Today’s meditation is a tried and true exercise in mindfulness, direct attention, and curiosity… along with a dash of patience and appreciation. This is a body scan meditation and it’s perfect to kick off this week’s theme: flow.
A body scan meditation moves awareness from body part to body part and invites the themes of weeks one and two to be put into action… (1) smiling with what’s in the field of your awareness—creating space for it to be just as it is; and (2) generating steadiness by landing focus and lingering with the direct experience of particular parts of the body human… until it’s time to flow on to the next.
Can we be present moment to moment? Can we allow moments to flow, one to the next? Can we go with the flow? Can we stay with the flow? It sounds simple, and it is; but it’s not always so easy.
This meditation is a little bit longer than most. We hope you’ll stick with it. Perhaps you’ll even give it a try again later this week. It’s a great workout for your meditation muscles!
One more thing… you may choose to lie down for this one; perhaps on a yoga mat or a blanket spread out on the floor… getting comfortable, yet remaining alert.
Happy body scanning!
Thank you. Appreciate the meditation.
