The Body Scan Meditation

A reflection from the Mind Sanctuary phone app.

A body scan is a mindfulness practice that brings awareness to every part of your body, releasing stored tension.

How to practice: 1. Lie down comfortably and close your eyes 2. Start at the top of your head, notice any sensations without judgment 3. Move slowly down: forehead, eyes, nose, mouth, jaw 4. Continue to neck, shoulders, arms, hands, fingers 5. Scan your chest, stomach, back, hips 6. Finally, legs, feet, and toes

Spend 10-20 seconds on each area. If you find tension, breathe into it and imagine it dissolving.

This practice deepens body awareness and naturally relieves physical tension built up throughout your day.
