Body Scan
A guided scan from feet to head — students release tension they did not know they had.
Releases physical tension stored from stress — students often do not realize how tense they are until they relax.
Instructions
Ask students to sit or lie comfortably with eyes closed. Guide them slowly from feet upward: notice your feet, relax them. Move to your calves, your knees, your thighs. Continue slowly up to the top of the head. Speak very slowly. Allow 5-7 minutes. End in silence.
