Early in 2023 I was shown a technique to tighten my skin along the jawline and neck. I loved the results of this technique and how playful I felt while exercising this way. In the late summer months my focus of attention was distracted and after only two months I noticed a significant difference in the skin tone and felt sensory awareness in these areas. I began doing them this week and I am curious to see if my neck and jawline tighten as much as it did last year. When it tightened up the skin then it translated into my sensory awareness of my felt inner self image. It was a feeling of youthfulness that had been absent for a time. As the skin began to lose its tone over the fall there was a loss in this feeling quality of youthfulness. It was a more relaxed feeling without much sensory awareness. After only the second time this week the sensory awareness in these areas have heightened.
This experience has created an understanding on a subtle level of how one feels old or not depending upon the skin tonification. The pattern of exercise applies to the neck, jaw line and the up into the cheeks. Going upward into the cheeks was an addition of mine. I chose to do this due to my own TMJ tension and the research on it though my practice of Feldenkrais. In these pictures below I demonstrated soaking a towel in warm salted water, rolling it and the areas I use an upward tap on the neck and chin. On the cheeks I follow the same angle as my gaw and also tap using an upward flick. I continue this for approximately 3 minutes. The first time it is awkward however it become habitual when repeating it. I often have a salted water bath and on the days I don’t I use a bowl of warm water with salt and soak the towel. Below the pictures is a few seconds of video showing the upward flick that encourages the skin to tighten.
