The “body scan” technique is a great way to cultivate the gentle curiosity we need to bring to a meditation. What’s a body scan? Imagine a photocopier scanning slowly over your body, detecting any physical sensations without analysis or resistance. Let’s try it together, shall we? Pause. Notice your scalp. Forehead. Jaw. Neck.
