Why do I yawn?
To yawn is a natural behavior found in humans and animals.
It usually consists of :
- Opening the mouth.

- Breathing out while stretching the jaw.
Causes of yawning
- Preparation of the body for sleep.
- Release of energy blockages.
- Tiredness.
- Evacuation of stress.
- Taking certain medications.
Why are yawns contagious?
When someone yawns, it makes me want to imitate them.
Yawning is a physiological phenomenon that unconsciously tells others that I am relaxing.
This social reflex, inherited from my animal part, indicates that I agree with the proposal of soothing.
Benefits
When I yawn, I free myself physically and energetically.
Physical release
By yawning, my body evacuates muscular or nervous tensions that could hinder my rest. Yawning is a natural self-relaxation tool, just like stretching.
It activates sleep hormones to prepare me for a good night’s rest.
Otherwise, when I yawn, it opens the Eustachian tube. This allows to regulate the pressure in the ears, especially during the descent in a plane.
Emotional release
However, the real secret of yawning is its energetic action.
My energetic body also accumulates tension.
When a blockage is released, I have several options for releasing the accumulated energy.
Stretching the jaw is a natural valve.
Emotions
Emotional memories cause energy blockages in the body.
When an emotional wound is healed, it is common to yawn.
I am discovering what to do with my emotions.
If I yawn when I wake up, it is because during the night memories were released.
Conclusion
What are the energetic benefits of yawning?
It is a natural relaxation behavior.
Too often, I have been taught to put my hand in front of my mouth and to yawn discreetly.
If I prevent myself from yawning fully, I limit its benefits.
