Lots of spikes on it
The acupressure mat is covered with small lotus-flower shaped acupressure points providing over 6,000 ‘nails’ that stimulate the meridians, liberating energy and lulling you into a state of rest. Even busy, buzzy over-active minds will be stilled by a twenty minute session on one of these types of mats. Your mind has no choice but to slow down, there are higher energies at play here.
As you lie down upon the Shakti mat, the feeling may be a little peculiar. The secret is to lie directly down onto it and not to think twice – it’s the hesitant touches of the spikes that really feel uncomfortable. Once the acupressure mat is holding your weight equally there is no soreness, rather there is a quite distinctive feeling of heat.
