Shakti Mat Background

The man behind the mat - How did it begin?

Om Mokshananda a massage therapist and Reiki healer was travelling and found the most beautiful and harmonious place in the Himalayas. After a long time spent in the Himalayas practicing mysticism, yoga and meditation he found that nothing is complete until all fellow human beings can experience living in deep happiness. During the past few years he had exclusively been focusing on different yoga practices and meditations.

Returning from the mountains he created a bed of nails with the help of the ancient Indian knowledge, Vedic science which was recorded 5-7000 years ago.

The bed of nails was named Shakti which means energy, power, creativity and compassion, which I hope it will give you all.

The History of the bed of nails

The bed of nails is an ancient tool with its roots in Indian mysticism. With its origin, dating back thousands of years, the bed of nails is a well tested tool for healing the body and releasing emotional, physical and mental block-ages. It has been use by Indian yogis (yoga practitioners) thoughout time to attain perfection of body and mind. The bed of nails was, on the contrary to popular belief, not a macho toy for the Indian fakir to prove resistance to pain. The true purpose of the bed of nails was misunderstood by media and the general public due to the seclusion and reticence of the yogis.

The Chinese scriptures which date back more than 4000 years tell us about treatments with nails to balance body and mind. No one knows for sure when the bed of nails was first used to heal the body and raise consciousness. An approximate estimate is at least several thousand years.
