What will be covered in this session?

In the first part of our Mindfulness Plus session we will be moving attention through the body during a guided body scan to support body-mind integration while relaxing and opening to the play of sensations. This will be followed by a group discussion and short talk on embodied mindfulness as a way to develop whole beingness and loving, connected presence. In part 3 of our session there will be time for questions and answers.
