Developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn within the clinical Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) curriculum, the Deep Body Scan is one of the most thoroughly researched somatic relaxation modalities in behavioral medicine. Moving sequentially from the toes up to the crown of the head, practitioners cultivate non-judgmental interoceptive awareness, allowing held chronic stress to discharge from deep myofascial tissues. The Body Scan Deep Relaxation Tool provides a paced, soothing 15-minute guided visual journey through every muscle group.
