Okay, here’s my experience with the “jinhsi ascension mats,” told in a casual, blog-style format, using simple HTML tags:
Alright, so I’ve been seeing these “ascension mats” all over my social feeds, and I finally caved and got one. Specifically, I snagged the “jinhsi” brand because, well, I liked the color. It was the light purple for some reason. Let’s dive into what happened from there.
Getting Started
First thing’s first, I unboxed the thing. It came rolled up tight, like a yoga mat, but spikier. Much spikier.
The instructions, such as they were, basically said, “Lie on it.” Sounded simple enough, right? Wrong!
The First Attempt (aka Ouch!)
I laid the mat out on my living room floor. I was wearing a thin t-shirt and some leggings. Then.I bravely (or stupidly) lowered myself onto it.
Whoa! It was like a thousand tiny needles all at once. It wasn’t painful exactly, more like… intense. Really, really intense.
My first thought was, “Nope, not happening.” I almost jumped right back up.
Getting Used to It (Slowly)
But, I’m stubborn. I decided to stick with it, literally. I set a timer for just two minutes, figuring I could handle anything for that long.
- Minute 1: “This is uncomfortable. Why am I doing this? I think i made a mistake”.
- Minute 2: “Okay, it’s… less uncomfortable. Maybe even a little… warm?”
I survived the two minutes! And, weirdly, I didn’t hate it. I felt a little tingly, but also kind of relaxed.
Building Up Tolerance
Over the next few days, I gradually increased the time I spent on the mat. I started by wearing a thicker shirt, then eventually went back to the thin shirt. Then, no shirt!
Here’s what my progression looked like:
- Day 1: 2 minutes (thick shirt)
- Day 2: 5 minutes (thick shirt)
- Day 3: 5 minutes (thin shirt)
- Day 4: 8 minutes (thin shirt)
- Day 5: 10 minutes (no shirt!)
The Results (So Far)
I’ve been using the jinhsi ascension mat for about a week now, and honestly, I’m starting to like it. I usually lie on it before bed, and I do think it’s helping me relax and maybe even sleep a little better. I found the sweet spot for me is on the floor, on my back, bare skin, for about 10 to 15 minutes.
The initial “ouch” factor is definitely still there, but it’s become more of a “good” ouch, if that makes sense. It’s like a deep tissue massage, but with tiny plastic spikes.
Will I become a full-blown ascension mat addict? I guess all there is to do is wait and see. But for now, I’m giving it a thumbs up. It’s weird, it’s a little uncomfortable, but it’s also surprisingly effective.
