To do this meditation, close your eyes and mentally scan your body from head to toe, observing any sensations, tension, or discomfort.
Focus on one body part at a time, spending a few moments concentrating on that and nothing else, noting any sensations you feel.
Doing this mindfulness technique for even just a few minutes can help connect your mind to your body, helping you to calm down and relax.
