Incompatible Altered States

[errantember]

As I've been getting back into yoga over the past few days, I've also been doing sitting meditation as part of the practice. After trying to empty some of the rock-hard ground corn-cob out of my home-made meditation pillow, I discovered it had been colonized by fuzzy brown mildew. While I've had some pretty good times with fungus, I'd really prefer to keep my altered states separate until I consciously *decide* to combine them. So into the trash the old pillow went, and I trucked out to Goodwill to get a new one.

Anyone know where you can get buckwheat hulls in Austin for a reasonable cost? Michael's doesn't seem to carry them, and Hobby Lobby was closed today.

You may find some here: http://www.callahansgeneralstore.com/. They don't have their "feed store" stuff online, so you would have to call, but they may carry it as animal bedding.

Thanks for the suggestion. They don't have it, which isn't surprising, since meditation pillows seems to be it's only real use. I found a dandy leather pillow at Pangea, and ordered the buckwheat hulls online.
