“As an RN with a stressful lifestyle in my NYC Emergency Department and former addictions to alcohol and nicotine, breathing is not always first on my mind. I’ve had my shift for a couple weeks and I feel more centered and comfortable with my physiological state then ever. I wake up and meditate using the shift to help my focus, when I feel restless throughout the day particularly at work I take a quick shift break and reset my breathing pattern. Just a wonderful way to get out of my head. Easy to keep clean with soap and water before and after or an alcohol swab. I’ve recommended it highly to my family. My brother and his girlfriend, both long time smokers, bought themselves Shifts in an effort to quit. My asthmatic dad even decided he would make himself one (stubborn old tinkerer). I’d even like to go so far as having one of the pulmonologist at my hospital try it with some patients to see if it helps with lung volume expansion in COPD/asthma pts. Feel free to email me baroneichenlaub@gmail.com if you’re interested in trying to promote hospital use at some point, maybe manufacture a less styled more clinical version. So many pts in the hospital would benefit from a noninvasive distraction and anxiety intervention such as this”
“I was skeptical at first because it's a pretty expensive little tube of metal. But! Let me tell you. It has some magic in it. I never realized how important the exhale was until I got this. Anytime I start to feel anxiety creep in or just my breathing is off, I just blow through this and it immediately calms me down. Just imagine what ten deep breaths with this thing can do for you. Worth a shot if you've got a bit of money. Breath is our connection to source. =]”
“Within days of receiving The Shift in the mail, I'm breathing more deeply more often. Best unanticipated benefit? My 2yo son is asking to use it as well! I would *never never* recommend unsupervised use of this or a small child and he only uses it when I'm both 1) wearing it and 2) supervising ~ we breath together. Highly recommended!”
“This little reminder around my neck has reminded me to breathe through the tests of parenthood. I cannot thank you enough for creating such a simple tool that can change your day (and eventually, life) after just a couple of deep breathes. Thank you! ❤”
