Stop and drop, but don't roll

One of the most important parts of the body scan is stopping. Put it down, whatever it is: your phone, the TV remote, your kid's homework, and especially that tire iron you're about to whack someone with.

Breathe: deep and from the heart

When is the last time you took a long, slow, deep breath, all the way down to your toes? Did you feel it, appreciate it, and thank your body for using that air to give you life? This is a chance to do that.

None of whatever that is required!

A body scan is simple. You can stand, sit, or lie down comfortably. It's just a matter of really getting in touch with yourself with your attention. Bring your focus back to your Self for just a few minutes.
