How to Relax Your Mouth and Jaw
The Wellness Path
Micropractice #2
The mouth and jaw is a complex and vitally important area of the body.
Think of all you do with the mouth and jaw— eat, drink, speak, at times breathe, express emotions. Lots going on in the mouth and jaw.
It's also an area where people tend to pack in tension.
Frowning.
Pursing the lips.
Clenching the jaw.
Grinding the teeth.
When that tension becomes chronic, it can contribute to dental problems, jaw dysfunction, and pain.
Plus, tension in and around the mouth and jaw adds tension throughout the head, including around the brain.
That can cause headaches, irritability, upset, and more.
So lots to be gained from Relaxing Your Mouth and Jaw.
It makes a perfect 5 minute Micropractice. You can drop it into your day almost anywhere.
In doing so, you'll support the health of this vital area. And lower the baseline level of tension in your entire body.
In the video below, I lead you through this Micropractice.

I encourage you to experiment with dropping this Micropractice into your busy day. Five minutes here. Five minutes there.
