"I'm still here. Just One Breath at a time"
The One Breath Meditation Necklace - Flute Version is based on the Japanese Komoso Buddhist practice of blowing Zen, and is a tangible way to help people learn how to slow their breathing. This Meditation Necklace gives the person using it a physical way to channel and slow their breathing as opposed to relying on counting, visualization, or other breathing techniques. It gives that person something physical and outside their body to focus on - just their One Breath in and out through the necklace.
The goal of the One Breath Necklace is to help mindful breathing feel accessible and doable, and it should help the user start to ground their body in the present and away from stressful thoughts. Please remember all meditation techniques take time and practice. We have found that some people who are trying to quit smoking and vaping prefer this version with the fluted end, and so we have added it to our store as an option. A small booklet that explains how to properly use this necklace for meditation will come with your purchase.
Please note: this necklace does not provide the resistance you get from sucking in on a cigarette or vape pen. The feedback we have gotten from people who use it to help quit smoking say the help is in having something to put to their mouth while working on meditating, not in a resistance sensation when blowing out through the One Breath Necklace, as it does not provide this.
