Body scan: From your toes to the top of your head

Move your attention slowly through your body, noticing each sensation without trying to change it. Deeply relaxing, and great for sleep.

Lie down or sit comfortably. Starting at your toes, bring your attention to each part of your body in turn: feet, ankles, calves, knees, and all the way up to the crown of your head. Notice warmth, tension, tingling, or nothing at all, without trying to fix it.

It's one of the best practices for falling asleep and for reconnecting with your body after a day spent in your head.

Helps with

  • Sleep
  • Stress
  • Feeling grounded
  • Reconnecting with your body

Try this

Do a slow body scan in bed tonight. If you fall asleep before reaching your head, that counts.

Meditation and breathwork are safe and helpful for most people, but not medical treatment. If a practice brings up distress, stop and ground yourself. People with a history of trauma, dissociation or psychosis may do best practicing with guidance from a qualified professional.
