We get it, shopping for spikes to relax on is tricky when you can’t try them first. If Shakti isn’t right for you, you can return or exchange yours within 60 days. That being said, only 1 in every 271 customers returns their Mat, so we’re confident you’ll be converted too.
We’re not relaxed until you are. Everything we make is guaranteed from day one, and we’ll fix or replace anything faulty on arrival.
The first few minutes of lying on spikes is the hardest thing you’ll do. After that, you’ll wonder why you didn’t get on them sooner. We developed the world’s only acupressure mat app from scratch to make it as easy as possible, so you can leapfrog the initial discomfort and double the benefits of your Shakti Mat.
1 Mat = 1 tree planted

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
• Tension-free muscles
• Increased circulation
• Mental clarity
• Calm and focus
• Deeper sleep
• An ongoing sense of wellbeing
The most popular way to Shakti is in bed, before sleep. Lying down with the Mat under your back and shoulders is perfect, but you can use the Mat to target tension anywhere throughout your body.
Combining Shakti with yoga and meditation – either seated or through poses like sphinx and pigeon – can also help incorporate acupressure into your recovery or wellbeing routine.
To make it easy you’ll receive access to the world’s only acupressure mat app with purchase, unlocking the ability to double your Shakti benefits in minutes.
Will it hurt? Yes. But only for a little in the beginning.
The point to those spikes is that they activate your parasympathetic nervous system – fast. Your body says “Ouch!” and your brain goes into pain response mode.
After a few minutes you realise, “Hey, I’m not actually in pain” – and that’s where the real change begins.
You begin to take advantage of all the serotonin, oxytocin, and feel-good chemicals rushing through your body. The tingling sensation turns into a deep warmth, and tension washes away as acupressure works its magic.
There are two things to consider when looking at intensities:
1. Acupressure is personal
2. Shakti spikes are much sharper than anything else out there.
Like the firmness of a mattress or the pressure of a massage – acupressure is the opposite of ‘one size fits all’. If you go too far in the beginning you’re less likely to build a solid habit. It’s why we offer three intensities that all unlock the benefits of acupressure.
Level 1
Lying on spikes is weird, so we made sure this is the perfect place to start. Expect a balance of initial discomfort and deep release. Ideal for anyone new to acupressure.
Level 2
For the bold and brave. Fewer spikes = more discomfort, so commit to pushing through to unlock the deeper release on the other side if you are contemplating Level 2.
Level 3
Our deepest release isn’t the last stop on your journey – it’s only for the most experienced. Expect a serious sensation to start, with plenty of reward if you can handle it.
Where acupuncture uses needles to pierce the skin, acupressure uses spikes to press against it. The key difference with a Shakti Mat is that you can activate multiple acupoints in as many seconds as it takes to lie on them, and you don’t need to book an appointment either.
