Body Scan Jon Kabat-Zinn

I just listened to track two of the body scan. I'm really glad that I listened to Anne's advice about keeping my legs sort of upright so that if I started to fall asleep they would drop and wake me up. That certainly happened about twice. At the very beginning though I thought I was really in tune and paying attention. It seemed like my thought pattern was going exactly along with what he was saying, and that if I did drift into the "thought stream" that he would say something right afterwards like "don't worry if you end up drifting into a thought." Also when I concentrate that hard on something like that I usually tend to get this very nice sort of tingling sensation in my head. It's hard to explain, but that definitely kicked in while I was starting to relax. It was nice to be so aware of the physical and the now. I thought I would be really tired afterward, so I scheduled 15 minutes where I could nap, and I tried, but for some reason instead of napping, all I could do was just think constantly. I think that's a good thing. I think I'll put that to better use next time.

Very fun.
