body scan

Post here if you are just starting out with your mindfulness practice. Mindfulness is a really difficult concept to get your head around at first, and it might be that you would benefit from some help from others.

The other day i woke early and decided to try a body scan. Its about m third time but this time as i focused on each body part i felt a tingling in each area and when i finished felt at ease (i awake every day with aches in my neck and back as i.have arthritis. Does anyone else get this feeling while doing body Scan? I Will def. Try to wake early more often to be able to do this before going to work . Great Kick start to my day!

See my post in the long-time meditatos section. I have had trouble with the body scan meditation before in the past, and I have found myself avoiding it. Mindfulness of body is coming slowly but surely for me; It is something that I intend to work hard on in the new year.

NdsUpdate on the body scan

I have done 3 body scans this week 3 days in succession . I continue to feel a tingling sensation in each body part as i focus my attention on it, yesterday the tingling was more intense especially in my hands and i felt like i pulled the tingling into my arms it was weird. today as i began the scan i had to make an effort to be with my other body parts and my concentration
strayed away from my feet and other body parts , guess i just wanted to get to my hands! where get most tingling sensation , when i reached my hands i found i was disappointed when i didnt feel any sensation there and travel on up my arms i Could not Could focus and ended up finishing the scan there as felt i Couldnt continue and was quite disappointed. Will get back to it in a,few days though. What do you think about this?o
