The Shakti Mat is covered with little lotus-flower shaped acupressure points providing over 6,000 ‘nails’ that stimulate the meridians, releasing energy and lulling you into a state of relaxation. Even busy, buzzy over-active minds will be stilled by a 20 minute session on one of these mats. Your mind has no choice but to slow down, there are higher energies at work here.
When you first try lying down on the Shakti mat, you might have a hard time getting accustomed to the sensation. What you should do is to lie right down all at once rather than trying to gradually lie down on it, which can be uncomfortable. However, as soon as you’re lying there with the mat’s spikes supporting your body weight evenly, you discover that it’s an incredibly comfortable thing.
I’d been lying on the Shakti mat for less than a minute before I began to feel a tingling warmth in my back. Within a couple of minutes, this sensation starting spreading throughout my body. It feels strange, but only for a moment before the deep relaxation sets in.
