“I bought the shift to help with stress at work and in my daily life. Unfortunately I’m not comfortable putting something in my mouth that’s been hanging exposed around my neck.
The necklace is stunning and I still wear it. Multiple people ask about it and as a bartender it is definitely a topic of conversation.
I love my Shift thank you so very much.”
“Ever since I received my shift, I am better prepared to deal with stress and anxiety by noticing my breathing and immediately grabbing for my shift to help calm me down (the convenience). The shift’s size is perfect! And listening to stories from other shift users and learning about the history of the Komusō monks helped me to understand and appreciate the design of the shift and how much thought was put into this beautiful tool. Thank You, Komuso Family!”
“Lack of O2 in the blood (hypoxia) is the same physiologically as stress/anxiety. I’ve been practicing a myriad of breathing exercises to combat my anxiety, and I really like the shift, as it encourages you to slow your exhale. The slow exhale really chills me out. I like to spend 2min intermittently through out the day to boost my O2 stores and lower the stress response. So happy with my purchase.”
“Such a simple item, but beautifully made and packaged. I was not sure how much it would help, but I love how it slows down my out-breath and helps me focus. It's very attractive and made of quality materials. Very nice.”
“I get anxiety from time to time out of the blue. When I was looking at this necklace I wasn’t sure if it was going to work or not. However, after I bought the Komuso and used it, it helped my anxiety tremendously!”
“The shift is an absolutely elegant keepsake for wellness, packed beautifully and gift-ready. I purchased the rose gold Shift, and I have been wearing it every day as a reminder to take a moment to check in wirh my thoughts and be still. Its made of high quality materials, I I feel confident wearing it daily without risking damage to it. Using it as a meditative tool helps force my focus on my breath, and noting thoughts. The physiological difference is not vastly different than square breathing, but despite that I am glad I made this purchase.”
