Using your Shakti Acupressure Products
Lying down on Shakti spikes activates hundreds of acupoints to promote circulation, release tension, and naturally restore the energy that flows within you. It’s a sensation to start, but after 5-10 minutes the tingle turns into a soft warmth that brings a meditative state with it. We call it Shakti bliss. Skin-to-spike contact lets the spikes work their best, and focusing on your breath will help you sink to relaxation sooner. Yoga can be incorporated into your practice with poses like bridge, pigeon, cobra, and sphinx encouraging a deeper, targeted release.
The Shakti Mat
The most popular way to use The Shakti Mat is by lying down. Make sure your neck, shoulders, and back are in contact with the spikes. Other areas include the back of your legs, and your feet if you’re feeling brave.
- Start with a space you can lie down and remain undisturbed in. The floor is great, otherwise the softness of your bed will ensure maximum contact.
- Lie down slowly to evenly distribute your weight. Then take a deep breath, exhale, and let the spikes work their magic.
- 20 minutes is the average time it takes to find Shakti bliss, but you can start slow or go further if you’re up for it.
- Set a timer if the real world needs you back, or tune into relaxing audio in the free Shakti Shala app.
The Shakti Pillow
Think of The Shakti Pillow as an extension of your Shakti Mat. The most popular way to use it is on your neck at the top of your Mat, but its curves can also target yours – naturally tucking into your lower back, feet, and legs.
- Start by using The Pillow under the curve of your neck while in bed or on the sofa. Place it against a bed pillow to achieve the perfect angle while you relax or read.
- Melting tension usually takes around 10 minutes but everyone is different. More tension and tightness = more time to release. It also makes the payoff that much more rewarding
