BODY SCANNING
"Objective:
Getting in touch with bodily sensations as a point of departure for self-empathy.
Process:
1. Think of a difficult situation you experienced recently.
2. Instead of trying to identify the evaluations or initial feelings, take a deep breath and exhale slowly.
3. Create some spaciousness and calm so that you can come back into your body and bring awareness to your bodily sensations as you remember this difficult situation.
- What do you notice?
- Allow yourself to hold space for these sensations without trying to change them.
- What is going on with your body?
Partner reflection:
What did you notice?
Did anything shift or settle?
Did you learn anything?"
