Description

On this episode we will learn a new skill : Body Scanning Benefits Include
-Greater Relaxation
It’s common to hold stress and tension within your body – this can look like tense shoulders, a stiff neck, or even stomach problems

When that occurs, you may feel this physical sensation and not be aware there is an emotional tie.
Learning the difference between your body’s actual physical sensations vs your emotional triggers can lead to a greater sense of relaxation from the mind body connection.

Pain Management
Your thoughts can be consumed by pain when your body is feeling it.
Body Scanning can help you separate pain’s physical sensations from the emotions and cognitive experience during pain.
Benefits of body scanning have been linked to improved quality of life when pain is reduced by retraining your mind.

Knowing Your Body
Body scanning can help build a sense of awareness. Your ability to notice physical sensations or pain will increase.
Over time as you pause to appreciate your body and how it is feeling you will learn as you go and have a better understanding of how your body works, and in return know how to take better care of yourself.
