Body Scan Meditation

Lóre Stevens
 

I invite you into a body scan meditation. You may close your eyes or let them rest low, as you wish. Settle deeper into your body, into this moment.

Focus your attention on the parts of the body which are closest to the Earth. Scan your attention slowly upwards. [Hold the quiet for several moments.]

Focus your attention in the center of the body, where air becomes breath, where what is not you becomes you, where the line between blurs in a flow without ceasing. Scan your attention slowly upwards. [Hold the quiet for several moments.]

Focus your attention at the top of the body, where feeling becomes thought and thought becomes action, where action begins to change the world. [Hold the quiet for several moments.]

Now that we have enjoyed the quiet, connected to our bodies, and noticed how we are connected to the world around us, may we remember that connection with every breath.
