Teacher Notes (not visible to students)

A body scan is moving your awareness throughout the entire body noticing what sensations are present. The benefits of body scans are improved sleep, anxiety and stress relief, greater self-awareness, increased self-compassion, reduced pain, and even reduced cravings. [As of 10.22.20]
