Breathing Straws

---

OK.  Let's get real here.  You can start with a plastic straw (not environmentally friendly) that you cut to any length you like.  However, just check Amazon, why are there so many breathing straws for sale?  Most are trying to convince you that you need to have it with you 24/7 and therefore disguise it as a fashion statement.   If you like the idea that it is also jewelry, that's fine.  By all means, enjoy it.   It really should be treated as a training tool to properly develop your mindful breathing technique.  If you choose to carry it with you all the time, by all means, enjoy it.  Just keep in mind that the goal is to acquire the skills to use mindful breathing techniques whenever and wherever you need to use them.  You simply don’t need the added anxiety of “OMG, I forgot my straw!”
