Shakti Mat™ (The Original) also referred to as a "nail bed" or "spike mat"
Lie in a comfortable position so that your skin rests in contact with the points. Relax and breathe deeply. Initially, 10-15 minutes spent on the mat may be enough, but you may gradually increase your sessions to 20-40 minutes. It is not dangerous to spend more time on the mat, or to fall asleep on the mat. Use it when you have time and feel the urge, every day if possible.
Neck and Back
Place a rolled up towel under the Shakti Mat™ so that it shapes itself appropriately for the neck. Correctly positioned, it should give support from the back of the neck all the way to the base of the skull.
Chest and Stomach
Lie face down on the Shakti Mat™, but please use caution. This can be a very intense, but powerful position. You should be accustomed to back treatment first.
Side
Lie on your side, with the Shakti Mat™ underneath your hip and thigh areas, turning over midway through your treatment.
Face and Jaw
Lie on the Shakti Mat™ so that your face is touching, rotating to your other side midway through your meditation. If your skin is sensitive, place a thin cotton cloth between the mat and your skin. Clenching jaw and gritting teeth can be alleviated, and as a result a new shine to the whole face appears.
Feet
By standing on the Shakti Mat™, this position works on the reflexology zones which have an overall effect on the body. Using the Shakti MatTM on the soles of the feet improves stability and balance. The feeling of having both feet on the ground increases with this position.
