Yogamatters spike acupressure mat with carry bag

Yogamatters spike acupressure mat with carry bag
 
The acupressure spiky mat is a modern take on the traditional Indian ‘bed of nails’ technique and is fast becoming a popular tool for self-healing, relaxation and meditation. The ‘spikes’ work in a similar way to acupuncture by ‘waking up’ the body - restoring its pranic flow and directing blood to areas in need of healing.
The pressure of the ‘spikes’ is also said to release endorphins. Known as the ‘happy hormone’, endorphins not only make you feel energized and joyful, they also stimulate the release of oxytocin, which will help you feel calm and relaxed. Endorphins are also natural painkillers, so will soothe away aches, niggles and tensions throughout your body. Some users find that regular use of a spiky mat alleviates muscle pain.

To reap the benefits of your spiky mat, lie on the mat for 20-40 minutes at least a couple of times a week. Regular use of the acupressure mat will induce relaxation and self-healing quicker. It should feel ‘nicely painful’ to lie on the mat, but everyone has different pain thresholds, so experiment with lying on a towel until you find the right level of sensation. The ‘spikes’ have a rounded tip, so can’t hurt you, however people with sensitive skin, haemophilia or psoriasis should use the mat with caution.

The spiky mat comes in a purpose-made Yogamatters canvas bag. Made from 100% cotton, the bag can be used to carry the mat around, store it safely or be used as an eco, recyclable bag for your shopping.

Over the last three weeks I have used my acupressure mat for 5-15 minutes a day, and the thing I have noticed mostly is that immediately afterwards I feel energised and able to move stiff joints a little more freely. I am guessing that this is due to the endorphin release, rather than a miracle arthritis cure, but whatever the cause I don't mind, I'm loving the feeling.

I slept really well after using this for the first time. It was much less uncomfortable than I thought it would be and I will be using it regularly.

I've only recently acquired my mat, but had tried one a year ago and got my chance with Yogamatters offer. My passion is for walking on it barefoot (not rashly done!) and find that it is easily done with a pair of socks on, still very effective. I've experimented with a fierce doormat in the past (hard,spiked plastic) and the Acupressure Mat moves the barrier back quite a bit. I find it distinctly mood-liftingand useful for fighting depression. Don't be put off - a layer of material over the spikes makes all the difference.

Ive only recently purchased a mat so cannot rate the long term effects upon my wellbeing however it is actually quite comfy to lay on once you get used to the sensation and would highly reccomend its use along with a guided meditation cd to relax the mind. Makes 25 minutes fly by, so much that I fell asleep on it.

For a while I have seen some information about these mats so I decided to have a go. Well, I have to say I am truly amazed at how good this is. I have done a little reading on these and I certainly agree with the reports that they are relaxing and make you feel better. I would certainly recommend these to anyone. I bought the pink one and it's really lovely.

Bought this mat after my mother-in-law raved about it and I can now understand why. I keep it by my bed and most often use it whilst reading, or if I wake up too early before the morning alarm. A couple of minutes and I'm back to sleep! I still use it in a thin pillowcase and it's surprisingly comfortable - I've slept the whole night on it before and woke up feeling refreshed and without the usual morning stiffness in my back. Well worth a try.

Lovely! Ideal for when you've been teaching Yoga and feel in need of a boost. Not at all uncomfortable, and it is also really useful that it comes in its own bag. I love my mat!

Or two. We use ours so much that we have one each. They go with us on holiday too, they are so useful. They are less than the cost of a therapy/massage session, and are always available. You can have a designated therapeutic session on the mat, but you can also use them while sitting (TV, radio, reading etc) under any part of you that needs a bit of TLC. Tip: Don't tidy the mat away. Leave it out and use it frequently.
