In case you aren’t familiar…
Body scanning is a powerful relaxation technique mostly used in Yoga Nidra meditations and mindfulness practices. It promotes deep, effortless relaxation for the physical body and mind, allowing you to achieve a level presence, grounding, and calm mind.
When practicing body scanning you bring your awareness to different areas of the body in a VERY specific direction. The direction of the body scan is actually quite important, as it determines the effect that you’ll get from the practice.
Body scanning is best practiced lying down in Savasana (Corpse Pose), but can be done seated if needed.
