Today’s exercise for practitioners of mindfulness is called the Body Scan Exercise. It requires no extra object,props or tools, and it is also easy to practice.

We will LEARN about the BODY SCAN EXERCISE. During this practice step we'll FOCUS and pay close attention to physical sensations throughout the body. The intention is to just notice and become more aware about it.

The body scan process is a slow process, use it as a medium to ground yourself in the PRESENT MOMENT. A typical Body Scan runs through each part of the body, paying special attention to the way each area / part feels. The scan usually moves systematically through the body, e.g. starting at the feet (toes, ankles) and moving upwards starting from feet, lower legs, knees, thighs, pelvis, stomach, chest, lower/upper back, hands (fingers, palms, backs), wrists, arms, shoulders, neck, face (jaw, mouth, nose, cheeks, ears, eyes, forehead), head/hairs and after the travel up your body completely, begin to move back down, through each body part until you reach your feet again.

You can use following steps to start the process:

• Step 1: Sit down on a comfortable chair with feet resting on the floor or sitting comfortably on floor. You can also do the Body Scan by lying on your back with palms facing up and your feet falling slightly apart.

• Step 2: Stay very still for the duration of the exercise, and move with awareness if it becomes necessary to adjust postures / sitting position;

• Step 3: Start the Body Scan. Begin by bringing awareness to the breath, noticing the rhythm, the experience of breathing in and expelling out. Don’t control the way you are breathing but rather just hold gentle awareness on the breath;

• Step 4: Relax, Now bring your attention to the body: how it feels, the touch of, air / clothing against the skin, the contours of the surface on which the body is resting, the temperature of the body and the environment;

• Step 5: Bring your awareness to the parts of the body that are tingling, sore, or feeling particularly heavy or light. Just notice the difference in sensitivity, in-sensitivity or hyper-sensitivity.
