Body Awareness Guide
This guided practice will help you take a moment to pause, breathe deeply, and check in with your physical body. This practice isn’t about judgment—it’s about awareness, compassion, and noticing what’s ready to shift.
✨ Step 1: Ground Yourself
- Sit down in a comfortable position.
- Take 3 deep, slow breaths—in through the nose, out through the mouth.
🌀 Step 2: Body Scan
Read each section one by one, writing down or noticing how you’re feeling when you sit quietly considering each question. Feel free to close your eyes, if you feel safe to do so, while you’re thinking of each question.
Gently bring your attention to each part of your body starting at the crown of your head and slowly moving down to your toes. As you scan, ask:
- What sensations do I notice here? (Tightness, tingling, heaviness, ease, etc.)
- Am I holding any stress or tension in this area?
- Does this part of my body feel open or closed?
- What does this part of my body want me to know?
🌿 Step 3: Reflection
- What did I learn from checking in with my body today?
- Are there areas asking for more attention, care, or movement?
- Where am I holding onto something that’s ready to be released?
- What does my body want me to know when I get quiet and listen?
- What would I like to say to my body today?
🌞 Bonus: Invite Shift
Place a hand on your heart or any area that called for healing. Say gently to yourself:
“I see you. I hear you. I’m open to letting go. I’m open to a new experience. I love you.”
