Mindfulness
Body scan meditation
By Lotte Borch
Get into your body – away from your head!
Bodyscan meditation is a good way to begin your practice, focusing on the breath in the body. Bodyscan is about directing your attention to your bodily sensations.
The energy you put into the exercise is more important than the pose itself. See the exercise as a time you set aside to give yourself positive energy and attention. It is your gift to yourself, where you accept yourself completely as you are. Don't try to change anything, but feel your body part by part, as precisely as possible. Be curious about your experience, watch your thoughts and feelings.
Try to let go of judgmental thoughts. Give yourself permission to be who you are and feel it, even if you may not feel anything at first.
Start with your breath. Feel the breath in your belly…
“Mindfulness is about learning to step into your life and practice conscious presence. To direct your attention to the moment.”
