โฑ 60 seconds๐Ÿ” 1 round

Targets: hidden tension around ears and scalp edge

How to do it

  1. 1Grip your ears gently and pull them softly outward, up, and down โ€” 5 seconds each direction.
  2. 2Massage the whole ear between thumb and finger for 15 seconds.
  3. 3With fingertips, massage small circles along the hairline from temples to behind the ears.
  4. 4Finish with a slow sweep down the neck.

Why it works

  • โ€ข Wonderful paired with the temple release

Common mistakes

  • โ€ข Skipping the hairline circles
  • โ€ข Forgetting the final downward sweep
