Day 2️⃣ A body scan is a mindfulness meditation practice that involves systematically focusing on different parts of the body to become more aware of bodily sensations. It can help reduce stress, improve well-being, and decrease aches and pains.

Here’s how to perform a body scan:
Close your eyes
Start at the top of your head and mentally scan down your body
Focus on each body part for about 20-30 seconds
Notice if you feel any sensations, discomfort, or tension
If you encounter areas of tension, focus your attention on them and breathe
Try to visualize the tension leaving your body
Return to the area of the body where you last left off if thoughts or feelings arise

Body scan meditation originated in the 1970s with the popularization of mind-body stress reduction techniques. It’s often used as part of a longer mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program, but it can also be done as a standalone practice. It is part of our awareness week on the 28 day journey to a Smiling Mind course 🙏🏻

Our beta testers are starting the 28 day journey to a Smiling Mind audio course today. Week 1 is all about awareness and the first day is about mindfulness. Mindfulness can improve many aspects of both mental and physical health. I invite you to spend a bit of time today, paying attention to something on purpose. Whether that be the weather or the washing up, having focused attention on any simple task or experience can be really powerful. Enjoy x

Been away for a while, distracted by this thing called life! But we are back, myself and Yolanda, and we have something exciting planned…this is a message from Yolanda:When I met Vic Waugh we instantly bonded over a shared love of dance, nature, yoga, meditation, and breathwork. With the equally fabulous Becks Trece we arranged nature walks, started a daily meditation group, Vic showed me the magic of forrest bathing and I had us in fits of giggles practicing laughing yoga.

We decided to start working together 2 years ago and have been slowly developing a course called ‘a 28 day journey to a smiling mind’. It’s a series of meditative audio guides, 2 - 15 minutes in length, building awareness, exploring connection, learning how to embrace life’s difficulties, and practice self-care.

I’ve been listening to these guides over the last week while going through some tough personal times and it’s been fabulous for reminding me to have a daily practice.

I’d like to start sharing what we’ve made, it’s not perfect, but it’s ready to get out there, so from October 1st I’d like to get a small group of Beta Testers into a WhatsApp group where I’ll share the daily audio for 28 days. It would be great to get some honest feedback, so if you want to get involved, send me a DM and I’ll put you in the group

If you’re not quite ready for the course but want to stay updated on what me and Vic are working on stick around here and or follow our page (link in bio)
