The Body Scan is designed to help you feel and bring awareness to the many sensations that occur throughout your body. Practicing it regularly may build your body awareness and help you relate differently to pain and difficult emotions in the body. Some people report feeling relaxed and refreshed afterward.
The Body Scan is a variation of a Burmese Vipassana meditation practice that involves scanning the body for physical sensations. This meditation is also done in various yoga practices. The Body Scan is used in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), created by Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D.
