The Shakti Acupressure Mat is a modern user friendly "bed of nails" intended as a drug-free approach to tension and stress relief. The mat’s 6600 tiny plastic points apply acupressure which many patients said relieved their tension and even their pain, and induced deep relaxation. According to studies, the relief reported by sufferers of back pain, nausea, etc., may be due to release of endorphins (and other feel good hormones) stimulated by the spikes, to produce a state of meditative relaxation. The Shakti Mat can help those suffering from low levels of energy, high levels of stress, insomnia, tension pain, migraine, lumbago, sciatica, depression, and more.
For thousands of years, Indian mystics used the bed of nails to achieve a balance between body and mind as it helped remove emotional, physical and mental blockages. This ancient healing concept, combined with Swedish innovation, offers you an easy and practical way to reduce stress, achieve deep relaxation and renew your overall health and wellbeing. The tiny points feel prickly at first, but users get used to the feeling and soon go from 5-minute sessions to 20 minutes or longer.

How to use the Shakti Acupressure Mat:
1.
Place the mat on the floor, bed, or any other flat or soft surface. If possible, use a neck pillow or a rolled up towel underneath the mat for neck support.
2.
Lie down slowly and carefully and distribute your weight evenly over the contact points. You will likely experience a mild discomfort during the first 1 to 3 minutes. This is perfectly normal and the sensation will subside quickly.
3.
Take long deep breaths and relax. You will soon feel completely relaxed and re-energized
We recommend that you start slowly and work up to using the mat daily for about 15-30 minutes, but it’s completely harmless if you want to use it for longer periods. If you feel that the initial sensation is too painful, simply wear a t-shirt or place a thin sheet between your body and the mat. You will gradually become used to the mat and be able to remove the protective layer. When you become more familiar with the mat you can experiment with other positions.
