Place the ball sock behind the upper neck, so the two balls are below ridge at the base of your skull (right above the hollow spot in the middle of your neck). Rest for 5 minutes. Breathe slowly. Listen to soothing music. The balls put pressure on acupuncture points and send messages telling muscles to relax, which can help relax your whole body.
