- Close your eyes
- Unclench your jaw
- Let go of tension in your forehead, eyes, cheeks, and tongue
- Imagine each muscle softening like warm butter
✅ Tip: Place a hand on your face to feel the release.
2. Drop Your Shoulders and Relax Your Arms
- Let your shoulders fall away from your ears
- Release tension down through your upper arms, elbows, and forearms
- Let your hands go limp
💡 This helps signal your body: “We’re not fighting. We’re resting.”
3. Exhale and Relax Your Chest
- Take a slow, deep breath in
- As you exhale, let your chest sink into the mattress
- Release all tension in your lungs and ribcage
✅ Focus on the weight of your chest — heavy and still.
