Imagine wearing a new favorite necklace that also teaches you how to meditate! The Shift™ is a statement necklace scientifically engineered to slow your exhale to 10 seconds, which triggers your nervous system to calm the mind and body instantly. Instead of just relying on a clichéd deep breath, the Shift™ doubles as a physical tool that can literally change your state of mind. Suffering from anxiety, the founders of Komuso Design searched for a meaningful solution instead of mindlessly scrolling through their phones to distract their minds. When a friend recommended trying out meditation, it was the simplicity of deep breathing that proved difficult.
Before giving up, the couple met a man selling flutes used by ancient Komuso monks on a neighborhood art walk. Japanese monks devoted to the ancient Eastern discipline have blown zen through a flute to feel good for years, which ultimately inspired the making of this particular necklace. Wearing and using the Shift™ has proved to be successful for any occasion: in the office, during arguments, in traffic, before stressful phone calls, and even first thing in the morning.
