ChaLuMu: Supporting Calm, Grounding and Mindful Moments

Running a small business is a lot of things, creative, chaotic, joyful, exhausting, and it is always evolving. ChaLuMu has always been about helping people feel a little calmer, a little more grounded, in the middle of busy lives.

Over time, we have seen that the practices people love, using our jewellery to pause, breathe, and reconnect, can be helpful in lots of different ways. While our products have supported people through habit change, we have also realised something important, everyone faces moments of stress, overwhelm, or anxiety, no matter their goals.

That is what we are focusing on now, because the tools and techniques our necklaces naturally support are perfect for helping with everyday stress and anxiety.

How the Necklace Works

The ChaLuMu breathing necklace is a breathing tool as well as jewellery. You breathe through the necklace itself, using it as a guide for slow, controlled breaths. This simple act of intentional breathing helps calm the nervous system and keeps you grounded. Every inhale and exhale through the necklace encourages your body to relax, helps steady your mind, and gives you a moment to pause, even during a busy or stressful day.

Simple Breathing Techniques to Try

Here are a few techniques you can try using your necklace:

1. Box Breathing

• Hold your necklace and inhale gently through it for four counts

• Hold your breath for four counts

• Exhale for four counts

• Pause for four counts

  
  

  Repeat for a few rounds to slow your heart rate and create a sense of calm

2. 4-7-8 Breathing

• Inhale through the necklace for four counts

• Hold your breath for seven counts

• Exhale slowly for eight counts

  
  

  This technique reduces stress and encourages relaxation, particularly before sleep or during tense moments

3. Mindful Breathing

• Focus on each inhale and exhale through the necklace

• Pay attention to how your body feels as you breathe in and out

  
  

  This simple practice keeps your mind present and helps reduce anxious thoughts

4. Pause and Scan

• Breathe through the necklace and take three deep breaths

• As you breathe, notice any tension in your body

• Release the tension as you exhale

  
  

  This is a quick grounding exercise you can do anywhere, anytime

Tips to Make it a Daily Practice

• Keep the necklace somewhere accessible, like around your neck, wrist, or bag

• Use it whenever you feel overwhelmed, stressed, or just need a mindful moment

• Combine it with a short pause, a cup of tea, or a five-minute break

• Remember, it is not about perfection, even one mindful breath counts

Why This Focus Feels Right

Life is busy, brains are loud, stress is unavoidable. ChaLuMu has always been about meeting people where they are. Instead of telling anyone what to do, we create tools that:

• Encourage calm in small, achievable ways

• Help people reconnect with themselves

• Make mindful moments accessible in everyday life

Whether that is for stress, overwhelm, anxiety, or habit-related challenges, our goal is the same, to support your wellbeing in real, practical ways.

Research shows that slow, controlled breathing can support the parasympathetic nervous system, reduce stress, and improve heart rate variability. While the necklace does not cure anxiety, it makes practising these small, evidence-backed techniques easier and more habitual.

Final Thoughts

Your ChaLuMu necklace is more than a piece of jewellery. It is a breathing tool that helps you pause, calm your nervous system, and stay grounded, even during busy or stressful moments.

Try experimenting with different techniques, see what feels right for you, and let the necklace guide you back to calm whenever you need it.
