- Start by bringing your awareness to the top of your head. Notice any sensations without judgment.
- Slowly move your attention down your body, focusing on each body part sequentially.

- Continue this process until you reach your toes, encompassing your entire body in a state of relaxation.
Benefits of Body Scan Meditation:
- Reduces stress and anxiety levels
