Fresh out of the shower and raring to head off to work you double check…”keys, wallet, cell.” All set. Or so you think. What about your body? While your head is fast forwarding to next week your body is still waiting for you to notice it this morning.
Mental stress transfers into body tension and visa versa.
Since the moment you opened your blurry eyes the mind has already created enough drama and tension anticipating how your day will unravel. So, coupling your yabbering thoughts with any body unease will only amplify your stress levels. Set yourself on the right track for the day by awakening the entire body with this mindfulness exercise created by yours truly.
The following is a video shot in the Pilates studio I am currently teaching in here in Melbourne. It’s the perfect set of visualizations and imagery to center the body, align the skeleton, and clear the mind.
The last little bit is an extra tip on the fabulous wonder fruit, Acai. Learn more about this little purple berry here. Also don’t mind the bags under my eyes. This week I am running the studio for the owner while he is on vacation. By the end of the week I’ll have taught 30 classes and a handful of privates. All the more money to travel with!
I hope you can enjoy and utilize this body scan often.
