The Yantra Way
Your peace of mind is not a luxury.
It’s an essential part of an active, healthy lifestyle. You’ve got the wisdom to value your well-being. So give your mind the rest it deserves with the ancient stress relief system.
With every use, the Yantra Mat reminds us: the body and mind are not distinct. The condition of one can affect the health of the other. That’s the Yantra Way: living fully – feeling more whole – through experiences that promote our body/mind connection.
Clarity. Focus. Energy. Peace.
- Stressed out?
- Sleeping poorly?
- Experiencing fatigue?
- Headaches?
- Muscle tension?
- Back or neck pain?
You don’t need to be interested in yoga or acupressure in order to use the Yantra Mat. Just lie down, and the mat will take care of your rest.
In minutes, you’ll feel warmth along the parts of your body touching the mat – that’s an increase in blood flow, a natural response to acupressure. Improved circulation means lower blood pressure and better nutrient delivery.
Additionally, the Yantra Mat’s 8,820 acupressure points provoke the kind of clarity and focus that usually comes with prolonged meditation or intense physical activity. A more relaxed state further improves circulation.
Not surprisingly, people fall asleep on the Yantra Mat all the time.
Acupressure
The healing art of acupressure has its roots in traditional Chinese medicine. Scriptures written over 4,000 years ago describe "nail beds" that were used to heal the body and mind.
Says Wikipedia: “Reviews of acupressure clinical trials have been conducted… according to the protocols of evidence-based medicine; for most conditions they have concluded tremendous effectiveness in well-conducted clinical trials.”
Acupressure may even induce the release of endorphins and oxytocin, the body’s own pain-relieving and happiness hormones. And there is some evidence that it increases metabolism as well.
On the back of the Yantra Mat you'll notice an Indian meditation symbol, the Yantra. This word comes from the Sanskrit word yan, which means “form,” and tra, which means “free.”
When not in use, hang up your Yantra Mat with the back side facing you. Fix your gaze on the Yantra symbol to help stimulate and clear your mind. Let your consciousness disappear into the Yantra, and allow your thoughts to float past.
The Yantra symbol will remind you to breathe deeply and relax, even when you're too busy to lie down.
