If you’ve heard about the wonders of Acupressure, you may also have heard about the famous acupressure pillows and mats. In this beginner’s guide, we’re exploring how to use the acupressure pillow and unlock its benefits.

The perfect way to dip your toe into the rewarding art of acupressure. This product is a fantastic way to relieve tension in your neck and shoulders while encouraging mindfulness for a better night’s sleep.

How To Use The Shakti Pillow



Use the acupressure pillow in bed, before sleep. Best used in conjunction with the Shakti Mat, this provides a full body massage experience that stimulates the acupressure points in both your back and neck. 15 minutes is all you need!

At first, the pillow may feel uncomfortable, but once your neck acclimatises to the sensation, you should feel at ease and eventually feel great!

It’s designed to give your circulation a boost. The unique ‘spiky’ discs create a sensation that inspires mindfulness. Making you aware of your body, after 10 minutes you should reach a state of blissful relaxation in your mind.

Once you’re done, you should feel like you’ve had a neck and shoulder massage, with the tension lifted and your body relaxed.

Meanwhile, the 6,000 spikes on the Shakti Mat work to massage your back muscles.

Where Do You Place Acupressure Pillows?

Place it at the top of your Shakti Mat, against your normal bed pillow. Lie flat on your back with the pillow under your neck. Its half-moon design means the cushion should tuck neatly under your neck.

Ethically and mindfully made in India, Shakti is an increasingly popular acupressure brand. It’s ideal for beginners, particularly with the softer spikes available on the Shakti Light Mat.
