Yin and yang represent the balance of energies in the body, crucial for overall health. In relation to acupressure mats, they help harmonize these energies, promoting relaxation and well-being by addressing both the calming (yin) and energizing (yang) aspects of the body. The practice of using acupressure mats aligns with the principles of yin and yang by stimulating specific points that can enhance energy flow and restore balance. By applying pressure to these points, users can experience a release of tension and an increase in vitality, effectively integrating the calming and invigorating properties of both energies.

The purpose of acupuncture is to stimulate the nerves and circulation of the body through (pain) stimuli. This cure is known for the use of needles. Although the modern acupressure mat doesn’t contains needles, on the front side it’s covered with plastic spikes or acupressure points.

The back is decorated with a print of the 7 chakras. These become visible when you fold the mat. He is then also portable as a bag and therefore easily transportable.

After you have unfolded the mat you can lie upon it, flat with your back. This may feel uncomfortable in the beginning. As you get used to the feeling and try to relax, your body weight will spread evenly over the plastic spikes. As a result of the pressure on your skin, on your nerves and your bloodcirculation, you experience a natural feeling of ‘high’.
