On the bed we're lying on the stomach making massage with a rhyme:
I close my eyes, thinking nothing, all my toughts and problems are far behind me, I only listen and feel
It's warm, sunny day- we stroke the back
I feel warmly and nice, as well more and more pleasant.
Sun is shining stronger and stronger, I feel well
Suddenly the wind starts blowing, a warm and nice wind blows- the movement of hands become quicker. I feel warm and pleasant wind, wind blows stronger and stronger.
It starts spring, warm rain- we imitate rain with the fingers
Single drops falling on me
Rain become stronger and stronger. I feel more and more drops, a downpour starts
From far away we hear thunders and lightenings. We draw a lightening on the back.
The storm comes closer and closer, the strong wind blows, it's raining and the wind is blowing
Slowly the wind chase clouds, a storm become calms down it's quieter and quieter and nice
From behind the clouds the sun appears and lighten the world, I feel again well and safe
