“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.”
“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!”
