Body Mindfulness TMJ Jaw Release Audio

by Renee Lindstrom, founder, Inside Awareness Center for Integrative Somatic Learning

Launching TMJ – Jaw Release #1 – Side to Side

TMJ Jaw Release Guided Pattern Audio #1/3

These guided patterns are from Feldenkrais workshop that Renee has held since 2007. The feedback after each workshop has been positive with appreciation expressed. Here is a recent comment from a ’26 workshop.

I always appreciate my sessions with you and the learning. The focus on the tongue, back of throat and head hinging as part of the jaw release has really made a difference. Some of what you shared was new for me so it is taking me awhile to get the hang of it but I’ve been exploring those movements further at home and it’s been good. J

These somatic patterns are called Awareness through Movement Lessons and this workshop series is the integration of of moving parts that enhance ease in the jaw function. The patterns cutivate awareness of the joint movement through micro movements that increase efficiency.

A student may become consciously aware of the individual parts inside their mouth and in their facial features, neck, and further down the torso. It is a wonderful way to find a deeper inner peacefulness, and experience the calming influence of mindfulness.

These lesson contribute to:

• Reducing jaw and neck pain
• Headache support through pain reduction
• Increased jaw function
• Lessen scienty, tension and stress
• Improve Jaw Function
• Enhance sleep and relaxation

Introduction: Grounding thru Body Mindfulness

Benefits:

• reduce and reverse aging
• increasing flexibility and resilience
• develop body awareness
• reduce body tension, pain, anxiety and effort
• increase relaxation and windows of emotional tolerance and self-connection
• improve sleep and sleep sounder
• increase body functions, cognition and emotional responses of calm, mindfulness and joy

Exploring the body anatomy through the felt senses increases inner awareness ​ and trust. This ​body exploration is a different type of strength training. The difference ​is the​ focus of attention on the body, mind and felt senses through guided patterns designed to expand conscious awareness of the body function. The strength of feeling one​’s body through moving joints and bones deepens awareness of physical connections ​as ​postures change, like in the shifting transitions from sitting to standing and back to sitting. Movement is a series of shifting postures. The functioning healthy body is not stationary, nor poses. It is designed for a continuous flow of integrative movement patterns.

Feedback On Body Mindfulness Introduction

“I am excited!!! This is great! It is like you are there with me step by step. It’s what all of us are looking for, real Feldenkrais support” S

“That was great, Renee! You have such a calm and lovely voice. I’m happy to add this to my calming strategies. Thank you. ” H

“I really like this sort of thing and would welcome further “installments” in the series and/or a revised version of this one. I liked the pace at which you spoke, not too rushed and left enough time to do the exploration of the particular area of the body to which you were drawing attention.

I liked that you offered options re leg position (straight out or with bolster under knees) but wondered whether one position or the other is preferable. Or is it just that one would notice different things, depending on how the legs are positioned?”   K
