“There's nothing like jewellery "with a purpose"....I absolutely LOVE the look and design of my Komuso Shift. The fact that I can then periodically use it to come back to my breath and get centred is a total bonus. Thank you for creating this beautiful product!! NN”
“My partner is a former paramedic with severe anxiety. He’s been told to breathe through straws so many times, and it never worked, no matter the diameter of the straw. As a martial artist, I had heard of monks using this type of technique using reeds, so I thought I’d give it a try if it had even a chance of helping him. Just hours after he got it, he needed to use it and it prevented a full-blown panic attack. He used it three times that first week. As a paramedic, he understands the dangers of hyperventilation and CO2 loss, which the Shift prevents by helping regulate your breathing. He’s also used it to bring down his heart rate by ~50 bpm within two minutes. He’s told me that even feeling it around his neck helps give him comfort, knowing it’s there if he needs it.
Just today, I had a lot of pent-up anxiety and a racing heartbeat. He let me use his Shift and oh my god, it works. Worked in minutes after I had already taken a rescue anti-anxiety medication, and had been just getting by with practicing my coping strategies and meditations for an hour. I still felt very anxious, but my heart rate was far lower and I was able to return to meditation and affirmations, using the Shift as necessary as I felt my heart rate start to rise again. It makes regulating your breathing far easier in times when asking your brain to regulate ANYTHING is a tall order.
I will be getting my own, soon. Paramedic- and martial artist-approved! Thank you, Komuso.”
“I have received the product after 20 days and now am travelling, when I have sent an email they are asking me to reship the product to that address and asking me to bear the shipping costs not even giving a shipping label so that I could ship the product, customer service is not good, I can't review on the product since I haven't used it.”
“Only had it for 3 days, got my daughter who vapes one too. The breathing concentration does help with my anxiety. Thinking that will make a big improvement alone in my world. Hopefully I can quit smoking too🙏🤞”
“I'm returning the product it doesn't really relax or take away my anxiety or urges to smoke. I have tried everything that mentioned on the video they sent me. But nothing I really wanted to like this but honestly it's just an overpriced metal stick.”
“I am absolutely thrilled with my Komuso Classic Shift! It's very well made and helps me focus on meditative breath. I definitely recommend it to those hoping to ease anxiety and even quit vaping or smoking!”
“I’m still debating on how I feel with this. It does help but it has already chipped some of the paint off and I haven’t dropped it and take really good care of it. Would recommend for others to st least try.”
Hi Nickellina, we're so sorry about the issue with chipping. This is certainly not typical as the ceramic finish is super durable. We would be happy to replace it free!
“Innovative and thought-provoking device. I use them mainly for box-breathing and the shifts work very well by concentrating the exhalation breath. When used correctly the breaths will calm you.”
“I love it. However, the person for whom I purchased it dismissed it within 10 seconds. I'm using it for myself and I think it's a great way to redirect my focus. I suppose some people have no vision.”
“The design is nice but the pricing is off. Should be 1/3 as expensive for this product, in my opinion. I’m going to use it to try to help get away from vaping, even though it is not pitched as a cessation tool. If it ends up helping, it will be well worth the price!”
“Highly recommend! I started smoking again in the past year, after having quit for 16. With vaping being practically odorless and convenient, it’s been harder to quit.
My personal health is important to me, and quitting smoking was a must- I figured I can’t NOT afford to purchase this and try it out. My health and freedom from a bad habit is definitely worth $85.
In the first day, I reduced cravings by 50%, and have continued to cut back each day since. I’m confident that in a week, I’ll be done with smoking.
I’ll definitely continue using Shift even after, as it’s a nice reminder to engage in mindful breathing exercises. It’s high quality craftsmanship makes it a nice accessory and I’ve recommended it to others already!”
“I love this device. I haven’t taken it off since I received it. It really helps with anxiety and I’m hoping to get off of vapes with it too. Thank you”
“I appreciate the design and quality of Komuso … in particular, the Shift. I like the brand, have recommended Komuso to others and have purchased as a gift.”
“My Komuso is a beautiful piece that I’ve used several times a day since I received it. Even when I don’t choose to use the straw to help slow down my breathing, wearing it every day is a reminder of my commitment to taking a deep breath and managing my anxiety as best as I can with the tools I have available. It’s been a very positive and empowering purchase for me.”
“I received my Komuso a few days ago and I must admit it far exceeds my expectations. I didn’t have high hopes for it, and to be honest and thought it would be gimmicky. I am so happy to say I was completely wrong. You can genuinely feel it calm you down in an immediate and strange way. It’s the only thing I’ve felt gives me actual relief instead of white knuckle pain while quitting smoking. When I have a serious nicotine craving a breathe through it and it makes not smoking doable—something I’ve never experienced before. I’m completely shocked and I’m so happy I took a chance to try this. It bring a physical aspect to quitting that is so needed but so ignored in the literature. And it’s beautiful. I got the silver one, it very nice quality and the delicate engravings are lovely. I really want to thank the komuso team, this elegant little product is important and it could make all the difference to me. Thank you, truly.”
