Reasons to do the Four Way Ear Pull:

· To ease TMJ

· To hear better

· To see better

· To release hips (the jaw and the hip are kissing cousins—release one and the other benefits)

Do three breaths in each position:

1. Inhale and exhale deeply

2. Inhale and yawn

3. Inhale and move your lower jaw to the right and left back and forth.

 

to be done firmly to the point  of “that hurts so good”

The four way ear pull for three breaths, one deep, one with yawn and the third a yawn with gentle lower jaw wiggle.

 

1.     Buddha ears – Grasp ear lobes and pull down almost to the point of pain – opens the Eustachian tubes … keep continuous downward pressure as you take three breaths...one deep one...one with a yawn and one where you gently move the lower jaw back and forth.

2.     Elephant ears – Grasp ears firmly and pull out away from head firmly almost to the point of pain  – opens the Eustachian tubes …

    keep continuous outward pressure as you take three breaths...one deep one...one with a yawn and one where you gently move the lower jaw back and forth.

3.     Dr. Spock ears – Put index finger in ear just below the top of ear about 1/4 to 1/3 inch at deepest part of ear and press in and pull up firmly just to the point of pain – opens the sinus cavities  … keep continuous inward and upward pressure as you take three Breaths...one deep one...one with a yawn and one where you gently move the lower jaw back and forth.

4.     Open Says Me – Put index finger in ear canal with fingertip towards nose and press firmly toward front of face. (when you breath and yawn and move lower jaw you will feel the TMJ joint and it will be very sore....gently apply more pressure and move finger to facilitate release of the TMJ) – adjusts jaw/hip… keep continuous pressure forward as you take three breaths...one deep one...one with a yawn and one where you gently move the lower jaw back and forth.
