Shakti Mat Light - Yellow

The Shakti Mat is used as a wellness tool for overall health and well-being. Most commonly it is used to support: deep sleep, healthy circulation, muscle tension, relief from discomfort, stress, and promotes relaxation, and general vitality. These benefits are accessible through the principles of acupressure, all within the comfort of your home. If you’re intimidated by the spikes, this is a beginner-friendly entry point to the Shakti experience. Gentle but effective and incredibly relaxing. With 2,000 more spikes than the Shakti Original, it has all the spikes, without the bite! Perfect for you if you're not quite ready to take the full Shakti leap of faith on the more popular Originals.

Quick Facts

• The Shakti Mat is covered in thousands of tiny acupressure points (8,000 on the Light Mat to be precise)
• The stimulators apply gentle yet firm pressure to problem areas, relaxing the muscles and the mind
• The Shakti Mat uses the principles of acupressure; an ancient healing technique used in Eastern Medicine for thousands of years
• It’s based on the concept of the Indian Bed of Nails, used as a therapeutic practice by yogis for cultivating meditation. That’s right, it wasn’t some pain stunt, but a relaxation aid
• The Shakti Mat can be beneficial when used on many different areas of the body, not just the back and feet (but they are two great places to start)

How do I use it?

The most popular ways to use The Shakti Mat are on the neck and shoulders, back, legs, feet, and even on your belly! Your entire body can benefit. Simply let The Mat apply pressure to your body.

For most, The Shakti Mat hurts at first. This soon transforms into sensations of tingling, pulsating, and warmth. It takes a few minutes to get past the intensity and over the ‘hump’ before being left with a sense of calm, well-being, and restoration.

TIP: If the affect is too intense at first, a thin shirt can be worn to ease your body into the sensation. Over time as your body adjusts you can move to bare-skin for the full Shakti experience.

There is no limit for time or frequency of a Shakti session, and it is completely normal to fall asleep on the Mat. We recommend users aim for 15 minutes or more to experience the full acupressure effect; or 2-3 minutes if standing.

Because the mat’s points are quite sharp, they naturally leave indentations on the skin, as well as a redness in the area due to circulation. This is not harmful and shows the mat is doing its job!
