Tune into Sensations + Body Scan Practice

Are you feeling overwhelmed or stressed? Taking a moment to tune into your body's sensations can help ground you in the present moment and promote relaxation. One effective way to do this is through a body scan practice.

What is a Body Scan Practice?

A body scan is a mindfulness exercise that involves bringing attention to different parts of your body, noticing any sensations without judgment. This practice can help increase body awareness, release tension, and calm the mind.

How to Do a 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, then slowly move your attention up through each part of your body, one by one.
4. Notice any sensations you feel in each area, such as warmth, tension, tingling, or relaxation.
5. If your mind wanders, gently bring your focus back to the present moment and continue scanning your body.
6. Take your time and be gentle with yourself throughout the practice.

Benefits of Body Scan Practice:

• Reduces stress and anxiety
• Improves body awareness and mindfulness
• Helps with relaxation and better sleep
