Mindfulness involves body scan exercises from "summary" of Mindfulness At Work For Dummies by Juliet Adams,Shamash Alidina
Body scan exercises are a key component of mindfulness practice. When you engage in a body scan, you're bringing your attention to different parts of your body, starting at your toes and moving all the way up to the top of your head. This process allows you to tune in to the physical sensations you're experiencing in each part of your body.
The aim of a body scan exercise is to cultivate awareness of your body in the present moment. By paying attention to the various sensations, such as tension, warmth, or tingling, you're developing a sense of connection between your mind and body. This heightened awareness can help you to recognize areas of tension or discomfort that you may not have been aware of before.
During a body scan exercise, it's common to notice your mind wandering or becoming distracted. When this happens, simply acknowledge the distraction and gently guide your focus back to the sensations in your body. This process of returning to the present moment without judgment is a central aspect of mindfulness practice.
Regular practice of body scan exercises can help you to become more attuned to your body's signals and better able to manage stress and emotions. By developing this awareness, you may find that you're able to respond to challenges in a more calm and centered way. So, the next time you're feeling overwhelmed or stressed at work, consider taking a few minutes to engage in a body scan exercise to bring yourself back to the present moment.
