1. Place the mat or bed of nails on a flat and comfortable surface, such as a bed or floor.
2. Lie down on the mat, ensuring that your body is centered and aligned with the mat's surface.
3. Slowly and gently position yourself, allowing your back, neck, and shoulders to come into contact with the acupressure points or nails on the mat.
4. Relax your body and breathe deeply. Initially, you may feel some discomfort or sharp sensations due to the pressure on the acupressure points, but this should gradually diminish as your body adjusts.
5. Stay on the mat for about 10 to 20 minutes or as long as you feel comfortable. You can start with shorter sessions and gradually increase the duration as your body becomes more accustomed to the sensation.
After your session, carefully and slowly roll off the mat, taking care not to put excessive pressure on any specific area.
It's important to listen to your body and adjust the intensity and duration of your acupressure mat sessions based on your comfort level. If you have any underlying health conditions or concerns, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before using an acupressure mat or bed of nails.
