Being aware of my body
You are quietly laying on a mat or sitting on a chair to become more aware of your body.
1. What is your “body”?
2.
Which parts of your body are you most aware of?
3.
Which parts of your body do you use the most?
4.
Which parts of your body do you use the least?
5.
Which parts of your body get sore and tired at the end of the day?
Act A
Let us explore one way to help you become more aware of your body. Sit comfortably or lay down on a blanket on the floor. Notice your breath – is it slow? Fast? Make it slow and steady. Keep breathing and notice your feet and legs. Make them tense and hold as I count to four: 1-2-3-4, then relax them as you keep breathing. Notice your belly and chest. Tense them (1-2-3-4), now relax them. Keep your breath steady and notice your shoulders and arms. Tense them, hold 1-2-3-4, Relax. Keep breathing. Take a deep breath that goes from your toes all the way up through your body. Notice how your breath helps you calm down inside.
Act B
How did this make you feel? What did you learn? Think of as many different ways as possible that you can use what we have just done to help you relax.
