FAQ
What is a Mindful Breathing Necklace?
Our Mindful Breathing Necklace is a simple, non-mechanical tool designed to help slow and lengthen your exhale, activating the vagus nerve to calm your nervous system. No batteries or chemicals are needed—just a stylish necklace that promotes calmness whenever stress or anxiety arises.
How do I clean my Mindful Breathing Necklace?
You can purchase our cleaning kit here. Our cleaning kit includes a cleaning cloth to gently wipe away any fingerprints and a brush to clean the inside of the mouthpiece with warm water.Â
Alternatively, you can wash the mouthpiece with just warm water and clean with a dry cloth. However, we do recommend using our cleaning brush to ensure the inside chamber is thoroughly cleaned.
Can’t I just breathe on my own instead of using a breathing necklace?
Absolutely! However, while slower breathing promotes relaxation, our Mindful Breathing Necklace serves as a physical reminder to practice mindful breathing. Since it’s worn, it stays with you wherever you go, offering a gentle prompt to slow down your breath whenever stress or anxiety arise.
What is the science behind this?Â
It has been scientifically proven by Stanford Neuroscientists that the 5-second breathing technique is the fastest way to reduce anxiety and stress. Taking two inhales and one long exhale reduces CO2 levels, slows your heart rate and leaves you feeling calmer, less tense and more focused.
This technique is called Double Inhale Breathing, also known as a 'Physiological Sigh'.
THE TECHNIQUE:
Inhale through the nose twice followed by a slow, long exhale through the mouth.Â
 HOW IT CAN HELP:Â
The double inhale breathing technique can help reduce stress and anxiety by re-inflating the lung sacs and rapidly offloading carbon dioxide. This technique can also improve heart rate and oxygen levels.Â

Will my Mindful Breathing Necklace discolour?
Our Mindful Breathing Necklaces are made from high quality stainless steel and have a long life, therefore, they will not discolour, fade or tarnish. You can also wear them in shower, however, we do not recommend them being in water for too long.Â
You can extend the life of your necklace simply by taking good care of it. Please ensure you take off your necklace before using any hairsprays, perfumes, or any other products.
How to look after your Mindful Breathing Necklace:
- Keep away from perfumes, hairsprays, lotions, or any other similar products. Â
- Although water-resistant, it's best to avoid sea water and pool water, as salty water and chlorine could cause your necklace to lose its shine.
