“So a couple of things- I suffer generally crippling anxiety. This is a tool not a cure. And I'm okay with that, that's what I signed on for. I have bought two of these so far. Both have come with lovely packaging. I also absolutely recommend the stronger chain if you are going to wear it literally all the time like I do. Some things I don't love- they should give you a tool to clean it- especially at the price. A qtip doesn't even fit. I think it is too expensive, by about $30, for what it is. It's not solid sterling or anything like that. Lastly, I'm on the fence on if this is culturally appropriation after reading about its development. Does it benefit the people it was adapted from? I don't know but I would like to. All of this aside I do like the shift even if the only effect is the weight of it being there as kind of a reminder to calm down.”
“The shift has allowed me to take a step in the right direction by allowing me to breathe and exhale in the moments I need it most. Highly suggest this shift for people needing a positive change.”
“It has been amazing when I've needed that minute to relax, gather my thoughts, or my breath. I'm much more in-tune with my breathing, and I'd never realized how much tension I carry in my jaw before Komuso. Just the feel of it around my neck can remind me to stop, relax and breathe.”
“One thing the effects me when I get panicky it anxious is I try and force myself to take too full of inhales and when I can’t successfully take a giant inhale it creates more anxiety. The Shift has trained me to take not such a large inhale, but larger exhales. By doing so my inhales are smoother and breathing is in more control.
I wish I could get the gold or silver one but it was too out of my price range.
And I love that you put it around your neck and won’t lose it”
“I gave this a try because honestly I am always to stressed lately and I don’t want to take medication. So when I came across The Shift I thought why not give it a try? So I did and I have to say it is amazing! When you use it you instantly have a calmness come over you from your head to your toes! Their is no other word to describe this but amazing! I love The Shift!”
