Stretch your neck

  • Tilt the head forward and hold for 10 seconds. Raise it back to the center.

  • Roll the head to one side and hold for 10 seconds. Bring it back to the center and repeat on the opposite side.

  • Shrug the shoulders so that they almost touch the ears. Hold for a few seconds, then relax. Repeat this 5 times.

Relieving Muscle Tension

  • Bring awareness to the breath. If hyperventilating, try exhaling (like blowing out a candle) to slow things down.

  • Next, place a hand on your belly and relax the shoulders. Breathe into the belly, fully inflating the lungs with air. Notice the hand rising as your belly expands.

  • Exhale fully, allowing your belly to relax again. Notice the hand moving inward.

  • Keep breathing this way, feeling the hand rising and falling with each breath.

  • If helpful, make a soft “sss” sound while exhaling.

I highly recommend this book. I've read it quite a few times...has anyone else read this book?

Small summary of the book: Eckhart Tolle explores presence, thinking, and spirituality to help you understand what presence means, how thinking and non-acceptance drive a lot of human pain, and how to live a life that reduces suffering.
