This 15-minute guided meditation walks your attention slowly from the top of your head to the soles of your feet, noticing what is tight and what is already at ease. You finish with a clear read on where your body has been holding the day. Safety note: Keep your eyes open and stay aware of your surroundings. Your safety always comes first. Follow the audio only as far as it's safe to do so. What you'll explore: How a head-to-toe scan surfaces tension that has gone quiet enough to ignore. Why moving attention slowly works better than trying to relax on command. The way each part of the body reports in differently once you are walking. How to get the most out of this walk: Choose a flat, familiar route so you can give your attention to your body instead of the sidewalk. Start slower than feels natural, since the scan needs room to move.
