Mental Fitness - The Body Scan Meditation

This short guided body scan can help us to begin to understand how stress and anxiety takes hold and can be supportive in aiding rest, relaxation and recovery. A mindful body scan is a useful technique to help you learn what your body does and doesn’t need in order to get the best from it. During the body scan meditation we become aware of where in our bodies we hold physical tension. We can notice minor aches and pains which could indicate injury and become aware of where in our body we hold emotions we find difficult.
