This exercise helps release stress from the body by teaching what to do with your mouth and jaw in breathing exercises. It’s a simple but straightforward and essential exercise. SAMPLE EXERCISE Sit comfortably, back reasonably straight, and ideally sit slightly forward so your back is not resting on anything. Your neck should be straight and neutral, with your head neither forward nor back. Take a couple of minutes to breathe and become aware of your breath, and let yourself settle. Let your jaw drop slightly, so your mouth is open one to two finger widths. Your mouth and jaw should still feel relaxed, not strained by trying to open too widely. Sit like this and breathe for a few minutes, with the air going in and out through your nose and mouth, and get used to breathing with your mouth slightly open. Next, try going back and forth between breathing into the chest through the nostrils, and breathing into the chest with the mouth slightly open. See which one is easier and feels more open. If you’ve done any of the breathing into the body exercises before this, try using this open mouth breathing with those exercises. If not, just continue with this exercise. See if your anxiety is decreased and if you are more at ease. Make notes and go about your day.
