3. Relax your muscles from head to toe. Start from the top of your head and slowly move down and relax your eyes, cheeks, teeth, and jaw.
4. Now slowly scan down and relax your neck and shoulder muscles. “Make sure you’re not tensed up,” Augustine says in the TikTok video.
5. Before coming to your heart, imagine a warm sensation going from your head down to your fingers.
