The Breathing Pendant—A Beautiful Tool for Calm
How a Simple Pendant Can Help You Breathe Better
Hi there! Let’s talk about breathing—but not in a “just take a deep breath” kind of way.
For the longest time, I wasn’t the “breathe in, breathe out” type of person. I’d hear yoga instructors say, “Focus on your breath”, and I’d think, “Yeah, yeah, let’s get to the stretching part!” But then, something clicked. Every time an exercise got hard, my breathing became shallow and fast—totally working against me.
When I finally got it right, the difference was wild. I felt stronger, calmer, and suddenly, everything flowed. That’s when I realised breathing isn’t just something we do—it’s something we can use.
I started researching ways to make breathing intentional, even off the yoga mat, and that’s how the Breathing Pendant was born. A piece of jewellery that’s not just beautiful, but actually helps you breathe better and feel calmer, anytime, anywhere.
How It Works
The Breathing Pendant is designed to slow down your exhale, which is the key to calming the nervous system. You know that tight-chest, heart-racing, “everything-is-too-much” feeling? That’s your sympathetic nervous system—your fight-or-flight mode—kicking in.
Longer exhales activate the parasympathetic nervous system—the "rest and digest” response—helping your body switch from stress mode to relaxation mode. The pendant guides your breath so you exhale fully, slowly, and intentionally.
How to Use It
For the best experience, follow these simple steps:
1️⃣ Find a comfortable spot. Sit with your back straight and relax your face, neck, and shoulders.
2️⃣ Breathe in deeply. Inhale through your nose, filling your belly with air. Feel your abdomen rise.
3️⃣ Hold your breath. Pause for a moment (aim for about 7 seconds, or whatever feels good for you).
4️⃣ Exhale slowly. Place the pendant to your lips and breathe out gently through it for 8–10 seconds. Let your belly fall as you fully release the air. No need to force it—just a smooth, steady exhale.
5️⃣ Repeat & relax. Continue for a few minutes, letting each breath guide you into a calmer state.
🌟 Pro tip: Want to deepen your practice? Try focused breathing. As you inhale, imagine your breath travelling from your head to your feet. As you exhale, let it flow back up through your body. This simple trick helps quiet the mind and bring a deeper sense of awareness.
Breathe in. Breathe out. Feel the difference. 🤍🩶
More Than Just a Breathing Tool
I wanted the Breathing Pendant to be more than just functional. It’s handmade with my signature tactile pattern, adding an extra layer of sensory grounding. The texture gives you something to touch and focus on when you need to stay present—kind of like a fidget tool, but way prettier.
You can get it with the pattern in sterling silver or gold over an oxidized silver background, making it both versatile and timeless. Whether you’re using it for breathwork or just as a beautiful piece of jewellery, it’s designed to support you throughout the day.
