What you need to know beforehand:
Hi, I'm Simone! As a working woman and mother of two wonderful children, I lead a very exciting, but sometimes also really stressful life.
As much as I love my children, there is often little time for ME-TIME besides job, household & family. Unfortunately, the constant workload has also taken its toll over time:
From all the sitting at work, I've been getting nasty back pain & the stress of everyday life has made it harder and harder for me to really switch off and fall asleep in the evenings.
The pain in my back & neck was getting worse and started to extremely affect my daily life and performance at work. On top of that, I was having trouble sleeping, which was taking all my energy away.
I was constantly tired and super quickly exhausted. At some point, I just stumbled through my day as if remote-controlled.
1000 solutions and none helps...
To get my problems under control, I really tried a lot of things:
From massages to yoga and meditation to painkillers (which of course is not a long-term solution either).
I even tried alternative healing methods, such as homeopathy and hypnosis, but nothing had a lasting effect.
As time went by, I was really desperate because just nothing seemed to help me.
And the stress I caused myself in the constant search for a solution to my problem made my complaints even worse - a real vicious circle!
A nail board for relaxation?!
One day I came across an article about the ShaktiMatan acupressure mat with over 6,000 fine points.
Admittedly, I was really skeptical at the beginning, I had heard of acupuncture, but acupressure was completely unknown to me until then.
And now let's be honest:
How the heck was a spiky acupressure mat with thousands of spikes supposed to help me get rid of my back problems and finally be relaxed again?
After all, I consider myself rather sensitive to pain & am anything but a fakir who lies down on a nail board to relax!
But out of desperation, I finally decided to buy the mat.
Quickly added to cart, selected payment method & clicked "Buy Now."
"Your delivery will be with you in 1-2 days!"
- All right, after all, I had nothing to lose.
Until the mat arrived at my house, I did a little more research:
"The ShaktiMat makes use of a traditional Chinese healing method. In your body run meridians, or energy pathways. If these are blocked, this can lead to pain or sleep problems.
At the ShaktiMat the tips of the acupressure mat press on these energy channels and stimulate your blood circulation & release the blockage.
The fine tips will also release the happy hormones endorphin & oxytocin in your body, making you feel calmer and less stressed again."
During my research, I also came across thousands of users who enthusiastically reported how the ShaktiMat had helped them to drastically reduce back pain, muscle tension, sleep disorders & even stress.
Okay - now I was really excited!
My first steps with the Shaktimat!
When the mat arrived at my house, the kids were just in school and I had a few minutes to myself.
Curious, I first put my skin on the many small tips of the ShaktiMat. And wow - they were definitely pointy!
I had read on the Internet that you can approach it slowly by placing the mat on a soft surface. So I chose our couch as my first test location.
I gently lay down on the mat and I admit that the ShaktiMat stings quite a bit at first.
But I really wasn't prepared for what happened after about 10 minutes:
All of a sudden, a pleasant warmth began to slowly spread over my entire body. I really came to rest and felt more relaxed than I had in months. And this despite the fact that thousands of fine spikes were just drilling into my back - it was really absurd!
Over the next few days, I began to develop a routine for myself. I got used to the slight pain surprisingly quickly and even began to really look forward to my little break with the ShaktiMat .
Incidentally, the ShaktiMat is made from organic cotton and is painstakingly handcrafted in a fair factory in India. ShaktiMat provides local women with fair wages, flexible working hours and company health insurance.
With your purchase at ShaktiMat you are also doing something good!
And yes, there are cheaper providers out there - though I would be cautious here:
After all, the tips of the acupressure mat penetrate deep into your skin. With ShaktiMat , these tips are made of ABS plastic. This plastic is approved for medical use, which is why I explicitly opted for the original at the time.
2 months later...
...and I can say without exaggeration:
This mat has changed my life!
In the meantime, I have developed a fixed ritual with the ShaktiMat :
In the evening, I put the ShaktiMat in my bed and put the kids to bed. I brush my teeth quickly and then I go to the ShaktiMat.
In addition, there is still a little meditation or simply relaxing music to the ears.
And I am amazed every time:
No matter how stressful my day was - after just a few minutes on the ShaktiMat, my body shuts down completely & I am deeply relaxed.
Most of the time, after meditation, I just manage to throw the mat out of bed before I immediately fall asleep.
Since I started using the ShaktiMat, I sleep like a baby again!
But that's not all:
My back pain is now blown away. My neck feels much softer and is no longer as hard and tense as before.
Even my family seems to have noticed the change:
"Mom, you are so radiant!" - my little one said to me at breakfast yesterday.
My conclusion:
The ShaktiMat is now my daily companion & I can not imagine it without this miracle mat at all.
Whether in the evening to fall asleep, or simply 15 minutes of deep relaxation for in between - it does so good every time!
I am through the ShaktiMat not only got rid of my back pain and neck problems, but I finally feel relaxed again and can sleep through the night.
The best part? - It's super easy!
Just get on the mat for a few minutes a day and I promise you:
You feel like a new person!
This miracle mat was worth every penny for me and I can really only recommend you to get one - because I will certainly not give mine away!
