When I got my acupressure mat, it felt like pure excruciation when I tried to lie on my back on it. I imagined it was what it must feel like to lie down on a bed of nails. I tried again the next day, and I was surprised to find I was able to lie my whole back down on it for at least a little bit. After a few days I was able to lie on it for the full recommended time: 30 - 45 minutes. Now I could lie on it indefinitely. And there have been times when I've gone into such a deep state of relaxation and transformation that I've lie on it for 1.5+ hours.
The acupressure mat is like a metaphor for life: relax into the discomfort. I've experienced such deeply meditative, profoundly transformative, and spiritual states. Sometimes I visit the town I grew up in in spirit. Sometimes I have conversations with my spirit team. Being on that acupressure mat is my time to go deep, deep, deep into myself. I discover tension I'm holding in my body that I otherwise wouldn't have been aware of. Discovering that tension in each part of my body unlocks a whole journey of healing, transformation, and upleveling.
Deep healing on all levels of my being happens in those deepest states of relaxation. As I relax these different parts of my body that I've held tense, energy flows to them, and they receive the life force that they need.
Do you have any experience with acupressure? Have you ever tried an acupressure mat before?
I've been thinking of getting one for a while actually
They're really cheap and priceless.
any recommendations some are rly cheap and some expensive does it make any difference at all?
Most likely even cheaper ones are good, but there are differences. Some have sharper/larger spikes, so they can be more effective, but might be too intimidating for those who haven't tried before.
You can affect how strong the effect is.
Put the mat on softer surface so it's not as strong.
Put the mat on a hard surface so it is stronger.
Have a thin shirt on so it's not as strong.
Be topless so it's stronger.
yeah there is probably a small difference I think I'll start with the cheap one and see how I find it first, I have been thinking about them for a year or two! maybe this is a sign.
I just bought the cheapest one on amazon and have been using it for over a year. But someone else in the comments just recommended a good company.
We also have one and even two neck pillows, since it helps me a lot when I have an headache. There's also a very sustainable brand selling them. They even support women projects in India. They're not so cheap, but besides that the quality is awesome. I can drop a link if you're interested.
@brightstar, my partner bought one of these ages ago and I've seen it sitting around the house but haven't thought to use it. Now I'm going to prioritise it! Thank you :)
Come back and let me know how it went! I'm curious to know if you can tolerate it at all the first time. It's also really invigorating to stand on the mat! 🔥
