Body Scan (20 min)

Before doing the Body Scan meditation for the first time, please read Description of the Body Scan. A 32-minute version of this meditation is also available.

If you like, after doing this for a week or so, you might choose to do it without guidance at all. This is totally a matter of preference - some people choose to "go solo" after a time, and others always use the recorded guidance. If you do decide to do this meditation on your own, you can use the 20-minute silent meditation which is totally silent except for the three chimes that end the meditation.

If you would like to access this meditation at times or in places where you don’t have internet access, the easiest way is through Insight Timer. The basic service is free, but downloading the meditations for offline access requires a paid account, which is about $10/month.
