CRAFTSMAN DON FRANKLIN
Hand Crafted Meditation Stools

One size does not fit most. Groovy Zen Stools has three sizes designed for each individual to bridge that gap for those whose needs are specific. Comfort and stability allow a mindful moment possible where other stools fail.
 
During physical rehabilitation, I was entroduced to meditation as a tool for pain management. Surgery was not kind, and sitting in a crossed legged position was not an option.  I had always dabbled in meditation, but now I was faced with chronic pain and little alternatives. Neccessaity being the mother of all inventions, I designed a meditation stool for myself and other physically impaired people who wanted to actively participate in a disciplined practice.
 
Sitting in a comfortable chair, I fell asleep. Getting off the floor was like climbing Mt. Everest.  But kneeling, and being supported comfortably, I was able to meditate for longer periods of time I never thought possible.  I felt engaged in my practice.
 
Most mass market stools are made for the average sized person and fail to consider the unique physical qualities of each person. It is true that we of the Western hemisphere are larger than our brothers and sisters abroad. Groovy Zen Stools can support up to 360lbs. and are rock solid for durability. Stools come in three sizes for a custom fit. 
 
Pick one from below.
  • The GZ-1 For the Big & Tall Practioner: 250lbs & above; Height approx. 6'- 5" and above
  • The GZ-2 For the Medium Meditator: 140lbs up to 249lbs; Height approx. 5'- 5" to 6'- 2"
  • The GZ-3 For the Petite Practitioner: 139lbs and below; Height approx. 4'- 9" to 5'- 3"

All stools have a poly-eurathane finish and come with a 1.5" cushion.  Colors are Black & Burgundy.  If a specific color or material is desired for the cushion, we will accomodate and adjust stool price accordingly. 

Foundation is the key to everything.  You need a strong foundation of support not only from your stool, but from fellow practitioners as well.  We encourage you to seek out meditation groups in your community to share the road to happy destiny. 

A calm oasis from hectic demands is necessary in this post modern, cultural current world of unbelievable frenzy.  A mindful moment is essential for returning to center, or coming home.  Meditation offers this oppurtunity to "Be Here Now" and restore harmony through simplistic, simple technics such as mindful breathing. The benefits are staggering. Discipline, awareness and a deep, profound respect for all emerges from just a few quiet moments of simply being.
