In an inspiring episode of the "Rethinking Business." podcast, our CFO & Co-Founder Stephanos Pantelas spoke with Carolina Hinrichsen and Dr. Michael Franz about the philosophy and values of Shakti Mat. He explains how we as a company master the balancing act between economic success and social impact - a challenge that drives us every day.
Many people who have already come into contact with our products report enthusiastically about the positive effects on body, mind and soul. But why do they have such a special effect? What is behind the Shakti magic that we so often talk about?
Listen to it yourself or read the summary below:
The principle behind Shakti magic
Our products are based on the ancient principle of acupressure, a healing art that has its origins in traditional Chinese medicine. Thousands of years ago, healers discovered that targeted pressure on certain points of the body can release blockages and restore the flow of energy in the body. Acupressure is based on the idea of a network of energy pathways - the so-called meridians. If these meridians are blocked, physical and mental complaints can arise.
With this knowledge, we have developed products that exert gentle pressure on specific acupressure points with the help of thousands of small, precise tips. This stimulates the body's own healing processes - blood circulation is promoted, tension is released and stress hormones can be reduced. Regular use of our acupressure products promotes your well-being in a natural way and brings your body and mind back into balance.
