yawn

I have been thinking about the "breath" post and how it takes so much effort and concentration to actually focus and release like that, and how rarely we stop and take the time to do it.

One release, though, which we can't avoid no matter how hard we try, is a yawn. The air forces itself into our bodies and demands that we take in the oxygen and let go of the tension and toxins, if only for a moment.

The next time you yawn, I invite you to feel the release that comes directly after. It comes the most strong in the head and neck: feel it open up, find the tightness, and let it go.

You know how yawns are contagious? Thinking and writing about it I just caught one. Pass it on.
