What is a Body Scan?

A Body Scan is a meditation practice that involves bringing attention to different parts of the body, systematically moving from one area to another. This technique helps in releasing tension, promoting relaxation, and increasing self-awareness.

How to Practice a Body Scan

1. Find a comfortable and quiet space to lie down or sit comfortably.
2. Close your eyes and bring your awareness to your breath, taking a few deep breaths to relax.
3. Start focusing on different parts of your body, beginning from your toes and moving upwards towards your head.
4. As you focus on each body part, notice any sensations without judgment. Allow yourself to relax and let go of any tension you may be holding.
5. Take your time to scan through each part of your body, from your feet to your legs, abdomen, chest, arms, and head.
6. After completing the Body Scan, take a few more deep breaths and slowly bring your awareness back to the present moment.
