Day 25. Body Scan Friday

Today’s class, closed out the session with a head to toe body scan. I wanted to list out the practice here so you can continue/try it at home.

During your next meditation, I want you to start by being the attention to the breath. Get a handful of deep diaphragmatic breaths before bringing your focus to the muscles of the face.

-relax and allow the eye lids to feel heavy

-release tension from the cheeks.

-finally, bring the tongue from the roof of your mouth, down.

-relax the shoulders, sinking them away from the ears

-let the arms feel heavy and your hands be pulled towards the floor.

-release the stomach tension.

-let the belly button relax

-allow the hips to feel heavy and sink to either side.

-check the quads to make sure you are not holding onto tension

Finally

-relax the ankles.

-let your entire body feel heavy.

Going through this whole body scan will reveal where you hold onto muscle tension. This insight will also shine light on where you store the every day stressors in the body.

Take your time friends,

Daniel.
