Body Awareness Meditation

For this meditation choose one part of your body and focus on it for several minutes. Simply place your attention on that part of your body and let it to fill your awareness. Allow any thoughts that cross your mind to drift away.

Notice how that part of your body feels the longer you focus on it. What sensations are there? Does the way it feels change the longer you focus on it?

When just starting, choose a smaller more specific body part like your heel, finger, or nose and then try bigger areas like your leg, arm, or head. Eventually you can try holding your entire body in your awareness.
