Jaw and Tongue Release
To soften a held jaw and signal safety.
Why it helps
The jaw is one of the first places we brace. Letting the tongue fall away from the roof of the mouth releases a surprising amount of low-grade tension through the face and throat.
How to practice
- 1
Let your lips touch gently, teeth apart.
- 2
Drop your tongue from the roof of your mouth.
- 3
Exhale a soft sigh through the mouth.
- 4
Let the corners of your jaw soften.
- 5
Repeat three to five times.
