#Shakti #ShaktiMat #AussieReview
Thanks so much for your reviews on this! I’ve placed an order for one and I can’t wait to try it. I struggle to sleep (don’t know if you can tell considering it’s 1:30am 😂😭). My mat can’t come soon enough !
+Hannah Tannous Music I’m so glad you found the videos helpful!! Oh dear 😅 hope you got to sleep shortly after! Let me know how it goes when you get it! 😊😊
Hey Hannah! Did you find any benefits? Thanks a lot!
Any updates on the use?
I’m currently using it for the first time on my back while watching this video and I gotta say it’s absolutely wonderful. The first minute is painful but it slowly gets better and better.
Same. It's crazy how intense it is right at first. But very wild how comfortable it gets.
I love my mat. It takes my mind of worries and relaxes me. I’ve fallen asleep on mine on the lounge floor several times.
A great place to chill with some great music.
Lordy lord I’m literally laying on my Shakti Mat and I was literally dying until I heard your velvety voice saying it’s going to be ok 😂
Thanks for the upload 🌈
Love love love my Shakti mats...I have all three weights, as well as the neck roll. I have four scoliosis curves, as well as do lots of twisting and rotating throughout my workday as a busy and well-respected massage therapist, and the Shakti mat is one of my go-to's for daily self care. I even bring a mat in the car, for 20-40 minutes at a stretch on the mat or using the neck roll
down my spine. Works great and cleans very easily. I recommend it to anyone who loves self care or who is just beginning their self care journey.
Which of the three weights do you like the most?
Haha, thought you had a great voice before I knew you were a voice actor. Its a great tool with a multitude of benefits. Not only because of the physiological responses such as lowered heartrate and increased temperature, also heart rate variability increases. Patients also report a decrease in stress and anxiety and an increase in energy. Through target pain relief, chronic pain and worst pain intensity is reduced because of resensitization of pain receptors which have stored pain memory. You can reverse it by stimulating those receptors again and thus erase pain pathways in the body.
Watching this while I am on my advanced Shakti mat. I have been using it for more thana year and I love it.
Me too.
Would you still recommend it? Does it help with back pain or is it just for relaxing?
I love this mat. Oddly enough, I didn't find it uncomfortable the first time. I hear that's very common though.
Thanks for this update two months in. 👍🏻
Have the Black Shaktimat and pillow. Love it ♥️.
Takes out shoulder and upper back stress and improves quality of sleep.
Hope that you'll see it. Is the pillow really needed?
@@travellingengineer4509 if you hold stress in your shoulders then I would say yes.
A friend who originally did not buy the pillow ordered it later.
My husband and I both have pillows.
@@carolharris894 Thank you very much! I can't wait to return from vacation and order it. Due to my work, wearing a heavy helmet all the time, my neck and shoulders are killing me
Nice one. Helpful insight. Thanks man!
I had problems with sleep the past 5 years. I work really hard all day and im so busted and tired beacuse of work couldnt sleep until 2-3 am. Ordered it beacuse of you and its working wonders. I sleep full 8 hours now 😄
Matjaž Majes It makes me so happy to hear that you’re getting good sleep now! So glad I could help 😊
I bought one but wasn’t sure if it would work and worth the pain. I’m inspired now to use it regularly as you’ve described. Ta! 🙏
Thanks for the review, babe. You're stunning, and your voice is silk.
I am a male nurse from Germany. I am slim and 185cm tall. Because of that my back and my neck hurts every day. When it’s too much I am using my mat and it’s gone. My body is feeling warm and the pain is gone.
I've just started using mine :) finding meditation really helps breathe through the pain haha
+Chloe Verran it’s so good hey! Especially when it’s a bit of a struggle at the start 😅
how's it been, one year later?
Look, I'm not loving it yet, but I'll trust your optimism. Hopefully, you're not just a sadist
Lol! I have grown to like mine and I'm not a masochist, haha! It's not always comfortable but my back pain is worse.
Thanks for your review, i have been thinking to buy one since I continue have tension back and neck. Question, do you the pillow from shaktimat for your neck?
I do have it but I rarely use it, my sister loves it though!
Karl Svikis you still use it after a year? Do u use it with tshirt on? Arent u supposed to use it without clothes on?
Just tried for the first time for around 10 mins. It was like a nice pain. Will stick to this
I practice the Wim Hof breathing method while laying on the Shakti Mat.....amazing!!!!
Great idea!
What time of day do you do your wim hof breathing methods?
I downloaded the app, but haven't gotten into the practice yet, gonna buy this may tho and may try that combo!!
itscooltobeyou I usually do it in the morning or before bed. The breathing really helps with easing the initial shock of the mat. I love it. Feel so relaxed afterwards.
@@tonytrinidad5294 okay!! Tha k you for your reply! I can't wait to try this!!
Duuuude how do you become a voice actor ? People keep telling me I've got a golden voice for certain things and I'd love to give it a go. Cheers !
Find one near you. Offer him a dinner / and or 250$. Then talk and do what he tells you.
@@Fotounternehmer wtf
@@hhhisme Why wtf? When someone calls me and asks for a dinner and offers $250 on how to become a photographer or event manager I am happy to share my knowledge.
I got distracted looking at your Chivas and Auchentoshen and skyy vodka 😂😂
I've got a decent collection going 😂😂 you've got good taste 😉
Karl Svikis you have a great taste in liquor and thanks to you I now have a Shakti Mat
JVCXB 95 Amazing!! I hope you like it! It’s done wonders for me
I love mine. I call it my Prayer Rug. Good stuff😁
Let me know if you have any questions about the mat! I’m happy to answer anything :)
And if you get the mat, how are you finding it!
Can you just sleep on it for hours?
Dhustie when you get used to it it just stops being painful, I choose not to because I sleep on my front but I know some people that do go to sleep on theirs 😊
I got it for my partner this Christmas and I used it for 30 mins topless last night, my god the pain! The first time I tried it with my top on and it was bearable.
I was listening to a David Attenborough audio book to try and keep me calm but it was hard haha, I only wanted to do 20 mins but I couldn't get up and my partner wasn't around to help me up 🤣🤣 i was stuck haha.
Going to try again tonight.
So does the pain just lessen or dissappear over time? Its that initial stinging that puts me off haha, felt like I had been burned xx
Can you use it in the morning instead?
Have you ever tried lying on it shirtless?
Is it just me or do you look so much healthier in this video compared to the opening for the Shakti.. could be just me but you look like an entirely different man
What are the differences between the levels? 1-2-3? Harder spikes? Longer spikes?
The spikes get sharper and fewer the higher you go in the levels.
The second time I used mine I fell asleep on it. That was unexpected for sure, but I guess proof of concept.
Hey! I am looking to buy this as a gift. Do you recommend getting the storage bag they sell separately or does it store away fine on its own? Ta :)
+Sara J I personally don’t have the storage bag! I find it’s fine hanging on a hook on the back of my door, but I’m aware not everyone has that! If they’ve got space they’ll be fine without but up to you!
I just turn mine upside down and leave it on the ground. Keep it upside down so you don’t accidentally step on it by mistake 😂😂😩😩
I just fold mine and keep it in a drawer
So I'm sat here with my boiling hot back, unsure whether I liked it or not haha first time use
How do you find it now?
I like the feeling that I get after a 20 min session. So relaxed and comfy.
The sessions themselves is relaxing in their own way, past the first minute or so.
Got mine in mail. I literally cannot feel a thing… level 2 spikes. Nothing. Not even a tingle after 10 minutes
Can anyone help me? My girlfriend just got me this mat but I've just found out I may not be able to use as I have high platelet count in my blood. We thought the mat would help with circulation but I've just read that I shouldn't be using it if I have coagulation problems. Is it really that bad if I use the mat? Very disappointed if that's the case.
Really sorry I’m not actually sure! Can you consult your doctor about it?
@@KarlSvikis yes will do thanks for the reply!
You're gorgeous 😍
Hi Karl. Do you know anything about muscle Tension dysphonia. I am an actor as as well. Thanks
PJ Ojo hello! I’m afraid I don’t, I’ve not heard of it!
My record is non stop 9 hours lying on my back on a similar acupressure mat-- also used spiky pillar for couple of hours as I was on the mat.
How was it?
@@ask9087 it was easy
@@MoMindSetCrypto what were your benefits?
@@ask9087 can't really report of any benefits.
@@MoMindSetCrypto sounds like a good use of time then
I knocked out using it for 30 minutes
I'm laying on this mat and it hurts so bad 😭
MzCAGOMEA Just chill like 4-5 minutes then its gets really warm and comfortable 💪
Should I jump into level 3 right away??? 😂
It's not painfull at all.
That bass hum in the background is unfortunate, I really wanted to watch this but misophonia meant I couldn't make it through :(
Sorry about that! Edited this on my laptop speakers and I couldn't hear the low ends to make any changes to it!
Remove om symbol
I just tried using mine with no shirt on and I couldn't get past 2 minutes (with many adjustments) I tried to do mind over matter but omg I am mentally weak right now
Keep going with it. It’s painful to begin with but push past it and I promise it’ll help 😊
A voice actor should know about low-pass filters.. Ugh.
Hey! Sorry about that, had only been voice acting for a year at the time and had done none of my own editing or recording before! Had just worked in studios. I know all about it now but this video was just edited on the laptop I had at the time using the laptop speakers which didn't let me hear the low end. I can hear it now and it's annoying! Hope you still got something out of the video.
You are beautiful
Paid review?
Maybe. Anyway I just got one and Im not paid. It works beautifully. first 1-2 minutes pain. After thats gets pretty comfy. Can shift around a bit for more targeted therapy. After 20 minutes I get off, and then I feel all loose as a goose, like after a massage. Very relaxed, easier to fall asleep. This feeling lasts for about an hour.
Nah just a happy customer!
Shameless plug
So what? Think people work for free on youtube?
