Ajna Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set - Ideal for Back Pain Relief and Neck Pain Relief - Advanced Stress Reliever - Muscle Relaxant - Free Tote Bag

I already own the Ajna Deluxe Mat and Pillow, which are sold separately, and use them daily. I am so glad that they have now released a lighter version of the Mat and Pillow, which are sold as a set, providing me with a travel version of the mat and pillow I already love.I am 62, have sciatica, spinal arthritis and nerve damage in my lower spine. I use the mat and pillow to aid with pain relief and increase in circulation. I use the travel Acupressure Mat in my car, and also on my chair at the kitchen table during meals. I am a knitter and needle pointer and use the mat behind my back on the couch while working. I use the pillow on the floor, to help with the circulation in my feet. I also use the pillow behind my neck to ease tension in my neck muscles.I practice yoga on a daily basis and use the mat and pillow for savasana and also during meditation. I find them both very effective on focusing my attention to the moment and not letting my mind wander so much.I receive a twice monthly massage and recently my masseuse commented on how relaxed my back muscles were becoming and keep on doing what I was doing. I told her about the Ajna mat and pillow and how I have been using them daily.I recently experienced an out of county bereavement and did travel with my original mat and pillow, I used it at the end of very intense days to relieve the tension and stress in my back and neck. How much more convenient it would have been to have had a lighter mat and pillow to travel with. I can see using the lighter version of the mat in a variety of locations that I would not use the original heavier mat.The only difference I can see between the original and the new travel version is the internal structure. The new travel version is a pillow form interior which the original is buckwheat and lavender in the pillow, and coconut husk in the mat. The same quality in the external cover and the lotus spikes is identical. The lighter version of the mat and pillow also weigh less than the original making it easier to transport in a suitcase or overhead luggage.I highly recommend this product, the price point is amazing for the quality of product that is produced. I am also impressed by the company policy of their ethically sourced materials their commitment to planting a tree for every product sold.

I’m looking into going deep with my yoga practice and I thought this was a perfect addition to my other yoga accessories. I got back from a trip and my Ajna Mat arrived. I laid in it right away because I was so tired from the long flight and layover. I didn’t want to get off of it! Really really love the pressure and the comfort. I can feel the tip poked in my skin yet it is very comfortable and feel so good!This is a really brilliant idea. I can take this on a flight as I travel a lot or use it in the car for long drive. Just really love it! It’s a high quality material and loved the Navy Blue color.

I love this mat/pillow combination! It has just the right amount of pressure and when you lie back on it, feels like heaven. I like to use it either with bare skin or a light t-shirt. I feel energized after 15 minutes on it. I actually had purchased a different brand about a year ago, but the pillow was a different shape. I prefer the Ajna pillow so much more, the shape of it and softness of it is just right to place under my head or the small of my back. I'll have to get another set for my husband since he keeps taking mine. Also, thinking about it for Christmas gifts. It's so unique and just the right price point for so many people I need to buy for.

I have 2 mats and pillow sets from them. I use one at home and one for clients. I have been so happy with the style, design, eco friendliness, quality of this company. I have used other companies, they can seem cheep even when they are more expensive. Go for this company. be even more conscious of your purchase with ajna

I so want this to help me, I've used it two weeks straight. I have severe, chronic back pain, constant neck pain, headaches and Fibro. I tried with a thin shirt the first time and your really don't feel anything wearing a shirt. Then my 15 pound dog layed on me, that helped with the extra weight. I then used directly on my skin, you do have to be very careful and lay down slowly. Once you've adjusted, it's not that bad. I lay on it about 30 minutes, hoping for maximum benefit.I'd say getting up is harder as you need to move slowly as the spikes release from your body. Now that hurts, then it feels itchy for about 10 minutes or so - it must be sending some blood flow. I'm just not getting relief at this point, I may need longer than others because of the amount of pain I have. I only use once a day, right before bedtime as that's just the easiest way for me. I'll continue to try it, if things get better, I'll come back and update

The directions say to begin by leaving your shirt on which I had planned on doing anyways being a newbie to acupressure. But with my shirt on For about 10 minutes I’m thinking “This isn’t so bad, what’s all the hype?” . So I take my shirt off and carefully maneuver myself onto the mat, and then I’m like “Yikes!!! Without a shirt these spikes are unbearable!!!”. So now my shirt is back on and I have laid here with the pillow and mat for about 20 minutes and my backside is beginning to feel warm so I’m assuming I’m experiencing increased blood flow. I purchased this mat for my sciatica , the cost is less than two visits to my chiropractor so hopefully it will save me from having to go to the chiropractor. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞 Oh, and leave your socks on too when initially standing on the mat!!! I’m sure with regular use I will build up a tolerance to being shirtless and barefoot as other users have stated , but for now ... I’ll leave them on 😎

As marketed, this was a very relaxing first experience. Granted, I had like...two and a half glasses of wine, but I also had Chipotle, so I figure that's net neutral. Regardless, I chilled on this for 20 min. and felt like a new man. Do it.
