Welcome to this body scan meditation.
Find a comfortable position,
Sitting or lying down.
Let your eyes gently close.
Take a slow breath in and out.
Let your body begin to settle.
Bring your attention to the top of your head.
Simply notice what is there.
Move down to your forehead and let it soften.
Release any tightness around your eyes.
Shift your awareness to your jaw.
Let it unclench and relax.
Bring attention to your neck and shoulders.
Allow any heaviness to drop away.
Move into your arms,
Elbows,
Hands.
Notice any sensation without trying to change it.
Now bring your awareness to your chest.
Feel the natural rhythm of your breath.
Move down into your stomach.
Let it soften completely.
Bring attention to your hips and pelvis.
Feel their contact and support.
Now your thighs,
Knees,
Calves.
All the way down to your feet and toes.
Sense your whole body at once.
Still,
Supported,
Present.
If you notice tension anywhere,
Breathe gently into that space now.
Take one final slow breath in and out.
When you are ready,
Open your eyes.
