Meditation practice details

Body Scan Meditation

Body Scan Meditation guides attention gradually through different areas of the body. It can be practised lying down, seated, or in another supported posture without requiring any area to feel a particular way.

Guided practiceDuration confirmed by centre

Guided sequence

What to expect

Settle into a position that supports the head, back, and knees comfortably.
Move attention through selected body areas without analysing or changing sensations.
Return to the whole body and reorient gradually before changing position.

Before you attend

How to prepare

Choose comfortable clothing and tell the facilitator if sitting, lying down, silence, or closed eyes feels unsuitable.
Continue prescribed care and share any relevant guidance from your healthcare or mental-health professional.
Arrive a little early so posture options, the practice format, and permission to pause can be discussed.

Choice comes first

Safety and personal comfort

Keep the eyes open, move, change posture, or stop whenever the practice feels overwhelming or unsafe.
A shorter or externally focused practice may be more appropriate than prolonged silence for some participants.
Meditation does not replace diagnosis, prescribed treatment, crisis support, or urgent medical care.

Support remains connected

Stop and seek appropriate support if meditation brings persistent distress. Do not use this page to delay medical, mental-health, or emergency care.
