Physical Wellbeing
Taking care of our physical health is just as important as our emotional health. While we may be practicing staying at home, that doesn't mean we can't do things to take care of ourselves physically.

A body scan meditation is when you pay attention to all of the different parts of your body and bodily sensations in a gradual sequence from your head down to your feet.
This practice allows us to become aware of our body and what we may be carrying around.
