The jaw muscles can be the
most tense muscles in the body with 50% of the nerves connecting from the brain
to the body through the area of the jaw joint.
It is therefore of the utmost importance to keep this ‘jaw area’ as free
as possible from muscular tension.
ü
As you begin the yawn, lightly
press the fingertips of each hand against any tight spots you feel where your
cheeks cover the upper and lower molars
ü
You can very gently
massage these areas if you want
ü
Make a deep, relaxed,
yawning sound (as though it’s coming from the bottom of your stomach)
ü
Whilst gently stroking
away any tensions over the upper and lower molar area of your jaw
ü
Repeat 3+ times.
(Use for: massaging
muscles over the jaw area as this relaxes the jaw, freeing connections for
increased whole brain integration).
Should you wish to use any of the techniques or

responsibility for your own emotional, psychological,
