“It looks and feels nice but using it actually makes me feel like I’m hyperventilating. If I hadn’t put my mouth all over it I’d probably try to get my money back.”
Hi Gregory, thanks for the order and feedback! We'd like to help you here because it seems as though you might not be using the tool correctly. Here's a video that shows you how to use it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9umYVpx0tQY
The key here is to make sure you allow your exhale to flow naturally through the chamber, not too push or blow hard. That might be why you feel like you're having a hard time breathing. Hope that helps and please let us know if you have any other questions. It's important to us that you have a great experience with our breathing necklace!
“Addicted to nicotine for 25 years, thinking smoking and vaping were how to clear the tension in my chest. Quit cold turkey with the classic shift and now I can actually clear that tension with this special exhale. It made me cry a bunch at first but I don’t need a vape anymore.”
“Awesome shift. I have more than one Komuso shift, fun to wear different ones depending on my mood. This one is a favorite to have with me the most. It is also the most comfortable with a great design to either shorten or lengthen the cord.”
“This has been really nice to kind of give my hands something even fidget with. I am noticing that the device forces me to breathe out of my stomach and slows down my breath.”
“Easy to shop, buy and pay. But delivery with UPS mail service to Canada wasn't great. We live in a condo/apartment and when the delivered the package, no-one was able to answer the buzzer at the front door to let them in. UPS ended up leaving the package outside the door of our building on the ground!!! OUTSIDE ON THE GROUND?! Horrifying. Anybody could've picked it up and we would have been out of luck and Kumoso would've been the ones we contacted as we would have had no idea what happened. The package would've said delivered, yet we didn't get it if someone had just helped themselves to our package that was left outside. Terrible, just terrible. But maybe think about using another service to Canada?”
“I love the device (partner) in my journey. My only request is that you indicate how to appropriately apply the lips to the shift. I had to reach out to customer support on which side the bottom / top lips to perform the exhale and where the lips should be placed on the shift. At first I got a little frustrated but, stayed with it and getting better at it to achieve the sound Todd exhibited with the exhale through the shift. Had I not been in the right frame of mind, I might have decided to return it. My plan is to pass along the shift to someone else and upgrade to the Koko”
“Enjoying my komuso shift very much so far, wearing it daily gives me a reminder to take a moment for me and breathe when I feel anxious or overwhelmed.”
“I was impressed with the various items offered and the ease of using the website for placing orders. The items were shipped quickly with tracking information. They were described as pictured on the website and appear to be of good quality. Good communication regarding order confirmation and shipping status.”
“I can tell you that if you have a smoking problem, this type of item is functional and easily accessible when you have a need. The function of this breathing system is almost immediate and that need is not so much of a difficulty anymore. Glad to find this, and currently using.”
“Definitely not good for quitting smoking. The design should be better to mimic the feel of smoking a cigarette. If you’re looking to quit smoking, use a different product. There are definitely better ones out there”
“LOVE my new Shift! It’s a beautiful, wearable reminder to stop, breathe, and relax. I’ve only had it a few days, but expect it to be a permanent wardrobe and wellbeing staple. Thanks Komuso!”
“This product has been the only thing so far to help me stop vaping. My wife still vapes which made it harder for me to quit. I thank y'all for blending spirituality with getting our health back.
Sincerely,
Ashley Hope Crook”
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. This Komuso that I just purchased is for my partner. I personally have had mine for 3 years now. It helped me to stop vaping nicotine after being addicted for 6 solid years. Through breathwork I've learned that addiction is more of a mental discipline game than anything else. The addiction is the symptom.... the coping, to mask the inner work that is not being done. Being able to reach for my Komuso & breath whenever stress comes instead of reaching for a vape - best shift I've ever had in my life.”
