Why Use a Shakti Mat?
Fancy trying a massaging mat to help you unwind and relax tight muscles? In this guide, we’re exploring the top reasons you should use a Shakti Mat and how it works. Shakti mats may look a little intimidating (and spiky) but they carry plenty of acupressure benefits.
What is a Shakti Mat used for?
1. Acupressure
If you’re curious about acupressure, the Shakti Mat is a great place to start.
An alternative medicine technique, acupressure is based on the concept of life energy which flows through ‘meridians’ in the body.
If you’re not quite ready for the full Shakti experience, we recommend the lighter Shakti mat crafted with softer spikes.
2. Relieve Tension
What starts as a tingling sensation on your skin eventually penetrates to your muscles. Better blood flow boosts circulation and eases muscle tension in your back. If you feel a lot of weight on your shoulders and upper back, the Shakti Mat should bring some relief.
3. Total Mind And Body Relaxation
Just 20 minutes on a Shakti Mat can help bring total mind and body relaxation. Lie on the floor or on your bed for extra comfort. For the first four minutes, you’re likely to find the mat a little uncomfortable but the perseverance pays off!
Just 10 - 20 minutes on the mat is all you need to reach a calmer state of mind. Your body softens and warms as the muscle tension eases.
