1. Half Circle Head Roll
Sit on the edge of your bed with your hands loosely at your side. Slowly drop your chin toward your chest and release all the muscles in your neck. Keeping your chin close to your chest, very slowly move your head in a half-circle motion, moving from one shoulder to the other. Take deep breaths in and out with each half circle, and repeat this movement 10 to 20 times.

2. Happy Baby
Lie on your bed, bend your knees and bring your thighs close to your chest. Hold the legs close to your body in this bent-knee position by clasping your hands together across your shins. In this small “ball” position, close your eyes and breathe slowly for 10 seconds, then release the position and lie flat on the bed for 10 seconds (continuing to breathe slowly with your eyes closed). Repeat this sequence 5 to 10 times.

3. Corpse
Lie on your bed in an open-legs and open-arms position (your body should form the letter “X” if someone were looking down on you). In this position, close your eyes and take 10 breaths as slowly and deeply as you can. Count each breath until you get to 10, then count backwards until you get to 0, for a total of 20 breaths in all. If you still feel unsettled or not relaxed, repeat the entire sequence again until you do. Don’t worry about clearing your mind. Just breathe rhythmically and slowly, count each breath and calm your thoughts.
