Shakti Shala

I purchased the Shakti mat and used it for the first time today, along with the first guided meditation in the series, and was able to stay on the mat (with bare skin) for the entire meditation, actually enjoying it!! Not only that, but the woman’s voice was very relaxing, which is SO important in a guided meditation! LOVE LOVE LOVE the mat - shocked to have felt what I assume was endorphin and oxytocin release, because I felt amazingly light and happy near the end of the meditation!!

This has greatly helped my neurodivergent self with winding down. For my other neurodivergent folks out there who are extremely sensitive. I definitely recommend using this with clothes or a blanket first and gently warming up to it because it can be overstimulating at first. I feel a lot of blocked energy but can’t always afford to get acupuncture regularly. This has been a game changer.

Really enjoying this app as a beginner to shakti. The voice and background music/sound waves are very soothing and I love the guided meditation, with focus on the sensations my body is feeling as I progress through the practice. However, I find myself wishing for more! I use it pretty much every single night, as I’ve noted may others do, and my only wish is that there were more sessions available here. But what’s available is beautifully presented, high quality sound and easy to navigate the app.
