The most popular way to Shakti is in bed, before sleep. Using the Pillow as an extension of your Shakti Mat lets you target your neck and get even more relaxation from your downtime. Its shape is also perfect for releasing tension in hard-to-reach curves.

20 minutes is all you need for each spike to work its magic. To make it easy, you’ll receive free access to the world’s only acupressure mat app with purchase.

Will it hurt? Yes. But only for a little in the beginning.

Each spike responds to tension in your body, so more tension = more sensation. The initial  “Ouch!” you feel activates your body’s pain response and tells it to send happiness hormones and pain-relief chemicals to the area you’re targeting. If those spikes aren’t sharp enough—or you’re beyond relaxed already—you won’t feel much.

After a few minutes, the tingling sensation fades into a deep, relaxing warmth. The redness is purely a circulation boost. You might even fall asleep.

There are two things to consider when looking at intensities:

‎ 1. Acupressure is personal
‎ 2. Shakti spikes are much sharper than anything else out there.

Like the firmness of a mattress or the pressure of a massage—acupressure is the opposite of ‘one size fits all’. If you go too far in the beginning you’re less likely to build a solid habit. It’s why we offer three intensities that all unlock the benefits of acupressure.

Light

Lying on spikes is weird, so we made this a less intense option. Expect less initial discomfort thanks to more points per spike. Ideal for anyone unsure about acupressure.

Original

Our most popular intensity has fewer points per spike to balance initial discomfort and a much deeper release.

Advanced

Our deepest release isn’t the last stop on your journey—it’s only for the most experienced. Expect a serious sensation to start, with plenty of reward if you can handle it.

Unlike the half-moon shape of Classic and Blissfoam™ acupressure pillows, this version is a much more versatile tool.

Its shape is easy to tuck behind your head, neck and shoulders while you lie on a Shakti Mat. You can also use it behind your lower back, under your legs, or rested under your face.

Rather than filling it with a single piece of foam, it’s now filled with plush recycled Blissfoam™. This lets you ramp the pressure up or down to target your stress and tension with pinpoint accuracy.

Blissfoam™

• 100% plant-based foam—shredded for plushness and moldability in Premium Pillows
• Plush, dense and moldable
• Encased in organic cotton for natural rubber sensitivities
• Soft enough to sink into, yet firm enough to push back

Classic

• The same stuffing used in bedding and furniture
• Lightweight
• Hypoallergenic
• Tried and tested to ensure all the benefits of acupressure

Where acupuncture uses needles to pierce the skin, acupressure uses spikes to press against it. The key difference with a Shakti Pillow is that you can activate multiple acupoints in as many seconds as it takes to lie on them, and you don’t need to book an appointment either.
