THE SAFFRON MAT

In Sanskrit, the colour saffron embodies purity, spiritual enlightenment, self-discipline, and wisdom. It is a symbol of inner transformation, representing the journey toward higher consciousness and deeper truth. Revered in many spiritual traditions, saffron signifies the pursuit of clarity, mindfulness, and enlightenment, guiding individuals toward a path of self-realization and profound wisdom.

Featuring 5750 beautiful Lotus spikes our Chakra-mat is filled with coconut fibre. A must for anyone who is stressed, anxious, struggles with sleep or suffers from aches and pains -  not to mention those who worry about skin-tone and cellulite. Targeting specific Chakra points throughout the body, balance is restored to our energy centres. Acupressure is said to enhance spiritual alinement and clear emotional blockages and an overall sense of wellbeing by supporting the flow of energy through the chakras.

Chakra-mat is a deep massage device for anyone who wishes to promote a healthy lifestyle. The benefits include increased circulation, toning, muscle relaxation, improved mood, detoxification, improved sleep, pain relief, stress and relaxation.

Chakra-mat with it's 5750 spikes provides a higher density of pressure points compared to mats with fewer spikes, resulting in a more intense acupressure experience.

How to use: Please note that it may take some adjustment getting used to the feeling of the spikes, start out with a thin cloth over your mat.

Back massage; Place your Chakra-mat on a sofa, bed or floor - bear in mind the harder the surface the deeper the massage, we suggest starting on a softer surface and using a thin sheet or similar until your body gets familiar with Acupressure. Slowly lie on the mat, if you have the pillow place this under the nape of your neck, if not you may use a small pillow of your own for comfort - the Chakra-mat should cover your whole back. Relax for 10-20 minutes. Getting rid of tension and aches and pains generally takes around 10 minutes but we are all different! Once you are ready to use your mat with no cover the benefits will deepen and don't worry it's normal for your back to be red at the end of a session as your circulation will have improved.

Foot massage; A foot massage from your Chakra-mat is a daily essential! Stand at your place or work, the kitchen sink, the stove if cooking risotto or simply close your eyes and be thankful for the day - place your bare feet gently on the pillow ( if you have not used a Chakra-mat before perhaps use clean socks to get used to the beautiful Lotus spikes ). Keep your feet gently pressed for 5-10 minutes and feel your stress slipping away.

Tummy massage, cellulite and toning; We find a good time to do this is after a workout or a shower. A tummy massage on your Chakra-mat will promote blood flow to your skin, reducing bloating and helping to keep your mid-section toned. Simply lie with your tummy on the mat on a firm surface for 5-15 minutes. To aid circulation, tone and combat cellulite simply lie with your thighs fully on the mat gently turning to expose all 4 sides to the Lotus flowers aiming at around 5 minutes per side. Pop your headphones on and journey back to that last vacation!

Deep sleep; Sleep deprivation is so common these days and that is the reason that Chakra-mat came about. Acupressure stimulates the release of endorphins and oxytocin thus inducing a feeling of calm, the balance in our energy is restored, muscles relax and the nervous system calms down. Place your mat on your sheet, slowly lie down, you can add your Chakra-mat pillow or if you don't have one use a normal pillow, ensure that your legs, back, shoulders, inner wrists and arms are in contact with the mat and relax, once you start to feel sleep REMOVE the mat onto the floor - it's not good for your wellbeing if you go to sleep on it and wake in the night as you roll over on the spikes!
