How To Use A Mindful Breathing Necklace

Anxiety necklaces are extremely easy to use for a first-time user, even for people with no experience with breathwork or meditation.

Firstly, remember to use the pendant only for the exhale, not for the inhale. Take a big, deep breath without the pendant. Then, put the pendant to your mouth, with your lips touching the lower end. 

Now, slowly exhale into the mouthpiece. Try not to blow, like a whistle. Instead simply let your breath come out like you would normally. There should be a very faint low whisper sound of the air leaving. If the sound is very loud, or if it sounds like a high-pitched whistle, you are likely breathing out too quickly or too forefully.

Exhale fully until your lungs are fully empty as you would in a natural breath. You can then repeat the process until your anxiety has calmed to your desire.

Keep breathing in, and out slowly until you find yourself calm and focused once again. 

Based on studies, even just five minutes of deep breathing has been proven to slow your heartbeat and calm your nervous system!

Science-Backed Breathing Techniques To Use With Your Anxiety Necklace

Here are two commonly used techniques to bring your mind and body into a state of calm and relaxation.

1. Box breathing. Box breathing follows the 4-4-4-4 pattern. Because it's so easy to remember, it's a great one for beginners. To do box breathing, simply breathe in for 4 seconds, hold the air in your lungs for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds, then hold the air out of your lungs for 4 seconds. This technique has been shown to reduce stress effectively and is used by Navy SEALS.
2. 4-7-8 breathing. This technique is slightly more complex, but even better. To do this, breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds, and then exhale for 8 seconds. Making the exhale longer than the inhale activates the parasympathetic nervous system and calms the body and mind.
