I love this! It’s very cute on and great for mindful breathing

My daughter has been struggling with anxiety lately, so I decided to try out this necklace as a way to help her find some calm. The necklace works by naturally slowing down your breath – you simply inhale slowly for 4 seconds through your nose, hold for 7 seconds, and exhale slowly through the breathing tool for 8 to 10 seconds. It’s a simple method, but it really does help to calm the mind and body. Using the necklace has made her feel more present, relaxed, and mindful throughout her day.One of the things we love about this necklace is its versatility. While it might look like a whistle, it’s actually whisper quiet, so she can use it discreetly anywhere she goes. Plus, it’s stylish enough to wear with any outfit, making it perfect for both women and men.Crafted from high polish, food-grade 304 stainless steel, the necklace is durable, safe for the skin, and won’t tarnish over time. It’s also easy to clean – simply run it under warm, soapy water and let it dry.In the package, you get everything you need, including the necklace, a cleaning brush, a cleaning cloth, a message card, a jewelry bag, and a gift box. It’s a perfect gift choice for anyone looking to find some peace and calm in their life.While my daughter found this necklace helpful for controlling the force of her external breath, she’s been practicing meditation breathing for a while and found that it didn’t help as much with breath length. However, for someone who’s just learning and needs assistance, this tool could be a great help.Overall, we’re pleased with this purchase. It may not be the most useful tool for experienced meditation practitioners, but for beginners or those needing assistance, it’s definitely worth trying out.

This comes nicely boxed and is a great presentation of a supportive coping skill tool. The components include the device itself, which is about 2.5 inches in length, a 'dog tag style' chain, a polishing cloth, a cleaning brush, and instructions. For people who struggle with anxiety, panic, or just to practice mindful breathing, having a tool to support the process can be helpful; likewise for those who are accustomed to putting something such as a cigarette or vape pen in their mouths, this fills that need. This style has an additional fidget spinner component that is an added bonus. Overall, this is an affordable tool to support movement away from negative coping skills and become more connected to the power of the breath to help re-regulate and soothe. Only addition I'd request is some sort of vented case in which to store the device alongside the cleaning brush, so both pieces can stay together and clean when placed in a backpack, bag or purse.

I have two nephews who vape.....and, we (the family) all would like them to quit. The main reason for this activity is both of them deal with anxiety, so I got them each one of these, and asked them to report in with their progress. Neither had ever seen an item like this and were intrigued, thought this was an ingenious piece to help their lungs, produce a similar sensation, and expressed hope for good results. So far, both have reported being pleased that they have this around their necks and find themselves happy to have this tool to reach for when needed instead of their cartridges. Neither has quit completely yet, but both have cut back on how many times each day and continue to work on transferring their dependent habit fully to this little tool. Both also like the look of it as a necklace.....it really is attractive with its thin silver tube and the little fidget ring that spins on it. I will report back with progress, but am thrilled at these first steps.

I've done meditation breathing for a while now, but lately have been having trouble controlling the exhale. I thought I'd give this a try. There are no instructions in the box. On the product page it says to breath in for 4, hold for 4, then breath out through the device.Since I've been practicing like this for a while, this device wasn't as helpful as I had hoped. Because it is such a small tube, it does prevent you from breathing out too forcefully. But it does nothing to help with breath length.It's a nice little tool and it is beautiful on the chain. If you're experienced in meditation breathing, it may not be the most useful tool. But if you're just learning and need assistance, this tool could be a great help for controlling the force of your external breath.

I bought myself a version of this that had been making the social media rounds about two years ago. It was priced a few times higher. The quality of this item is very comparable to that one. In fact, my expensive one didn't come with the polishing cloth or the cleaning brush like this one did. I'm very pleasantly surprised with this breathwork straw. It came packaged nicely enough to give as a gift.My therapist recommends the 4-7-8 breathing technique. Besides medication, it's the only other thing that really helps, and I don't have to wait for it to work. The breathing technique helps right then in the moment. I've found it to be very helpful. It's not a miracle and takes all my anxiety away, but it does bring it down a lot.The metal breathwork straw is a physical reminder to do the breathing throughout the day. It's actually beneficial to do it a few to several times a day, but I tend not to think about it really. The straw helps to remember. Do you need this item to do the breathwork? No. But having a physical prop can help people focus more and get their lips tight enough on the exhale to stimulate the vagus nerve.You don't have to wear it around your neck. You could get a little pouch to keep it in and just have it in your purse or bag. You can keep it on your bedside table as a reminder to do it when you get up and before you go to sleep.The cost is very reasonable and the quality is good. I'm happy with this and I'd choose it again.
