Short Body Scan

This is a very brief body scan to provide a way to step into the moment and out of a ruminating mind when time is limited. If practised regularly this is a track that could be easily self guided and done at regular times in the day to provide grounding throughout stressful times or simply a moment to connect with your body.

Transcript

A short body scan. Take a deep breath in and slowly exhale. Bring your attention to the top of your head. Notice any sensations across your scalp, Forehead and around your eyes. Let the muscles in your face soften, Your jaw, Your tongue, Your shoulders. Feel your awareness travel down through your neck and into your shoulders. Allow them to drop away from your ears, Releasing any tension. Now move your focus down through your arms, Your elbows, Wrists and into your hands. Feel the gentle weight of your hands resting wherever they are. Bring your attention to your chest and belly. Notice your breathing, The gentle rise and fall with each breath. Shift your awareness down to your hips and legs. Feel the contact with the surface beneath you, Supporting your weight. Continue down through your knees, Calves, Ankles and into your feet. Notice your toes grounding you to the earth. Take one final deep breath in and as you exhale, Feel your whole body relaxed, Calm and present.
