Stress Body Scan
Guided check-in to identify where you hold tension physically
Stress often shows up in the body before we consciously recognize it. This guided check-in helps you scan each body area, identify where you hold tension, and get targeted relief suggestions.
How to do this scan
Close your eyes briefly. Bring your attention to each body area one at a time. Notice any tightness, pain, heaviness, or discomfort. Rate what you find honestly -- there are no wrong answers.

Forehead, temples, jaw, eyes
Neck & Shoulders

Abdomen, digestive area, lower back

- Regular scanning: Check in with your body 2-3 times daily

- Act early: Addressing mild tension prevents it from becoming chronic
