Body Scan Meditation

Vipassana Body Scan

Mindfulness

How to

Lying down or seated, move attention slowly and systematically through the body — typically head to feet — noticing whatever sensation is present in each area (warmth, tingling, pressure, or nothing at all) without trying to change it.

Benefits

  • Builds detailed body awareness
  • Surfaces tension held unconsciously
  • A gentler alternative when sitting still with the breath feels too restless

Practice

20-30 minutes, moving through the body at an unhurried, even pace rather than rushing to finish.
