"Just relax. Just experience the internal relaxation forever" Yogi Bhajan
"In the modern time, your problem is your fatigue. Your tiredness, your overdoing, your headache is there, you take aspirin. Don't you understand aspirin doesn't cure headache? It numbs it. All medicines you take on the counter are to numb your senses. All drugs, these hard drugs, the liquor, whatever you take in your life, is to numb your senses. Rather lying down relaxing, going in a Shavaasan and just letting it to go to refresh your cells and your memory and your life, give rest to your brain and to your body, you keep on drinking coffee. That's enough to kill your sensitivity."
"Do not stop yawning if you feel yawning. And let it go because you have to learn to relax. A person who does not know how to relax and will always not in a position to act right. Car which cannot stop can never also avoid the accident."
"Relax it. Because, in the back of the jaw, seventh vagus nerve is always uptight and this is source of trouble. Just relax. Just experience the internal relaxation forever. Relax your eyes, relax your mouth, relax every part from neck onward. Let your mouth be open. Let it fall.

The meditation introduces naturally yawning to relax. It's natural, release stress held in the jaw, neck, shoulders, nervous system.
Keep letting go and relaxing every muscle and every part of the body. Enjoy yawning. I'm okay with allowing natural yawning sounds if it comes naturally. Try yawning with this meditation for a few minutes each night if you have difficulty sleeping or feel fatigued. Try for a few minutes and work up to 20 minutes. If your not yawning, then try opening the mouth comfortably-wider in a relaxed manner. Enjoy this letting go yawning vagus nerve exercise.
