The body scan is moving attention in turn through the different regions of the body. In this practice a person travels step by step through the body from the toes to the head, noticing what they feel in each region. The body scan is a common mindfulness practice that develops body awareness and brings a person to the present moment. This practice is often done with non-judgmental observation, without trying to change anything. Listening to the body from head to foot refreshes contact with it.
