You are going to do an exercise to really feel your muscles stretching and then relaxing. Start with your face: can you open your eyes wide, and then your nose and mouth? Can you open your ears wide? And relax. Now see if you can stretch your hands as wide as you can. How big can you make your fists? Now let your fingers relax very, very slowly and let your hands drop down. And now stretch your arms as far away from your body as you can: stretch, stretch and stretch, then relax and let them become very heavy. Now stretch your neck as far as you can. And relax.

Stretch your toes as far as you can. And then relax. Stay in this lovely relaxed position for as long as you can. And now, when you are ready, wiggle your fingers and toes, have a big stretch and open your eyes.
