"I have had a Shakti Mat for about 5 months. I have found a routine that I really like a lot. In the evening, I lie on my mat without any clothes on in bed. It hurts a little at first, but after a few minutes I feel a pleasant feeling of relaxation. Before I fall asleep I roll up the Shakti Mat and place it on the floor. I fall quickly asleep. Nowadays, I have a deeper, more restful sleep since I started using the Shakti Mat, and I feel more rested in the morning. When I wake up, I sit on the end of the bed, place my feet on the mat, and carefully allow my whole body weigh down on the points on the mat. It hurts more than lying on my back on it, but I have gotten used to this way, too. I then stretch my arms up above my head, clasp my hands with the index fingers pointing up, and do some Fire Breathing for a few minutes while tracing the flow of energy from my soles up through the body and out through the index fingers. This routine refreshes me quickly, and afterwards, I notice how mindfully aware the soles of my feet have become. The feeling of real groundedness normally lasts for several hours."
