There is more right with
you than there is wrong
with you, regardless of
your condition.

After only a few sessions of body scan, you may begin to spontaneously bring awareness to the body during everyday activity at
home or work, alone or with others. You may more readily pick up
on warning signs such as muscle tension in your back, neck or jaw.
You may notice you are more relaxed in meetings and conversations. You may notice you are listening more and listening with
kindness. You may use the wait in the grocery line or at the traffic light to bring kind attention to a body area that deserves your
attention or to the body as a whole.
Over time, the formal practice of body scan meditation and
other mindfulness practices may change your relationship to your
body and your mind, your emotions, other people and yourself.
