Find a quiet, comfortable place to lie down or sit. Rest comfortably, and gently allow your eyes to close. Start this exercise by squeezing and releasing specific muscles. First, clench your fists, continue tightening, and then unclench them. Next, tighten your legs; now let them go. Scrunch up your face tight, tighter, tighter! Now relax your face. Go through each body part, tightening, then relaxing. Now make all parts of your body as tight as you can and count to five. Relax your whole body by letting your muscles go soft. How do your muscles feel when they are all tight? What does it feel like when they relax? Continue playing this game, refining which muscles to tighten and then relax.
