Body Scan Meditation

This meditation accompanies chapter 6 of my book, Mindfulness Meditation and the Art of Reiki. One of the benefits of the Body Scan is the powerful integration of mind and body that it provides whilst keeping the mind moving. Certainly, for beginners, this constant flow of movement can be easier than trying to focus for long periods on a single focus-point. The Japanese approach to the Body Scan given here is always to start at the top of the head and work down towards the feet.
