Welcome to a three-minute body scan practice.
Please take a moment to sit or lie down as we prepare to drop in,
Be present with the mind body just as it is,
And to deepen our practice.
Now that you've found your place,
Gently close your eyes.
You can also use the breath to help ground yourself into the present moment simply by becoming aware of the natural birhythm going in,
Going out,
Breathing in,
Breathing out,
Moment by moment.
Now bringing your awareness to your feet and noticing sensations in the soles,
Your toes,
The tops of the feet,
And up into the ankle joints.
Mindfully looking as if you've never noticed these sensations before.
Now moving up into the lower legs,
The knees,
And upper legs.
Continuing on our mindful awareness,
On up into the hips,
And just being aware of the hips,
The legs,
Ankles,
And feet.
And whenever you breathe out,
Just let it all go,
And our new inhalation shifts our attention to the torso,
The back region,
Up into the chest.
