What is Body Scan Practice?
Body scan practice is a form of mindfulness meditation where you focus your attention on each part of your body, starting from the toes and moving up to the head. It involves systematically scanning your body for sensations, tension, and areas of discomfort while maintaining a non-judgmental awareness.
