Acupuncture mat

[intotheblack]

I purchased a shakti acupuncture mat after my brother and his wife were raving about theirs.

He is a chef with 2 restaurant businesses so gets highly stressed and finds it difficult to switch off at night and get to sleep.
Since using the mat for 20 minutes before bed he has been sleeping like a baby. His wife said the same.  

Since using mine for 1 week, I can confirm it is good to meditate on, since the burning sensation from the pricks kind of forces you to stay still and takes your mind off other things. I have fallen asleep on it a few times.  

It does hurt but In a good way, but I do question how good it is for the skin, since it leaves my back all red and like orange peel afterwards.  Apparently you get used to it over time and eventually it won’t hurt anymore, and is good for overall well being. 

Does anyone else have any experience with one of these mats and have you continued to use it?
