Body Awareness – Basic Body Scan

To identify areas of the body that feel tense or tight, try this:

• Close your eyes and take 2 – 3 nice deep breaths. Let the breath calm and relax you.

• Now make an intention to scan your body. Start with your head and work your way down to your feet. Notice any sensations of tension or tightness as you scan your body. 

• If any areas feel tense or tight, breathe into those areas and imagine them loosening and subsiding. 

• Finish up by picturing a beautiful white light filling you from above. Let the light soothe any additional areas that feel tense or tight.
