Acupressure mat
Many small pressure points on the skin that stimulate my circulation and settle my body into rest.

An inexpensive one is all you need
There are countless mats in every price range. I bought my first one in Spain at Alehop for 9.90 €, and it is still great today. In Berlin I then stood in front of a huge selection and felt completely overwhelmed by the prices. Maybe the more expensive ones are better, I did not have the money and I am still happy with my inexpensive one today.
Why I use it
A short overview of what I notice in myself. Described honestly, without promises.
- It stimulates circulation, especially when movement is barely possible
- During a Crash it eases my nerve pain
- The strong stimulus overrides the other pain, as if I were tricking my brain
- My body releases endorphins, which calms my nervous system
- My inner restlessness eases
The moments when it works for me
Directly on the skin
With a little oil, which makes the sensation more pleasant and the practice easier.
For pain
Especially during a Crash, when the nerve pain is intense. The strong stimulus often overrides it.
For inner restlessness
When I cannot settle into rest, sometimes simply when I am bored.
