Using your Shakti Acupressure Tools
Lying on Shakti spikes stimulates hundreds of acupoints, helping improve circulation, ease built-up tension, and naturally rebalance your body’s energy flow. The sensation may feel intense at first, but within 5–10 minutes, it transforms into a gentle warmth that encourages a calm, meditative state—what we call Shakti bliss. Direct skin contact allows the spikes to work more effectively, and steady breathing helps you relax into the experience more quickly.
The Shakti Mat
The most common way to use the Shakti Mat is by lying down on it. Ensure your neck, shoulders, and back are fully in contact with the spikes. You can also explore other areas like the backs of your legs or even your feet if you’re feeling adventurous.
- Choose a quiet space where you can lie comfortably without interruptions. A firm surface like the floor works well, though a softer surface like a bed can increase overall contact.
- Lower yourself slowly onto the mat to distribute your weight evenly. Take a deep breath, exhale, and allow the spikes to do their work.
- On average, it takes around 20 minutes to reach Shakti bliss, though you can start with shorter sessions or extend them as you become more comfortable.
- If you need to stay on schedule, set a timer—or simply enhance the experience with calming audio from the Shakti Shala app.
The Shakti Pillow
The Shakti Pillow works as a natural companion to the mat and is most commonly used while lying down.
- It’s especially effective for relieving tension in the neck and shoulders, while its curved design also supports areas like the arches of your feet. Its adaptable shape and flexible filling make it useful across different parts of the body—place it behind your lower back, under your legs, or along any area that feels tight.
- For added comfort, try placing the Shakti Pillow against a regular bed pillow to find the ideal angle for relaxing or even reading.
- Tension typically begins to ease within 10 minutes, though this varies from person to person. Areas with more tightness may require longer—but the relief that follows makes it worthwhile.
Wonderball
Wonderball is your go-to acupressure tool for quick, targeted relief anytime you need it. Simply choose a tense area and start rolling.
Use it between your hands, along your arms, across your sides, or even gently over your face to release tension within minutes.
The included cork stand is especially helpful for applying pressure under your arms or wrists.
Keep it nearby—on your work desk as a reminder to take a break, or at home to make the most of your downtime.
The Acupress Leg Wraps
Wrapping thousands of acupressure spikes around your legs might sound intense—but it can be exactly what sore muscles need.
- To use Acupress Leg Wraps, fasten the inner wraps in numerical order while seated. You can adjust the sequence if needed to achieve a more comfortable and secure fit.
- For a lighter experience or if you’re just starting out, simply sit and allow the sensation to settle in for 20–40 minutes.
- If you want to increase the intensity, tighten the compression straps to apply more consistent pressure around your legs.
