By learning to focus and relax through body scanning, you can cultivate a sense of calm and presence in your daily life.

What is Body Scan?

Body scanning is a mindfulness technique that involves paying close attention to different parts of your body, gradually moving from one area to another. This practice helps you become more aware of your body, sensations, and emotions, promoting relaxation and stress relief.

How to Practice Body Scan

1. Find a quiet and comfortable place to lie down or sit.
2. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to center yourself.
3. Start by focusing on your toes, noticing any sensations or tension in that area. Take a few breaths to relax your toes.
4. Slowly move your attention up through each part of your body, from feet to legs, torso, arms, and head, releasing any tension as you go.
5. Pay attention to your breathing throughout the process, using it as an anchor to stay present.
6. After scanning your entire body, take a few moments to enjoy the sense of relaxation and awareness.
