In this video, I show a very simple and easy little practice that you can do at any moment of the day in almost any situation. It is a practice, using touch to calm the brain and mind, create more space for thinking, release tension in the skin around your skull, and bring awareness to sensation and breathing.
This touch practice was originally developed by Linda Tellington to help calm and regulate the (nervous) system of traumatized animals. It works with the intelligence of the cells in your skin.
How does it work? Touch your skull with your fingertips in a gentle, non-pushing manner. As you inhale, begin to move the skin gently in circular motions for 1 and 1/4 circles, then slowly release the skin as you exhale. I explain more in the video. Enjoy!
