Transcript

We're going to start by doing a short body scan meditation. This meditation will only take about five minutes. You can do it either sitting or lying, Whichever you prefer. Let's begin by taking a moment to allow your body to settle into a comfortable position. You may close your eyes. Or keep them slightly open. Allow your spine to be straight. And to feel the shoulders soften. The practice of a short body scan meditation allows our bodies to settle. Which in turn helps settle the mind. It also helps us to notice what physiological sensations and emotions might be present. Begin by taking a deep breath in and out. And a long breath out. Now bring your awareness to the top of your body. To your head. To your face. And shoulders. Noticing any sensations, Movements or any places that you might be holding tension. Now moving down to the arms and the hands. Feel what sensations are happening in your arms and your hands. Next we'll scan the back of the body and the front of the body. Scanning for what sensations you feel in the back of your body. And the front of your body. Feeling the contact of your body with the chair or with the floor or with the bed. Feel what that feels like. Now sensing your upper legs. Your lower legs. And your face. Noticing if there's any particular places that call out for your attention. Places where sensations feel more vibrant or more dynamic. Scanning to see if there are places where there's a lack of sensation. Or only a very faint sensation. Now sensing the whole body breathing. Feel your body breathing Breathing as one complete organism. Finishing our body scan meditation with three full deep breaths, Breathe in and down. Breathe in. And breathe out And again, Breathe in. And breathe out. I wish you a peaceful day.
