Body Scan

This mindfulness exercise uses perspective of curiosity to develop an awareness of our bodies. This awareness can be helpful in guiding in noticing and regulating our emotions, and can help us become grounded and reach a state of wise mind. Please note, that for some people this can be an uncomfortable exercise, particularly if you have a history of trauma. Some parts of the body may be numb or uncomfortable or painful to notice. If this happens, you don't have to linger in those spaces; simply breath in to the place, exhale and continue on.
