Body Scan Meditation

This guided meditation teaches how to systematically and intentionally moving your attention though the body, attending to the various sensations in different regions. It involves systematically sweeping through the body with the mind, bringing an openhearted, compassionate, nonjudgmental attention to the various regions, customarily starting from the toes and moving up through the body to the head. Connecting the breath with awareness of each region of the body is an important element of the practice. This meditation activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which induces calm and relaxation throughout the body and mind. 
Note: This meditation is best performed while lying down with arms alongside the body,  however, if it is not possible for you to lie down, sitting up right in a comfortable position is acceptable.
Meditation Length: 25 minutes.
