Basic use:

Gently lie down on your Pax Vita. Try to distribute weight evenly over the contact points. Sit up close to the mat and roll down onto it. During the first 1-5 minutes you will most likely experience a prickly feeling which is mildly uncomfortable. This sensation will gradually fade away. Breathe deeply and relax.

Even those who have a low pain threshold can use Pax Vita. The release of endorphins and hormones is a reaction to stimulation so expect a little initial discomfort. Listen to your body’s signals. If the pain you are experiencing becomes too much, sit up and place something light between your Pax Vita mat and your skin (a pillow case, sheet, linen or cotton T-shirt) When you become used to the sensations you can use your Pax Vita without a protective layer.

One common experience after a session on Pax Vita is feeling energetic but tranquil.

A feeling of satisfaction and clarity.

The first 1-5 Days use between 10-15minutes.
You can chose the time of day that suits your lifestyle. You can experience a range of reactions: some first time users fall asleep. Others get an energy boost immediately after use. Your body will adjust itself to what and where you need attention once you start using your Pax Vita more frequently. We recommend you drink a glass of water after use.

When you feel ready we recommend about 20 – 45minutes.
You should relax and enjoy the session, time is not important and there is no need to stick to a schedule. The time you spend on your Pax Vita can and should be restricted by your senses not by a timeframe. Always relax and let yourself go. Don't worry if you discover that you have used it for longer than we recommend. What matters is that you feel good after a treatment. You can use Pax Vita any time of day even before bedtime.

– Use it when it feels right. In the same, whenever it feels right, take a Pax Vita break. Most users treat themselves daily for maximum effect. People with autoimmune disorders appear to get the best results with daily use, preferably in the morning.

We recommend you drink water after each use. Take a few minutes to re-adjust after use.
 

Variation of use.

	Back Lay your Pax Vita on an even surface. Place a rolled up towel or pillow under your neck. Lower yourself onto the mat so your bare back is in contact with the points. This stimulates acupressure points along the spine and over the back helping with back problems and pain relief.
	Stomach As above but with your chest down, slowly lower yourself onto the mat and use a pillow/towel for your head for comfort. This can improve your metabolism and loosen tightness in the diaphragm and respiratory muscles.
	Face Fold your Pax Vita in two places so it forms an S from the side and use it as a pillow: carefully lay down with your cheek against the mat. To ease any discomfort, use a thin sheet between your skin and the mat. It may leave imprints of the points for up to an hour depending on the hydration of the skin etc, so exercise caution if you are going out soon after. This method also loosens tightness in the neck and jaw. It can also produce Collagen
	Feet Lay your Pax Vita on the floor and gently step on to it. Stand for as long as you wish, we recommend 5-10 min. You can start by wearing thin socks to reduce the initial discomfort. A gentler method is to place your Pax Vita on the floor next to a chair, sit down on the chair and place your feet on your Pax Vita. This can stimulate acupressure points in the feet and helps to stimulate the body and internal organs.
	Lower back and Bottom Put your Pax Vita on a chair, making sure the mat covers the seating area and let the remaining part follow the back of the chair. Gently sit down. This can ease general tension.

Make your own "well being" program:

With the above basic positions in mind we suggest you make your own "well being" program to suit your individual needs. These are suggestions and you do not have to do them all, only what you feel comfortable with.

Enjoy your Life in Peace – Pax Vita!
