Through Body Scans, one can reduce stress, improve physical and mental health, and achieve a deeper state of relaxation and sleep.
While yoga, massage, and progressive relaxation can all be effective methods for relaxing the body, body scanning is unique in that it allows the body to release deeper, sleepier relaxing hormones such as melatonin without the practitioner having to perform any special postures or movements.

Relaxing in this way can be done in a few minutes every day and has a very low entry barrier for the majority of people.
