What is Mindful Body Scanning?
Mindful body scanning is a relaxation technique that involves focusing your attention on different parts of your body, one at a time, to help release tension and promote relaxation.

- Start by bringing your attention to your toes. Notice any sensations you feel in this area.
- Slowly move your attention up through each part of your body, one by one, paying attention to any tension or discomfort you may be holding.
- As you scan each body part, breathe deeply into that area and imagine releasing any tension with each exhale.
