Shakti Mat

“The perfect nighttime routine… this got me back into meditating”

“Yes, it's covered in spikes. They will press all the tension and sadness out of your muscles and leave you feeling like melted butter. I use mine at least three times a week.”

“Hurts so good. Anxiety gone. Me for 10 minutes after a day on my computer. Relieves a lot of tension. Logs my brain out after 3 mins. Instant acupuncture euphoria feeling without an appointment. Sometimes deletes tensions headaches completely.”

“Not a scam. Fantastic release when you’re feeling anxiously activated. Pair with Tara Brach meditations!!”

“Pain is temporary, being a chiller is...also temporary. Anyway, I like to lay on thousands of spikes until my body relaxes and I don't care about whatever was bothering me before.”

“breathwork, lemon balm tea, edibles, legs up the wall...hereby endorsing whatever gets you to sleep (mine is a shakti mat)”

“This, with an upgrade: lie on your mat with a sheet mask on your face and meditate. I'm going through a divorce right now, and I deploy this industrial-strength self-care almost daily.”

“The first two minutes on bare skin is kinda agony, but then your back starts getting warm and cozy and all your muscles unwind. The first time I did it, I could feel my muscles releasing one by one with a pop (I was concerned but it’s okay just go with it). It was so weird but felt so great.”
