Hey friend,
This is Coach Kayton,
And I want to welcome you to this moment of connection
with your body.
In the hustle and bustle of our day-to-day lives,
It's easy to become disconnected
from the signals our bodies are sending us.
We've normalized the constant motion,
The never-ending to-do list,
And the rush from
one task to the next.
But amidst the chaos,
Our bodies are speaking to us quietly,
Asking for attention and care.
So today,
We invite you to pause,
To listen,
And to reconnect with the wisdom of your body
through this 5-minute body scan.
Begin by finding a comfortable position,
Either sitting or lying down,
Allowing yourself to
settle into a sense of ease and stillness.
Close your eyes if that feels comfortable for you,
Or simply soften your gaze.
Starting at the top of your head,
Bring awareness to this area.
Notice any sensations present here,
Perhaps a feeling of warmth or coolness,
Tingling,
Or simply the weight of your head against the surface beneath you.
Take a moment to name these sensations,
Acknowledging them without judgment.
Now slowly shift your attention downward,
Moving to your forehead and eyebrows.
Notice any tension or relaxation in this area.
If you encounter any tightness,
Gently invite it to soften with your breath,
Allowing your
forehead to smooth and relax.
Continue down to your eyes and your cheeks.
Notice the subtle sensations around your eyes,
The gentle movements of your facial muscles.
Name any sensations you notice,
Warmth,
Tingling,
Or simply a sense of ease.
Shift your focus to your jaw and your mouth.
Notice if there is any clenching or tightness present.
Allow your jaw to relax,
Letting your teeth part slightly as you release any tension you
might be holding.
Now bring your awareness to your neck and throat.
Notice any sensations as you swallow or breathe.
If there's any tightness or discomfort,
Simply notice it and breathe into that space,
Allowing
it to soften and release.
Shift your focus to your shoulders and upper back.
Notice any areas of tension or release in this part of the body.
Name any sensations you might be feeling,
Heaviness,
Lightness,
Warmth,
Or perhaps even
a sense of openness.
Continue scanning down through your arms,
From your upper arms to your fingertips.
Notice any sensations in your elbows,
Forearms,
Wrists,
And hands.
Allow yourself to fully experience these sensations,
Observing any subtle movements or changes.
Now bring your attention to your chest and abdomen.
Notice the rise and fall of your breath as you breathe naturally.
Notice any sensations of expansion or contraction in your chest and belly,
Allowing each breath
to be a gentle wave of relaxation.
Shift your focus to your lower back and pelvis.
Notice how your body makes contact with the surface beneath you.
Name any sensations you feel in this area,
Pressure,
Warmth,
Or support.
Finally,
Bring your awareness to your hips,
Thighs,
Knees,
And calves.
Notice any sensations in your legs as they make contact with the ground or surface beneath
you.
Name any sensations you notice,
Tingling,
Heaviness,
Or lightness.
Take a few deep breaths,
Allowing yourself to fully inhabit your body in this moment
of presence and awareness.
And when you're ready,
Gently open your eyes if they're closed,
Or simply transition back
to the space around you,
Carrying with you a sense of connection and mindfulness.
I want to thank you for taking this time to honor your body and your well-being.
