We often hold tension in the body without realizing it. By becoming aware of these sensations and consciously releasing them, we can create a deeper sense of calm. In this meditation, we focus our mind on one area at a time, usually starting from the feet and moving upwards, bringing awareness to the tension and breathing relaxation into each area. How does this improve sleep? One of the main barriers to restful sleep is lingering stress or mental overactivity. Our days are often spent in our sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight), while sleep allows us to shift into the parasympathetic state, where we can rest, heal, and recharge. Body scan meditation helps ease this transition, calming the mind and softening the body, preparing us for better sleep.
