Body Scan
Hey friend 💜 Your body’s been carrying a lot. Maybe you haven’t had a chance to stop and feel it — or maybe you’ve been feeling too much. This quick body scan helps you tune in, let go, and fully relax.
What is a body scan? (and why it works!)
This practice brings awareness to your body part by part, letting you actively tense and then release. It’s like pressing a reset button for tight muscles and stuck energy. It can also help you feel more grounded and connected from head to toe.
When to use this tool:
When your body feels stiff or heavy
Before bed to help unwind
During moments of anxiety or overwhelm
Anytime you want to reconnect with yourself
How to do it:
Lie down and take a full breath in through your nose, settling down deeper as you exhale.
For 3 seconds, tense all the muscles in your feet; and then, with a long exhale, release and relax your feet completely.
Repeat this process with each part of your body, working upward all the way to your face and head.
When you’ve scanned your whole body, rest in stillness and notice how you feel.
Pro tip:
You don’t have to be perfect. If you skip a body part or feel silly, that’s okay — just showing up for yourself counts. Your body is your home, and it loves when you check in and tend to it.
