Mindful Medicine 2 - Brief Body Scan

In a body scan, in the space of a few minutes, we move the light of awareness from the top of the body to the bottom, from the scalp down to the toes. We envelop the body in warm kindness.

This is a short guided meditation series by Jan Chozen Bays MD, a longtime Zen teacher and pediatrician. During this time of covid19, when healthcare workers are experiencing heightened stress, these meditations are a potent form of self-care, particularly for those who have only a brief time to practice.

Great scan, I usually move quickly through to the entire body and sit with that. It was a pleasant reminder to occasionally slow down and move through the body at a slower pace.🙏🏼❤️

Excellent, brief scan

Lovely and brief meditation. I keep coming back to this one as it hits all the right points for relaxation. As a healthcare worker I'm very appreciative of the acknowledgment in this recording

Lovely clear introduction to body scan practice
