- When using The Shakti Mat, thousands of spikes apply pressure to your skin and
muscles. If you’re like most, this experience can be uncomfortable and prickly at first.
This will last a couple of minutes before a tingly sensation occurs, similar to deep heat,
as the area warms. Discomfort then evaporates, muscles start to feel relaxed, and
tension eases. This process can lead to feelings of bliss, and a state of such deep
relaxation you may even nod off to sleep.- Because the mat's points are quite sharp, they naturally leave indentations on the skin,
as well as a redness in the area due to circulation. This is not harmful and shows the mat
is doing its job!

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.
