Still Sitting Newsletter
June 2008, Issue 2



It has been a cold spring in the Pacific Northwest, with the barbeque index for Seattle the lowest since 1917 (that's the number of days over 60 degrees...). Only now is the rhododendron in full bloom, and the foxglove emerging. Our strawberries have a long way to go. Lidunn is keeping warm and busy in our new sewing studio, pictured here. Since our last newsletter in March business has been brisk. Among other things we've outfitted four Meditation Halls with cushions - in Boston, Oakland, and two in and around Seattle. As we head into summer we wish you a productive garden, a few long and lazy days, and plenty of still sitting - whether on a cushion or behind a fishing pole.

We send out our Newsletter four times a year, and we hope it's of some benefit to you. If you'd prefer not to receive it, you may safely unsubscribe at any time by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page. Absolutely no hard feelings.

When sitting in meditation it's best to keep your body sitting up straight and relaxed. Take a look at the photo of Rodin's famous sculpture, The Thinker. When you are pondering something this makes for a pretty good posture. But when you are aiming to clear the mind it is better to do the opposite, and sit up straight and open. More >>

The two of us sew, stuff, clean, and ship out every mediation cushion right here in our Vashon workshop. Every robe is cut to size and tailored right here. We check every seam before it ships to you. We are exacting about our work. And we know our trade.  If you have a question about any of our products or how best to use them, please call or email us.
