Spike mats, a seemingly medieval torture device, have undergone a modern transformation and are an amazing tool to use for a moment of relaxation or to use for self-care. What makes this seemingly painful experience so appealing? Let's dive into the world of spike mats and discover why more and more people are opting for this stimulating wellness experience.
The benefits:
1. Stress Relief : Spike mats are known for their ability to reduce stress. The numerous small spikes on the mat stimulate acupressure points on your back, which can help relieve tension and release endorphins, your body's natural feel-good hormones.
2. Better sleep : For many, a good night’s sleep has become a rare commodity. Nail mats can help by promoting relaxation, improving blood circulation and stimulating the release of melatonin, which is essential for healthy sleep patterns.
3. Promoting blood circulation : Lying on the Shakti needles activates hundreds of acupuncture points to promote blood circulation, release tension and naturally restore the energy flowing within you.
4. Customized Pain Relief : Whether you are suffering from back pain, neck pain or muscle tension, spike mats can be used to target specific areas for targeted pain relief. It’s like a personalized massage in the comfort of your own home.
5. Mindfulness : As you lie on the mat, the sharp sensation forces you to be in the moment, regulate your breathing and calm your mind. It can be an effective way to practice mindfulness and escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Spike mats have transformed from a potentially terrifying concept to a must-have self-care item. Whether you’re looking for stress relief, better sleep, or pain relief, these “painful pleasure makers” have proven to be more than just a spiky gimmick. Dare you explore the titillating world of spike mats?
How do you use the Shakti mat?
The most popular way to use the Shakti Mat is lying down. Make sure your neck, shoulders and back are in contact with the needles. Other areas include the backs of your legs and your feet, for the bravest among us.
- Start with a space where you can lie down undisturbed. The floor is ideal, otherwise the softness of your bed will provide optimal contact.
- Lay down slowly to distribute your weight evenly. Then take a deep breath, exhale and let the needles do their work.
- After 5-10 minutes, the tingling will change to a gentle warmth, bringing a meditative experience. Set a timer for when the real world needs you again, or listen to the relaxing audio in the free Shakti Shala app.
