The face can hold an immense amount of tension. Here are two quick tension-release techniques (Time – 15 seconds Each):

1. Place the pads of your fingers against  your cheekbones. Push upward HARD. Gradually push your fingers along  the curve of your cheekbones toward your ears. This brings blood into your face and opens the spaces that had been tense

2. Lay one hand over your opposite shoulder. Push in and pull your fingers forward over the shoulder. Do this three times on each side.
