Use the fingers of one hand to locate the center of the muscle on the top of your opposite shoulder. Give this point some comfortable pressure with your finger tips. If you’d like more pressure, you can hang onto the elbow using your other hand.
Send your head away from this pressure point as you release the jaw into gravity. Allow the breath to arrive and depart on its own, encouraging a deepening breath response.
Feel free to move the head in gentle nods, circles, or figure-eights, allowing your eyes to take in the space as your breath continues to drop in.
When you’re ready, switch sides.
When you finish, try to take your work with you into the next thing you do.
