What you need to know

  • The Shakti Headband targets key acupressure points around the sides and back of the head to help you:

    • Relieve mild headaches
    • Soothe a tight jaw
    • Maintain focus and mental clarity
    • Ease tension in your face
    • Maximise your downtime

  • There are two key ways to use your Headband:

    1. Across the centre of your forehead to relieve head tension
    2. Under your chin with the spikes targeting tension in your jaw

    A light wrap is all you need for each spike to get started. Wear it for at least 15 minutes and let all that tension melt with each breath.

    If you already own a Shakti Mat or Pillow, adding your Headband to your practice is a great meditation aid. You can also use it for a deeper savasana, or mental clarity at your WFH space.

    Pro tip

    • Take the pressure up a notch by wrapping the Headband under the base of your skull and resting your occipital bone on a yoga block.
    • Experiment with the intensity once you’re used to the sensation by tightening or loosening the strap

  • Pressing spikes into your face might look like the opposite of relaxing, but the Headband is designed to provide subtle‎ pressure. There will be a slight sensation in the beginning, but that’s completely normal. Acupressure doesn’t work if you can’t feel it.

    Circulation will increase and you’ll feel tension “let go” as pressure lifts from your head.

  • Shakti Headbands have Level 1 spikes. Why? Because wrapping spikes is different to lying on them. You can adjust the intensity with compression as opposed to relying on gravity alone. Perfect whether you want to increase the intensity of each spike – or ease off for a therapeutic touch.

    If newly into the acupress good item to began

    Depending on how tight it is worn, can put more pressure as needed, helps relieve tension on forehead and migraines from cluster headaches , though not a permanent fix but definitely a better method than taking pain killers

    Mat and leg wraps

    The initial moment of contact of the mat and tightening of the leg wraps is like - why am I doing this?

    Within a short 20-30 seconds a transformation occurs to, this feels really good and an exquisite relaxation response for the duration of the session !

    A bliss

    I put the band on immediately after receiving the package and the effect came almost straight afterwards - the upper part of my head relaxed, my eyes and face as well.

    I put it on when I start working on the computer to make my brows less tense :) I even tried it when driving the car on a longer distance trip (with very noisy kids in the back) - and it made the experience much better.

    I am very thankful I made this step and ordered it as a present to myself - it really makes my days more joyful 😊

    Thank you Shakti ;)
