Grounding Exercise for Racing Minds: Calming Meditation with Dora Kamau

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
As mentioned above, reducing stress and tension is one of the primary benefits of body scan meditation, which in turn can have many positive physical benefits including reduced inflammation, anxiety, and insomnia. What's more, through regular mindfulness body scan meditation, you can train your mind to respond more effectively to stress. Instead of ruminating on or battling with stressful thoughts and feelings, we learn to gently lean into them, essentially diminishing their power over us.
2. Grounding
Often, our body is doing one thing while our mind is elsewhere. A body scan meditation can help to sync our mind and body, pulling us away from the noise in our mind and into the present. Plus, regularly checking in with our body can help us identify aches and pains early on, before they become too serious.
3. Increasing self-compassion
Often during body scan meditation, we may notice something that feels bad in our body, or we may become frustrated when we notice our mind wandering. Regular practice can help us approach these situations with gentleness and acceptance; eventually we learn how to approach situations in our everyday life with the same compassion.
