What is a body scan meditation? A Mindfulness body scan meditation is one type of mindfulness meditation that promotes greater awareness of the physical body.

It uses the physical sensations of the body and visualization as an anchor to fix the mind in the physical body and more importantly, in the present moment.

Some teachers have described the mindfulness body scan as a powerful and simple way to connect with the physical body as a quick relaxation technique.

This has the immediate effect of helping to draw attention to and then release any areas of tension or resistance within the body before your meditation session. There are some concerns as well...

Body scan meditation has been researched very well and found to be effective for improving well-being, decreasing physical discomfort and pain, and reducing stress levels.

Anything in life that you put your focus on will be amplified to some degree, so just be aware that any discomfort, in the beginning, will ultimately benefit your meditation practice.
