parts of your hair,clenching down and pulling upwards,slightly straining the
hair at the skull.Hold this position for a moment or two.Work through the entire
scalp in this way.

nails),firmly tap away on your forehead,covering the entire surface area.Feel
the stress drain out of your face and skull like sand out of bag.

body feels awake and alive,so will the mind.

immediately feel!Yawning is the body's natural way of bringing you back into focus.
