Feet, feet, feet 👟 .... Standing on 6,000 spikes 😳. This is the one people struggle with the most! 🙅‍♀️ But... no-pain, no-gain right!? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Standing for a large part of the day + exercise + chores... simply doing everyday activities... can really take a toll on your feet! 🔥 They are after all, the things that carry us around everywhere. So we have a lot to thank them for! And deep tissue massage is one of those things you can do to thank them 💆‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Although at a glance, this may not seem as dreamy as a foot rub 😇... applying targeted pressure to tense areas in your feet does wonders for relaxation and recovery! The stimulation supports circulation, and ‘getting things moving’ to release stored tension 💧. This stored tension and build up of toxins can often be the source of a lot of inflammation ☄️ and tired muscles. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ TOP TIPS: 👇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • start in socks and build up to bare feet⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • slide a pillow case or sarong over your mat to ease intensity⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • try first thing in the morning to energise feet⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • or try before bed to support relief ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸 @katievantuyl⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #reflexologymassage #footreflexology #massagetherapy #selfhealing #tlc #ShaktiSelfCare #acupressuremat #relaxation_time #naturalremedy #shaktimat

🌵 Take a look at the thousands of wee spikes that cover a Shakti Mat and apply pressure to skin and muscles 🧐. The idea of succumbing your body to these spikes seems odd... and maybe even counter-intuitive! 🤨 But when you think of these spikes applying 'pressure' as opposed to pricks... the practice seems a lot less daunting 🙅‍♀️. 'Pressure' application in the name of health and well-being is quite commonplace. A deep-tissue massage uses pressure to release tension and support muscle recovery💆‍♂️. Reflexology also uses pressure for specialised pressure-point massage to encourage natural healing 👣 . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Shakti Mat has a very similar purpose. It is used as a wellness tool for overall health and healing, but has the ability to be used at home 🏠 . Most commonly it is used to support deep sleep, healthy circulation, muscle recovery, relief from pain or discomfort, relaxation and general vitality 🌞. These benefits are all accessible through the principles of acupressure (acu-point targeted pressure). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Acupressure is a long-standing and well trusted healing practice from Eastern Medicine 🌍. While this practice is reasonably new to the Western world, it dates back 2,000 years and is now adopted by reputable practitioners around the world. The Shakti Mat mimics this ancient healing technique to reproduce the benefits and make the practice of acupressure more widely available 💫. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Therein lies the beauty of Shakti Mats... You can experience the benefits of acupressure... But all within the comfort of your own home 🛌 . . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #shaktimat#acupressuremat #acupressuretherapy #naturalremedy #ShaktiSelfCare #holistichealing #healthylifestyle #deepsleep #calms #findyourbalance #destress #healthyhabits #dailymindfulness #calmthemind #loveyourbody #endorphins #healthhacks #dailyroutine #goodforyou

@rainbow.shashi 🌈 #repost - “Rest time... this Shakti Mats is all that and a bag of hemp hearts” 🌞 • • • Children tend to really enjoy using The Shakti Mat 😇 - this is because they relax into it very quickly and it provides a wonderful way to wind down 😴. It brings a lot of calm and relaxation to what usually is an activity-filled and energy intense day! 🏃‍♀️ 👉 Try using it after school, or at bedtime 🛌 and see how it goes! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ Always assist, or supervise, while your child is getting on, or off the Mat. And consider trying the Light Mat for them to begin with. This will provide a more gentle treatment 😊 . . #shaktimat #relax #unwind #acupressuretherapy #naturalremedy #ShaktiSelfCare #relaxationtime #calmthemind #deepsleep #wellbeingtools #childrenswellness #mentalhealth

Here’s what happens when you lie on The Shakti Mat for 20 minutes... 👇 6,000 acu-points support healthy blood circulation ✓ The body encourages 'feel-good' hormones ✓ Blood appears to be drawn up to the very outer layer of skin ✓ The body feels rejuvenated ✓ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is what it looks like 👀.. But what does it feel like❓🧐 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 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 💤 . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As humans, we all have different sensitivity to pain. For some people adjusting to The Shakti Mat can take just a couple of minutes, while for others it can take a couple of sessions ⏱. Over time, you will adjust to the initial discomfort, as your body learns to respond more readily to the pressure applied by the Mat. 🌵 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ...Have you joined the red-back-club yet ❓ 📸 from @suzs_world #redbackclub #shaktimat #acupressuremat
