Welcome to today's meditation where we're going to do an advanced body scan. Let's begin by taking a moment to allow your body to settle into a comfortable position. You may close your eyes or keep them slightly open, Allowing the spine to lift. And the shoulders to soften. Today we will practice a body scan. Taking a full breath in. And a long breath out. Begin by bringing your attention into your body. Notice the feeling of the weight of your body. On the chair. Or the floor. Or wherever you are. And as you breathe. Notice how your chest and abdomen expand. To allow the air to enter your lungs. What sensations are you aware of? And as you inhale. And exhale. Bring awareness to the stillness. And notice the sense of relaxing. More deeply. Now bring your attention to the top of your head. Noticing any sensations in the scalp. Down the back of the head. To the sides. To the face. Notice your jaw. If you're holding any tension in your jaw. Allow your face to be soft. Relax the muscles around your eyes. And your mouth. Breathing in. . . Breathing out Now notice your neck. And your throat. Let them be soft. Notice your shoulders and arms. Feel any sensations. As you allow your attention to move from your shoulders. Down to your upper arms. The elbow. Your forearms. Down into your wrists, Hands and fingers. Noticing any tightness. Any temperature sensations. Noticing what the fabric of your clothing feels like against your skin. Now bring your attention to your chest and abdomen. Feeling the movement in your chest as you breathe. Bringing your attention to your stomach noticing if your stomach is tense or tight. And just allowing it to soften. Noticing the upper back and the lower back. If you're holding any tension there also. Letting it release. Now continue traveling down to your legs. Your thighs. Your knees. Calf and chin. Your ankles. And finally bringing your attention to your feet. Noticing the sensations of your feet. Against the floor, The ground. Noticing any weight. Sense of temperature. Feeling of energy perhaps present in the feet. And as you continue breathing in and breathing out Now noticing the whole body. From the top of your head. All the way down to your toes. Staying with the sense of the whole body. For a few more breaths. And as we close. Continue remaining aware of your body. As best you can. As you finish with a full deep breath in and a long, Slow, Deep breath out. And whenever you're ready, Allowing your eyes to open. Bringing your attention back to the room.
