Unclenching The Jaw To Soften Facial And Shoulder Tension

Throughout a busy day, it is incredibly common to unknowingly clench the muscles in our face, jaw, and neck. This targeted practice focuses on parting the teeth, resting the tongue, and allowing the lips to completely soften. You will then travel down to the shoulders, using your exhalations to let gravity pull them away from your ears. Experience the lightness in your upper body as you stop holding on to physical stress.

Welcome Throughout a busy day, We tend to unknowingly clench our muscles, Especially in the face and neck. This guided meditation is dedicated to softening the jaw and shoulders, Allowing physical relief to wash over you. Close your eyes and bring your awareness to your face. Notice your jaw. Are your teeth pressed together? Is your tongue pressing against the roof of your mouth? Gently part your teeth. Let your tongue rest heavily. Allow your lips to soften. Now travel down to your shoulders. Take a deep breath in, Pulling your shoulders up slightly. As you exhale, Let them drop completely. Let gravity pull them down away from your ears. Inhale. And as you exhale, Imagine a warm, Comforting weight resting on your shoulders, Encouraging them to stay relaxed. Notice how much lighter your upper body feels when you stop holding on so tightly. Take one more gentle breath and open your eyes. Thank you for visiting the Mind Spa today, See you tomorrow.
