Somatic Body Scan For Digestive Flow

This gentle, guided meditation takes you on a slow ascent through the body, helping you release tension from your feet all the way up to your face. Through breath, awareness, and visualisation, you’ll soften areas that commonly hold stress, especially the belly, jaw, and shoulders. As your body unwinds, you naturally shift out of fight-or-flight and into a calm, restorative “rest and digest” state. Perfect for supporting nervous system regulation, digestion, and deep physical relaxation. Please note: This practice is intended for relaxation and does not replace professional medical or psychological care. As this meditation is designed to induce deep rest, please do not listen while driving or operating machinery.
