Feldenkrais Method · Sleep
Let your body become your best sleep aid
"不要试图入睡。只要真正地放松身体，Sleep will come on its own。" — Moshe Feldenkrais
Tension headaches are caused by sustained muscle tension in the head, neck, and shoulders. Many feel like a tight band squeezing their head.
Conventional treatment relies on painkillers, but medication only suppresses signals. The source often lies outside the head itself — neck tension, jaw clenching, or eye strain.
The Feldenkrais Method uses subtle head and neck micro-movement awareness to help the brain relearn how to release unnecessary tension.
Headaches rarely originate in the head. Tension in neck, jaw, and eyes transfer upward.
The head is already heavy. Learn to let it balance lightly on the spine.
TMJ tension is a common headache trigger. Release the jaw, and the head naturally relaxes.
Excessive eye focusing triggers chain tension in head and neck.
Lie on back. Place tongue on upper palate. Extremely slowly, slide jaw forward (no biting), then back. Range 2mm. Repeat 10 times.
Lie on back. Imagine head as ball floating on water. Extremely slowly, turn slightly left (5 degrees), center, then right. Only head moves.
Lie on back, eyes closed. Imagine eyes sinking into sockets. Extremely slowly, swing left and right like a pendulum, smallest range.
「The head doesn't need to be held up. When the neck and jaw learn to let go, the head becomes naturally light, and pain has nothing to hold onto.」
