00:01

Speaker A

Welcome to today's meditation, where we're going to do an advanced body scan. Let's begin by taking a moment to allow your body to settle into a comfortable position.

00:17

Speaker A

You may close your eyes or keep them slightly open, allowing the spine to lift.

00:26

Speaker A

And the shoulders to soften. Today, we will practice a body scan. Taking a full breath in.

00:43

Speaker A

And a long breath out. Begin by bringing your attention into your body.

01:25

Speaker A

Notice the feeling of the weight of your body on the chair or the floor or wherever you are.

01:40

Speaker A

And as you breathe, notice how your chest and abdomen expand to allow the air to enter your lungs.

02:23

Speaker A

What sensations are you aware of? And as you inhale and exhale, bring awareness to the stillness and notice the sense of relaxing more deeply.

02:35

Speaker A

Now bring your attention to the top of your head, noticing any sensations in the scalp.

02:52

Speaker A

Down the back of the head, to the sides, to the face. Notice your jaw.

03:07

Speaker A

If you're holding any tension in your jaw, allow your face to be soft. Relax the muscles around your eyes.

03:46

Speaker A

And your mouth. Breathing in. Breathing out. Now notice your neck and your throat.

04:12

Speaker A

Let them be soft. Notice your shoulders and arms. Feel any sensations as you allow your tension to move from your shoulders

04:25

Speaker A

Down to your upper arms, the elbow, your forearms, down into your wrists, hands,

05:10

Speaker A

And fingers. Noticing any tightness, any temperature sensations. Noticing what the fabric of your clothing feels like against your skin.

05:39

Speaker A

Continuing to breathe in, and to breathe out. Now bring your attention to your chest and abdomen.

05:57

Speaker A

Feeling the movement in your chest as you breathe. Bringing your attention to your stomach.

06:26

Speaker A

Noticing if your stomach is tense or tight, and just allowing it to soften. Noticing the upper back and the lower back.

07:00

Speaker A

If you're holding any tension there also, letting it release. Now continue traveling down to your legs,

07:22

Speaker A

Your thighs, your knees, calf and shin, your ankles, and finally bringing your attention to your feet.

07:49

Speaker A

Noticing the sensations of your feet against the floor, the ground. Noticing any weight,

08:32

Speaker A

Sense of temperature, feeling of energy perhaps present in the feet. And as you continue breathing in

08:44

Speaker A

And breathing out, now noticing the whole body from the top of your head

09:05

Speaker A

All the way down to your toes. Staying with the sense of the whole body

09:43

Speaker A

For a few more breaths. And as we close, continue remaining aware of your body

10:00

Speaker A

As best you can. As you finish with a full deep breath in and a long slow deep breath out.

10:09

Speaker A

And whenever you're ready, allowing your eyes to open and bringing your attention back to the room.
