"Your Body Hears Everything Your Mind Says"
— Naomi Judd
Ever feel tension in the shoulders and jaw in stressful situations? Or a nagging stress headache?
This is the body reacting physically to what the mind is saying. Practising letting go of tension in the body through a full body scan, and reminding yourself to physically soften your muscles, can help combat tension created by the mind.
How to Do a Body Scan
- Get comfortable, either seated in a chair or lying down. Close your eyes.
- Start at the toes, feet and legs, and slowly work your way up the body to the crown of the head.
- To help keep your mind present as you move through the scan, focus on your breath alongside each body part you're relaxing.
- Once you've completed the entire body, make a note of where you felt you were carrying the most tension. Did one side of the body feel more tense than the other? Simply observe, without judgement.
