Module 4 Body Scan - Body Scan with Movement

with Dina Asher Kushnir

Introduction to Body Scan
Mindfulness directed toward body sensations teaches us to interpret the language of our life force. By engaging in sensing, inner seeing, and visualization, we explore the body as a microcosmic landscape. This practice offers two transformative benefits:

Deepening Concentration and Focus: Focusing on body sensations sharpens our presence and concentration.

Promoting Healing: "Where the mind goes, energy flows." By directing attention to specific areas, we activate the body’s natural healing processes, releasing tension and fostering relaxation.

Emotions are stored in the body as “pockets” of tension or discomfort. This practice helps soften these areas through loving attention, allowing emotions and memories to surface for healing and release. Approach this journey with gentleness and compassion.
