A Quick Easy Feldenkrais® Way to Reduce Neck Tension

For some quick relief from neck tension, try this: For a few minutes, lie on your back.  Without letting tension creep into your jaw, gently roll your head a little from side to side, letting your eyes look in the direction your head is turning.  Then switch it up.  Slowly turn your head one way and look in the opposite direction.  Keep your movement slow and gentle and repeat a number of times.  You'll probably have deep relaxing breaths organically happen during this process.  Finish by repeating the head rolls with the eyes gazing in the same direction as your face.  

If you would like to get support at home to practice these techniques, check out the Feldenkrais® Lessons at http://www.highfunctionfeldenkrais.com.  There's also a 10 minute film you can watch to understand more about the Feldenkrais® Method.
