Joe helps you to learn about your lips in the way that an infant learns to produce speech- with babbling and experimentation.  

We often don't associate the clenching in our teeth with the quality of sensation in our lips.   However, sensations compete.  Have you ever gotten rid of a headache by banging your toe?  

By learning to produce a relaxing sensation of the lips, the muscular tone of the face changes, and habitual gripping starts to fade away.   Learn to find ease in your lips and you will surely find ease in your cheeks in chin.  

Enjoy these lip lessons.  They are designed to prime your brain for the lessons of the jaw.

The movements of the shoulders and neck are interconnected. Exploring their relationship can help open up new possibilities for movement in the head and jaw.

Sliding the arms up and down on the floor allow the shoulder blades to move on the back in the second lesson she calls "Evergreen Tree." 

Margi teaches us how to connect the shoulders to the arms and back in parts 1 and 2 of the lessons she calls "Evergreen Tree." 

Imagine yourself a Sea Turtle in this playful relationship to breath and floating

Part of what will help you to change is to learn something that either you never knew, or you have forgotten.  What this means is that you cannot expect to change your jaw alignment by only moving in the "familiar" way.  However, to learn something new, you must feel safe.  These lessons are about respecting what your body is trying to tell you.  Do not force any movements, but rather just listen deeply.  In the listening, you will experience a profound change.  Draw back. Do less. Pause. Wait, Repeat. 

  Discover the cardinal planes of the jaw.  Keep making the movements easier and you will find they occur more naturally.  This lesson will help you learn to move your jaw to the right with ease.

Here you will begin to connect the relationship of head and jaw movements through nodding.  If you find yourself inclined to wonder, "am I doing this right?," please know that you are not alone.   You may wonder what it is you should be feeling,  or how to correct yourself; but we ask that you just simply trust the process and let the movements guide you   Paying attention to the movements without critique is where change happens.
