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.

  1. Sit or stand in a comfortable position, with your head facing forward.
  2. Shift your eyes to the right without turning your head.
  3. Tilt your head towards your right shoulder and hold for 30 to 60 seconds.
  4. Let your head come back up to its neutral position and shift your eyes to look forward again.
  5. 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
