & Test Multiple Designs

There’s never a “one-size-fits-all” when it comes to Facebook advertising. You may have hired an incredible designer or crafted something yourself, but you should always test various ad designs and targeting metrics to see which variations perform the best.

Whenever you start creating your ad campaigns, take some extra time to create 4 to 6 additional Facebook Ad designs (i.e. both the visual and written) and test each one. Consider creating pairs of images with varying copy, that would be 2 or 3 images combined with 2 or 3 sets of text.

The result? You’ll have 4 to 6 ad designs running which can be tested to see which combination leads to the best results.

Take a look at an example from us at Voy Media:

Create great ads and test each variation

In these Facebook ad examples, you can see we use the exact same copy while testing which different image designs to see which has higher performance and CTR.

Remember, test everything. You never know which creative idea is going to result in a winning advertisement.

  Design Tip #2: Create Colorful Ads

As people are browsing through their Facebook feeds, how can you grab their attention? Color.

Designing colorful ads that pop off the page is the first step toward improving your conversions.

Take a look at this Facebook ad design by moo.com:

Use fresh and exciting colors to capture their attention

Research from Emerald Insight analyzed the effectiveness of colors in marketing. They discovered two key things which you should incorporate into your Facebook ad campaigns:

People make up their minds within 90 seconds of their initial interactions with you or your products.

62‐90% decisions are assessed based on colors alone.

Depending on the type of color you use, you can also influence all kinds of reactions. For example, colors can increase or decrease appetite, enhance mood, calm down customers, and, reduce the perception of waiting time.

  Design Tip #3: Incorporate the Influence of Color

Color psychology is a real research subject which has had many marketers scrambling to include in their ad designs.

To give you a quick understanding of color and it’s influence online, here’s some of the associated effects colors can have:

Colors can be associated with mood:

Blue creates calm

Red inspires aggression

Yellow promotes happiness

Colors are associated with genders:

Boys wear blue

Girls wear pink

Colors are associated with different meanings:

Investors see green and think money

Farmers see green and think vegetables

Colors are associated with cultural influences:

Western cultures believe blue is a cool and calming color

Eastern cultures believe blue is a sinister and evil color

Color has an incredible impact on decisions making  –  (Image Source)

The main point is, when you are selecting colors for your Facebook ad designs, consider analyzing your target audience and deciding on which colors would be the most appealing. While trends and beliefs may be in constant change, some colors will always be connected to certain thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.

You can find more comprehensive research on color psychology here.

  Design Tip #4: Create Contrasting Ads

You don’t always have to fill your ads with color and image. Instead, try to utilize the power of contrast with a white background.

This ad by Groupon is a great example of using a plain white background and a sharp green color to attract attention.

Ads like this one really stand out

Be creative with your ad designs by using a white background to add some contrast. Also, don’t forget to test the performance of these ads next to another add using full colors and images.

  Design Tip #5: Upload the Right Size

Don’t design an ad that gets cropped and destroyed when you upload it to Facebook. The standard size for Facebook ads is: 1200 x 628 pixels.

Also, try to use the highest quality images possible. If you’re uploading fuzzy images with a low-resolution, you probably won’t get the results you could have achieved with a high-resolution image.

If you’re struggling with keeping your ads consistent in quality, try using Canva to design fresh and exciting ads. You can set up a template that produces the perfect size each and everytime.

    Designing customer converting Facebook ads is going to be a journey of trial and error. If you want to include some effective ad ideas into your next campaign, check out these Facebook ad templates.

Ros Comes In 40s Now, So Get Ready To Black Out In Broad Daylight

If you thought that drinking 40s was left to your high school partying days (you know, before your metabolism went to shit), then think again because 40s of ros are now totally a thing, and just in time for summer. A new company called Forty Ounce Wines (very creative naming) has released a new 40s of ros that they claim are organically farmed, spectacular tasting, large format wines. They currently offer two types of wines, Muscadet (a French white) and ros, which is obvi the star of the show. Honestly this opens up so many possibilities for white girls everywhere. Like, is doing Edward 40 Hands going to come back into our lives like its 2005 again? Will you start seeing groups of white girls in Lululemon standing on street corners and pouring out a little bit of ros for the basic bitches weve lost? Only time will tell.

This is obviously going to become a staple of the summer. What better way to walk into a party and establish that you are the HBBIC (head basic bitch in charge) than to have one, dare I say, TWO pink 40s full of sweet pink alcohol? Anyone who sees that and questions your dedication to basic-ness is seriously disturbed. All youd have to then is start talking to anyone who will listen about how you ordered a big salad at Cheesecake Factory yesterday and find a way to casually display the little star tattoo on your foot and youll probably be appointed to the ICBAInternational Council On Basic Affairs.

Obviously, youre going to need time to adjust to this important wine development. How does this stack up in comparison to the 250k other ways you already know of to consume ros? Should you convert to ros 40s only, or should you attempt to maintain even some semblance of dignity in your life? Here are all the various ways one can consume ros, to ensure that you pick the best one for your personal, and very basic, lifestyle:

1. Buy It By The Bottle

So, this is a no brainer. If you want ros, you could always just buy a bottle of ros. Its a fairly simple concept. Of course, one bottle of ros does not traditionally go a long way. I mean, I think we all know that one person can consume a bottle of ros fairly easily over brunch (and go on to have a pretty fucked up Sunday afternoon) so remember that if youre planning to share your stash, more than one bottle will likely be necessary. You could also buy one of those giant bottles, but then youll need to make sure you have an SO or some sad-ass friendzoned guy friend around to carry it for you. What if you reach for your phone to answer an important text and drop it? Then theres no ros for anyone, and thats a goddamn tragedy.

2. Subscribe To A Ros Delivery Service

If you love ros and are the laziest person on the face of the Earth, you can have ros delivered directly to your door, and the best part is that the bottles are magnums meaning that they are equal to two normal size bottles of ros. Membership to The Summer Water Societ is a very bougie way of letting people know that you are devot to the church of ros, and must have access to it at all times. Also, each month they send you cool swag like Societ hats, water bottles, and beach towels so everybody knows where you stand when it comes to drinking pink wine.

3. Get Into Boxed Ros

Move the fuck over Franzia, because boxed ros is here and its actually like, kind of good. Two companies, Les Vignerons dEstzargues and VRAC will provide you with boxes of ros all the way from France for around $30. Thats basically spending $30 on four really good bottles of ros, despite the fact that they do come in a box and look like hobo wine you made under your bed. Buying this boxed ros is a great way to signal to your friend group that, when it comes to your most beloved wine variety, you are more about quality than appearing like you have any respect for yourself.

4. Casually Sip Ros From A Can

If youve ever wanted to spend an entire day low-key sipping on ros without having to carry a bottle (or a box) around with you, canned ros is the way to go. Uncorked offers a 4 pack of Seven Daughters ros for just $17.99, which is a steal when you realize that each can is equal to two glasses of ros. The cans are also very sleekn and kind of look like energy drinks, so you could totally sip them in public next to a police station and nobody would notice. Not that were saying you should do that, but also you should totally do that.

5. Be That Person With A 40 Ounce Wine

As we previously discussed, 40s of ros are now an option, and if you want to claim the 40 Ounce Ros Girl title for yourself, then by all means do so. Just be sure to figure out how youll eventually explain all the pics of you double fisting wine 40s to your children.

6. Make Your Own

If youre one of those DIY betches with the ability to actually complete a Pinterest project, a make your own ros kit may be right for you. The bag claims that the kit makes over 30 bottles of wine in just one hour, which is a fuckton of ros until you consider that only the most advanced DIY-er will probably walk away from this project with thirty drinkable bottles. For those of us who can barely follow microwave popcorn instructions, the make-your-own-ros kit will most likely result in a very questionable looking pink goo that will end up killing your friend Becca when she gets drunk enough on store bought ros to try it.
