15 Minute Body Scan / A Mindfulness Meditation Practice

The body scan is a key component of many mindfulness based programs. It has been shown to be helpful with treating depression, anxiety and chronic pain. Most programs recommend doing a body scan daily for at least two weeks and then shuffle it into your regular weekly practice when you find it is needed. The goal is simply become aware of how you are feeling in the present moment with non-judgemental awareness. One should not expect it to be easy or even improve over time, rather one can learn to be aware of how they feel from day to day while practicing the body scan.

Thank you for this lovely body scan. Your voice is very soothing and you make me feel secure.

I like this body scan overall, it doesn't come across as too "woo woo" which will appeal to my clients. And as others have said, I would much appreciate an updated version that includes the arms/hands/obliques.

Dr. Rosen, thank you for expanding your patient videos to include meditation. With an upcoming knee replacement in april, I've watched all your knee replacement videos. I feel much more comfortable having an idea of what's coming up. I sure hope you are going to create a series of meditation videos as expansive as the knee replacement information. These are very helpful.❤

Thank you for this, though I am wondering why you skipped the arms?
