1. A method of relaxation, comprising:
providing a device comprising an attaching component at a proximal end of the device, an extension element that is substantially rigid, and a handheld component at a distal end of the device;
inserting the attaching component at the proximal end of the device such that at least one contact surface of the attaching component is positioned on a user's bottom front teeth within a user's mouth without application of a force on the attaching component by the user with a user's jaw;
positioning the extension element of the device proximate to a user's chin, wherein the extension element extends from the attaching component in an outward and downward direction in a curvilinear shape from the user's mouth toward a distal end of the device beneath the user's chin; and
applying a force to the handheld component at the distal end of the device that is substantially aligned with the at least one contact surface of the attaching component, wherein the handheld component is fixedly coupled to the attaching component via the extension element, and wherein the force is transferred to the user's jaw in a direction along an axis of at least one of the user's bottom front teeth from the handheld component to the attaching component via the extension element to distract the user's jaw downward while the user is not applying a force on the attaching component with the user's jaw, thereby stretching and relaxing a user's jaw muscles and activating a user's parasympathetic nervous system to relax the user.
