1) Shakti-Mat: Give the gift of relaxation

The ShaktiMat Light for beginners

If you find it hard to relax in everyday life, a ShaktiMat might help. For centuries, the practice of nailbeds has been known in India and is used by fakirs, among others. In a modified form, the spiky pads are also becoming more popular in our latitudes, mainly because they promise relaxation and are supposed to promote well-being.

Don’t worry, the Shaktimat has no nails compared to the traditional model, but hygienic prongs made of plastic. Depending on whether you are a beginner:in or already a professional with the Shaktimat, a model with fewer or with more tips is recommended. The fewer, the easier it is to get used to the mat in the beginning. And the sooner relaxation sets in.
