Acupressure Mats

The Shakti Mat™ acupressure mat has become one of the "must have" health and wellbeing products in Scandinavia during 2009. Developed in Sweden by Om Mokshananda, it is now used in one in ten households in Sweden. This is a phenominal success story for a product only launched in 2008. There are many inferior copies of the Shakti Mat, but so many lack the integrity, quality and fair trade spirations of this product.

Nurses, sports stars, people on disability pension, yogi practitioners, and athletes all testify to the positive effects.

For optimum results, daily sessions of 20-40 minutes are recommended and even children can use it when supervised by an adult.

The Shakti Mat™ is a modern user friendly "bed of nails". The 6000 acupressure points on the Shakti Mat is the secret of its properties in relieving tension and helping deep relaxation. The Shakti Mat combines the ancient practice of acupressure with the latest technology.

Cost effective - for the cost of one professional massage the Shakti Mat can be used over and over again.

How to use The Shakti Mat

Place your Shakti Mat on a flat surace or on a bed. A neck pillow is useful or a rolled up towel underneath the mat to support your neck. Ruth White Yoga blocks are especially useful, as the softer recycled full and half blocks allow you to adjust the height. Lie so that your your skin rests in contact with the points. Relax and breathe deeply. If you are sensitive to pain you may like to try with a thin cloth between yourself and the mat, not too thick otherwise you will not feel the benefit of the Shajti Mat pressure points. Start with 10-15 minutes then progressively increase to longer sessions, typically 20-40 minutes.

There are detailed instructions included with each mat.
