Meditation on a natural fibre tuffet?

fitnesscenterbkk.com

Modern day life leaves many of us feeling  stressed and over-worked, a short 10 - 15 minutes meditation can calm the mind and leave you feeling unstressed and more focused on the good things in life. The eco-friendly wool  tuffet may be used as the perfect lightweight natural fibre meditation mat allowing contact with the stress relieving  wool  fibres to provide true bottom heaven for the derriere! 
It is important to be able to sit upright in comfort to avoid any undue physical pressure and to avoid added tension. Ideally it is better to have the back of the wool meditation mat slightly raised to enable the pelvis to be slightly tipped forward - this is simply achieved by rolling the edge of the mat to give the perfect position for you. 
 The combination of a single focus perhaps running water in the garden, the call of songbirds or the ringing tones of a Tibetan singing bowl with the natural properties of a wool tuffet is the perfect relaxation for a tired and stressed mind and body.
What better than moving from a tired state to an energised state with the help of a lightweight, rollable, sustainable and washable  eco-friendly tuffet? The natural  wool meditation tuffet could be the new meditation mat of today!!

Tuffet or cushion? Or Tuffet?



The tuffet is a very simple organic, eco friendly 'sit upon' that may present itself in many guises. It has much in common with the well known  cushion which  has been around in one form or another; According to our literary gurus there have been many a mention as far back as the Middle Ages, being included in inventories for Royal Palaces and being a symbol of some status in the French churches. The cushion in it's many forms has been traditionally stuffed with bracken, heather, horse hair, feathers or sheeps wool.
The Travelling Tuffeteer has taken this symbol of sustainable luxury to it's simplest form - the outer casing has been removed and the sumptuous comfort of eco-friendly natural fleece has been exposed to provide you with the ultimate in 'Bottom Heaven'. A phrase coined by a most grateful musician who had been previously  subjected to the most severe discomfort provided with the usual festival concert wooden seat, or the settle in the pub at the local music session. He can now carry his own lightweight status symbol with pride and avoid the look of pity as some invoke when carrying their rather frilly cushions from home. The rustic nature of the tuffet allows you to feel a part of that nature, as the fleece gently soothes and reflects warmth, whilst repelling the damp that so often seeps into this very basic of provided furniture. Would the cushion have this same effect? No, it could not as the outer covering would detract from the benefits. The  wool fibres of the tuffet create an optimal temperature zone, they conduct excess heat and moisture away from the body and it  is also non-allergenic - probably not even the bravest  dust mite would dare!! Scientists have shown that wool fibres can induce a deep relaxed state which will obviously benefit all who sit upon the woven natural tuffet. Could the modern cushion fulfil such a mighty task, comfort, health benefits and an element of suave rural sophistication??

So, the evidence is before you, the question is to Tuffet or cushion, tuffet or not to tuffet?

 Perhaps the quest for true  'Bottom Heaven' has been fulfilled.

Tuffeteer will travel!


I am available for festivals, fetes, country fayres and craft workshops to demonstrate the art of tuffet making with the option of making and purchasing your very own tuffet. The tuffet is a lightweight, woven 'cushion' made from eco-friendly sheeps wool and is guaranteed 'bottom heaven'.

WHY? Due to the stresses of everyday life, the pressures of work and the limitations and restrictions of modern day society I embarked on a six month trip around the UK as a WOOFER - definitely recommended! WOOF stands for World-wide Opportunities on Organic farms and is a great way to meet people, share and learn new skills and generally take stock on the world around you.

The most popular budget  tuffet comes in natural white  fleece and can be used in a range of settings, suitable for indoor / outdoor use and may be enjoyed by the youngest through to the eldest member of your family. The Tuffeteer also creates a range of designs to suit the discerning tastes of all who desire that little slice of 'Bottom Heaven' in style!
