Stillness Practices
Body Scan
Somatic / Body-Centered
A slow, meditative sweep of attention through every part of the physical body without moving a muscle.

Instructions
Get perfectly still: Lie down comfortably and commit to staying as still as a statue.
Start at the toes: Bring all your awareness to the tips of your toes on both feet, noticing any warmth or tingling.
Move up the legs: Slowly glide your attention up through your arches, ankles, calves, and knees.
Scan the torso: Bring your awareness into your hips, belly, lower back, and chest, watching them move with your breath.
Scan hands and arms: Feel your fingertips, palms, wrists, and forearms, letting them go completely heavy.
Soften the jaw: Move up to your neck, jaw, cheeks, and forehead, intentionally softening any microscopic tension.
Rest in the whole body: Imagine your whole body glowing with awareness from head to toe for a few quiet minutes.
