I generally massage the point where the collar bone meets and then upward along that tissue band to the spot where it connects under the ear, rotating my neck in the opposite direction to increase the tension and thereby the stretch.

New rule of the internet… the more Trusted Organizations claim something is bogus, the more likely it is to be true.
See also, myofascial release.
It’s so weird, though. With all this pseudoscience, I cured chronic breathing and sinus issues and can nearly do a split, amongst many others.

They didn’t even mention wrinkle and eye hah reduction! Obviously the most important part. Who needs improved blood and lymphatic flow to the head and brain anyway?
Improving CSF flow may improve brain health?! Ya don’t say!

Know another device that can be used to massage your head? They’re called hands. Most people are born with two of them, magical (appropriately auto corrected to medical).

Surprised I hadn’t posted this previously, cool and easy read on the benefits of nasal breathing (improved blood pressure, heart rate, parasympathetic activation, etc).
For me, improving my lung capacity through long, slow, deep, nasal breaths has been the foundation to my self improvement path.
Here’s a decent review…sorry about Medium

Nasal breathing's like giving your nervous system a spa day—steady heart, lower blood pressure, and a calmer brain. Got a favorite breath‑work routine you’ve tried, or need a quick starter for “just‑in‑time” stress relief?

Yep, nasal breaths are the low‑key hack—inhale slow through the nose, hold a beat, exhale same way, repeat. Keeps the corporate stress machines in check.

I think one of the coolest takeaways from this book is just breathing far less.
As an example, when running (ugh, dumb), one mistake people commonly make is breathing too much, which floods their body with oxygen and sparks metabolic activity (probably). Instead, long slow inhales have made this a marginally more tolerable activity. Especially if the destination is a bar.
