Talk to your body and let go of tension
The tension of modern people often hides in their bodies. The eyebrows involuntarily furrow, the shoulders stiffen and lift, and there is pressure on the chest. We are accustomed to ignoring the signals sent by our bodies and allowing anxiety to accumulate little by little. Body scanning meditation is a gentle self dialogue. Find a comfortable position to sit or lie down, and relax your whole body. Slowly shift your attention from the top of your head and slowly move downwards. Feel the tightness of the forehead and allow the brow center to relax; Loosen the tight jaw and release the clenched teeth; Release the weight accumulated on your shoulders and let them sink naturally. Continue down, feel the chest and abdomen, and feel the soft expansion and contraction of the abdomen when breathing rises and falls. From the arms, palms, waist, abdomen, legs, all the way to the toes. Stay at every place and feel the sourness, tension, or numbness there. No need to exert force to change the feeling, just simply see: it's tight here, it's tiring here. Many emotions don't just stay in the heart, they are stored in the body. Anxiety turns into shoulder and neck pain, and internal friction turns into inexplicable fatigue. When we touch our bodies with awareness, those suppressed emotions will gradually relax. When meditating, don't expect to immediately become relaxed. Sometimes I feel tired, sometimes I feel aggrieved, and that's normal. Allow all feelings to exist without judgment or resistance. We are always busy taking care of others and completing tasks, and rarely calm down to spend time with our own bodies. This period of meditation belongs only to you. Let go of all responsibilities and expectations, feel the physical body at this moment, and accept all exhaustion. As the body gradually relaxes, the heart also softens down.
