MM 6 Meditation: Mindful Challenge Meditation #1 (Mindful Body Scan)

Welcome to the 21 Day Mindfulness Challenge!! This is a time to push yourself, become open to change and see the transformation unfold. Every day there will be a new challenge, a description of the challenge and some tips and action steps. The daily challenges will build on each other and will gradually become more challenging. It is important not to skip a day so that you do not miss any necessary skills needed for future challenges. DAY 1: Mindful Body Meditation Preparation: Sit or lie in a comfortable position. Set a timer for 5-10 minutes. Take 5 slow, deep, calming breaths to get you into your meditative state. Mindful Awareness In this meditation you will be doing a body scan, focusing on the sensations of each part of your body. Focus on: Temperature, external sensations of clothing, air, feeling hair, the pressure of body weight, and internal sensations of tightness and relaxation. Spend anywhere from 10-30 seconds focusing on each, individual area. Once you have noted all of the sensations, move to the next body part. Start your focus on the bottom of the feet. Move up to the ankles, calves/shins, front and back of knees, front and back of thighs, hips, bottom, and pelvic area, lower back and lower stomach, middle back, and middle stomach, top back and chest, shoulders, neck, back of the head, face, and top of the head.
