Lemon Face Stretch
At the Dentist's Office!
Tension at the dentist's office? Try this lemon face stretch and you might
look so horrible that when the doctor arrives he'll flee out the door.
Imagine biting into a sour lemon. Your eyes squeeze closed, your mouth
and jaw tighten, your skin shrivels up like a prune. Feel the rigidity in
your neck, clench your teeth and see if you can squeeze your scalp. Try
to scrunch up your ears. Continue to breathe, holding everything as tight
as possible. When you're ready to release, inhale one last time and then let go. Now close your eyes gently and notice how you feel. Repeat as often as
necessary.
