The Inner Awareness meditation encourages mindfulness of physical feelings, emotions, and breath, helping you to become more aware of the present moment. By observing bodily sensations without judgment, this meditation fosters inner calm, clarity, and a greater understanding of how emotions and thoughts manifest physically, promoting overall well-being.

Instructions:

  1. Sit comfortably in a relaxed yet straight posture, ensuring your spine is aligned. Gently close your eyes.

  2. Take a few deep breaths, allowing your body to settle into stillness and become present.

  3. Bring your attention inward, beginning a slow scan of your body from head to toe.

  4. As you scan, notice any areas of tension, warmth, coolness, or energy without judgment. Simply observe.

  5. With each breath, allow yourself to soften and relax deeper into the sensations you are experiencing.

  6. If your mind begins to wander, gently redirect your focus back to the physical sensations of your body.

  7. Continue this practice for 10-20 minutes, cultivating a deeper connection and awareness of your inner experience.
