Have you ever experienced the luxury of a body scan?\u00a0 Have you ever heard of a body scan?<\/p>\n

This little-known technique releases tension effectively. Use it often. Your muscles, bones, and nerves will thank you!<\/p>\n

A body scan helps you release not only tension, but also pain, tightness, or warm areas.<\/p>\n

Begin your body scan by finding a quiet place where you can sit or lie in a comfortable position. As you get comfortable, encourage your breath to become deeper and slower.\u00a0 Lengthen your inhales and exhales.<\/p>\n

Focus on your toes.\u00a0 What do you feel?\u00a0 If you feel tension, allow your toes and feet to relax.\u00a0 Encourage tension to leave your body with every exhale.\u00a0 See the tension disappear into the air.<\/p>\n

Now, repeat this process as you work your way up through the rest of your body.\u00a0 Pay attention to your feet, calves, knees, thighs, hip and pelvic area, back, shoulders, upper arms, elbows, lower arms, hands, neck, jaw, face, eyes, and scalp.<\/p>\n

Notice what you find:\u00a0 Stress, tension, stiffness, cold areas,\u00a0tight muscles.<\/p>\n

When you reach your scalp, reverse the process and move your attention back down your body. When you finish, you will be back with your toes.<\/p>\n

Now, notice how your feet feel.\u00a0 What about the rest of your body?<\/p>\n

Stay with this feeling for a few minutes.\u00a0 Enjoy the relaxation and calm\u00a0 for as long as you want before ending the session.\u00a0 Take as much time as you wish.<\/p>\n

When it is time to end the scan, move your body just a little.\u00a0 Shift into the here and now.\u00a0 Let the calm soothe your body – from the toes to the top of your head.<\/p>\n

Take a slow, breath and join the here and now at your own pace.<\/p>\n
