Your turn!

Question 1 of 2

In a body scan, how do you notice your body?

The story

Quarky does his first body scan, slowly noticing his head, shoulders, tummy, and toes. He finds sleepy spots and wiggly spots, and lets each one soften.

What you'll learn

  • A body scan means noticing each part of your body slowly and gently.
  • Some spots feel sleepy, some feel wiggly, and both are okay.
  • Noticing a tight spot can help it soften all by itself.
  • Calm takeaway: slowing down and noticing your body helps it relax.
  • Quarky takeaway: your body is always talking to you, and it is worth listening.
