How to use.
The most common way to Shakti is in bed before sleep. It’s easy to add to your bedtime ritual, whether that’s with a book or your favourite show. Just 20 minutes, lying down, under your blankets is all it takes to get started!
As part of your purchase, you’ll receive a free 5-part Shakti tutorial series to help guide you through your first Shakti sessions.
What to expect.
We’re going to be honest, lying on sharp spikes can be a little intense at first, but your body is going to love you for it.
First, you will experience a prickly discomfort that is tempting to resist. Once you push through, the sensations melt into a tingly warmth, known as the addictive “Shakti burn”. After 20 minutes it’s time for the real reward—the full-body sensation kicks in, tension washes away and you’re ready for deep sleep.
After 15 years of developing the world's most effective acupressure mat, we've learned that Shakti is about getting comfortable with the uncomfortable.
We offer 3 levels of intensity.
• Like most good journeys, it’s best to start at the beginning. If you're new to Shakti, we recommend starting at Level 1. This level offers a strong and therapeutic acupressure experience.
• Shakti spikes are sharp! Once you have built up a regular Shakti practice, there are more intense levels to keep you challenged. If you are already on your Shakti Mat journey, feeling brave, or are still unsure which level is right for you, take The Shakti Quiz to decide your next step.
We call it a journey because Shakti is so much more than a Mat.
The more you use your Shakti Mat, the more you will understand what we mean. Using your Shakti Mat will help you understand your body and your mind, but it is the practice of observing yourself on The Shakti Mat that is the real journey. Regular Shakti practice leads to better sleep, less pain and tension in your body, and your mind will thank you too.
