Sometime in the past year, the intelligence behind targeted social media marketing identified me as someone who might enjoy lying on a bed of nails—and proved it knows me better than I know myself. After finally getting past my initial wtf and dabbling in the gateway drug of acupuncture I decided to test the Shakti Mat for myself—and quickly discovered that laying on sharp objects is one of my absolute favorite pastimes. Today, the practice has been made more accessible through the invention of acupressure mats, which basically look like yoga mats with tons of spikes all over the surface. Enter the Shakti Mat. Shakti Premium Acupressure Mat. Shakti Premiu m Acupressure Pillow. Laying on thousands of sharp spikes counters most of our notions of a good idea. So why do it? A study found that acupressure treatment can produce a clinically significant decrease in self-rated pain and anxiety scores. Meanwhile, another study on a group of nursing students found that acupressure was an effective intervention for relieving stress. Sign us up! When I got my hands on the Premium Shakti Mat and Pillow , I was most curious about how the mat would influence my ability to drop in during meditation and how it might impact my sleep and energy levels. The instructions also advised me to start off wearing a layer of clothes and to aim for 15 — 20 minutes of use. So, I took the instructions with a grain of salt and started out with my bare skin on the mat. It was not comfortable, but I was so excited to see what would happen that I was eager to endure it. I put on my favorite Dr. Joe Dispenza edition and set my intention to heal, rest, and merge with the Quantum Field. Not to be dramatic, but it was not long before I could feel qi—the circulating energy force in all of our bodies—come online and circulate. When my minute meditation was over, I called my mom to tell her that I could feel all of my organs?! She thought I was losing it, but then ordered the Shakti Mat for herself, too. The next day, I used the Shakti Mat before I went to bed—which the brand recommends. What I was intending to be a thirty-minute session turned into falling asleep for two and a half hours. While 20 minutes is enough to reap the benefits and the sweet spot most people are comfortable with nothing bad happens if you blow through that stop sign, like I did. As for the Shakti Mat side effects on my sleep, each night I had ridiculously elaborate, vivid, wtf-even-is-this dreams. Since REM sleep is the stage of sleep in which most of our dreaming takes place, and the amount of dreaming I experienced this week was abnormally active, I hypothesize that the Shakti Mat increased my amount of REM sleep. Meanwhile, my mom experienced her own sleep changes once her Shakti Mat came in the mail. My mother has not slept well in decades. She has been known to regularly spend whole nights awake. She called me this morning to tell me that she finally broke the pattern: After she woke up the first time, she was able to fall back asleep. When she woke up the second time, it was 5 a. As far as my back pain, I keep accumulating it, because I keep sitting at my desk to work. Even though none of my recent stressors have gone away, this week I felt centered and was able to wake up early enough and energized enough to get in yoga and hiking before my workday. In full transparency, I have not tried any other acupressure mats. Plus, Shakti stands out from other brands for its commitment to dignified labor practices. They pay their manufacturing employees a living wage, provide an emergency medical fund, and invest in the education of their children. In this past week, I have pestered my entire family and circle of friends to also get a Shakti Mat. Selfishly, I just want other people who I can compare all this crazy-dream data with. Unselfishly, however, I want everyone I know—and all you strangers, too—to feel well-rested and energized. By Natalli Amato. Share: X Facebook Share Copied to clipboard. Videos by VICE.
