Formal Practice Log week 1 – Body Scan

Body scan meditation...formal practice, links with the informal practice week 1 sheet – simple awareness...

Record on this form each time you do the Body Scan. The link for the body scan meditation can be found here --- https://www.anandamindfulyogi.com/resources-for-online-mindfulness-1

And also on my YouTube channel --- Ananda mindful yogi - https://youtube.com/live/hmVheh4obQU?feature=share

In the comment field, put just a few words to remind you of your impressions of that particular body scan: what came up, how it felt, what you noticed in terms of physical sensations, emotions, thoughts, etc. It’s important to write the comments immediately after the practice because it will be hard to reconstruct later.

Informal practice: each day this week, see if you can bring mindful awareness to some otherwise routine activity. Before you go to bed each night, see if you can recall at least one example of “simple awareness” and record it on the Informal Practice Log(simple awareness)

EXAMPLE –	My mind kept wandering off; I had to bring it back to the breath each time. I felt very relaxed listening to the body parts and began to become calmer and my mind wandered off less by the end of the meditation.
