Instructions

Safety:

The nails will not pierce your skin (obviously, given the correct and careful use of the device 😉). Slowly place your foot flat in the middle of a board.
All nails have identical length, which allows your weight to be distributed evenly. Don’t jump on the boards, don’t rush on or off of them.

Main safety tips:
• Place the boards on a yoga mat or other non-slippery surface.
• ALWAYS close the boards right after getting off of them to avoid accidents.
• Nail standing practice is not recommended for people with feet wounds, epilepsy, pregnancy and women during periods.
• Keep away from children and pets.

Instructions:

1. You can wear socks when getting started with the practice. Once you feel ready, you will be able to go barefoot.
2. Do not aim for a specific time interval. Let the sensations guide you. Start with 30-60 seconds, adding 1 minute in each session. The pain disappears after about 5 to 10 minutes of standing. Gradually, you will be able to increase the duration of sessions to 15 minutes or more.
3. Prepare yourself by doing yoga, meditation and breathwork to warm up your body and clear your mind.
4. Set a goal for your practice to motivate yourself.
5. Place your nail boards on a yoga mat.
6. Before stepping on the boards, lean onto something to support your weight (use a chair, desk or someone’s hand).
7. Exhaling, slowly place one foot on the middle of one board, then the other foot on the second board. Avoid rushing or jumping. When ready, gently let go of your support.
8. While standing on the boards, focus on your breath. Audible long exhales and the “Om” sound will help you to release tension in muscles and thoughts. Keep your intention in mind.
9. Once you get over the 5-10 minute threshold, the pain will vanish. Mind-chatter will dissolve into a silent calmness. Your whole body will relax. This ultra-presence is so worth it!
10. When you are done, use the support to gently step off the boards, one foot at a time, just the way you stepped on them. Again, don’t rush or jump.
11. Don’t walk right after the practice. Sit down near your boards, close your eyes and meditate for some time. Focus on tingling and vibrations rising from your feet up the whole body. Gently massage your soles. The sensation in your feet will disappear in about 5 to 10 minutes.
12. Always close your nail boards after use to avoid accidents.
13. Enjoy the focused mind and healthy energized feeling in your body. Use this calm and relaxed mindset to tackle daily challenges and reach your goals.
