Tension is carried throughout the body. Today we’ll concentrate on relaxing the head, jaw, neck and shoulders.
We’ll start with the face: make a prune face, scrunch everything up around your nose. Sqeeze and relax. Next, open your mouth and eyes, stick out your tongue, and make a lion sound. This relaxes the face, mouth, throat and jaw.
Follow this by looking gently right and left a few times, then raise the head up and down, inhaling up, exhaling down. Make believe there’s a crayon on your nose, and draw some big circles, clockwise and counterclockwise.
To finish, circle your shoulders front, up back and down a few times. Then reverse the circle.
Now sit tall, top of head reaching towards the sky, chin tucked in. Avoid computer head- head juts forward, neck is out of alignment, shoulders are raised up to the ear lobes. Computer head looks and feels just awful.

Margihealing is prone to a bit of computer-head herself!

Me too. It’s hard to fit my glasses over the screen, though.
