Embodied Arm Scan: Effort, Rest & Movement

Our arms quietly support us all day — typing, holding, carrying, reaching, and bracing.
In this practice, you’ll explore how your arms naturally rest, move, and hold tension, both in stillness and with gentle movement.
You’ll bring awareness to sensation, circulation, effort, and ease — noticing how your arms respond to clenching, releasing, stretching, or simply being at rest.
This is an invitation to notice what’s familiar, what feels effortful, and what brings a sense of relief or openness.
This practice is part of a Body Intelligence series — building awareness by slowing down and listening to the body, one area at a time.
