MBSR Body Scan For Embodied Presence

We consciously place our attention to different parts of the body, using each body part as a focus to anchor our awareness in the here and now. While our minds tend to wander, the body is always in the present. As we train ourselves to place our attention in different places at will, the body will help ground us, entering into an embodied presence instead of the often busy mind. This practice may help us learn to truly inhabit our body, feeling more secure and at home, wherever we are.
