Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Sat Nam, When i started KY i had a great tension in the solar plexus and over time with cow/cat and meditation it slowly been released. Then i noticed the tension in my heart chakra and have been doing the hands on heart meditation and it has released a lot of this tension and now i have noticed the tension in my jaw. I haven't found any specific exercise/meditation to help this. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Mick SBC DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 I devised a simple set of exercises, a few weeks ago, (basically, I combined the brahma pose with the squeeze-saltwater-between-the-teeth techniques) to strengthen the neck, eye and the facial muscles, in addition to cleaning the teeth and strengthening the gums, which I found quite useful. When the neck is strengthened, the head is well-balanced and sits lightly on the neck. Here's the exercise, and I do it after I brush my teeth in the morning. Step 1: Take some salt-water in your mouth Step 2: Tilt your head back slooowly, stretching the neck as much as you can, and hold the stretch for about five breaths. While holding the stretch, squeeze the salt-water between your teeth in your mouth, and focus on the tip of your nose. Step 3: Tilt your head down slooowly, stretching the BACK OF THE neck as much as you can, and hold the stretch for about five breaths (both in and out). While holding the stretch, squeeze the salt-water between your teeth in your mouth, and focus on the point between your eyebrows. Step 4: Tilt your head to the left slooowly, stretching the neck as much as you can, and hold the stretch for about five breaths. In this position, squeeze the salt-water between your teeth in your mouth, and look as far back as you can. Step 5: Tilt your head back right slooowly, stretching the neck as much as you can, and hold the stretch for about five breaths. In this position, squeeze the salt-water between your teeth in your mouth, and look as far back as you can. You can do this in standing or sitting positions. Feel what happens to the neck and facial muscles when you do the above stretches. When you do it regularly, you will find a noticeable difference in the neck and jaw line. One should NEVER do the neck rotations fast. The five-breath pause between neck turns is ideal for strengthening the neck safely. I also noticed that I am singing better and able to hit higher pitches more effortlessly these days (not that Celine Dion's going to be in trouble in the near future ) Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 SAT NAM Mike, I also was suffering a while ago with TMJ and tension in the left part of the body, I got advise from KY that I need to alternate legs during easy pose and ensure that I balanace my weight equally laterally. After I followed there advise I saw tremendous improvement and now I can say I dont have any jaw tension!. Often, it appears that tension in jaws relates to pelvic region imbalances. SO any pelvic work might help.
