- The top of your head
- Eyebrows
- Nose
- Cheeks
- Tongue
- Ears
- Neck
- Shoulders
- Biceps / triceps
- Forearms

- Spine
- Chest
- Abs
- Booty
- Quads
- Hamstrings
- Knees
- Shins
- Calves
- Feet
- Toes
- Now, let it all dissolve into a cloud of sensation
- Is there any discomfort? Any pain? Itchiness? Restlessness?
- Notice it in detail
- Don't try and fix it, or judge it
- Just notice
- Be grateful for your body working so hard
- Think how much we ask of our bodies
- Walking around
- Carrying heavy objects
- Sitting for hours
- Appreciate all your body does for you, and consider what you can do for it
- Think of a good night's sleep as a gift to your body
- The same with a nutritious meal or physical exercise, even stretching
- Your body will be with you for your entire life, it's best to take care of it accordingly
- Now, explore the sensations in your body
- If you find yourself lost in thought, come back to the feeling of your body resting on the floor / chair
