2. The half-salamander
This is called the half-salamander because your eyes are moving while your head is kept still, similar to a salamander’s behavior.
- Sit or stand in a comfortable position, with your head facing forward.
- Shift your eyes to the right without turning your head.
- Tilt your head towards your right shoulder and hold for 30 to 60 seconds.
- Let your head come back up to its neutral position and shift your eyes to look forward again.
- Repeat the same steps on the other side.
The half-salamander stimulates the vagus nerves — a system that controls your heart rate — and triggers a relaxation response in our body

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
