Part of a new series of guided practices included in the FREE Plum Village App ➛ https://plumvillage.app The series is kindly offered by mindfulness teacher Sister Dang Nghiem. This audio offers guidance on the practice of mentally scanning your body.

As you get more in touch with the physical body, you develop the ability to mentally scan your body from the top of your head to the soles of your feet. Lying down in a comfortable position on the floor or other flat surface, allow yourself to relax, close your eyes, and move your awareness of your bodily sensations through your body from part to part. There is nowhere to go, nothing to do but be present with your body and give it your attention.

➛ The content of this audio draws on Sister Dang Nghiem's latest book, Flowers in the Dark (2021), a deeply thoughtful guide to healing trauma with mindfulness practice. By bringing together her lived experience as a survivor, a certified MD, and an ordained Buddhist teacher, she offers a body-based, practical approach to healing from the most difficult and painful life experiences.
