tips of the toes and we say, okay, and you're guided to do this.

So you're going to focus your flashlight on that, you know, like your big toe and you're going to kind of progress through the body.

And again, wherever you're being guided to pay attention, you're going to wander off, you're going to come back.

And this allows you to have sort of a moving target, if you will.

But the other really powerful aspect of this body scan practice, which is what it's called, is you start really understanding what's going on in the body.

And what you start even getting a sense of is, oh, sometimes when I'm like having a really hard time, you know, when I get to my shoulders and I feel like there's a knot in my shoulders, it's accompanied by a particular thought or a set of emotions or a memory.

So we're getting a sense that the body is embodying what our mind and our life is all about.

And that helps us, again, grow in a familiarity and intimacy about ourselves.

what's going on with us.

So the body scan practice still strengthens all three of the systems of attention and has this extra bonus of making us more familiar with our embodied life.

All right.

So go ahead and sit comfortable, upright, alert posture, and you can lower or close your eyes, whichever you prefer.

Just direct it there.

All you're doing with your flashlight there is just noticing any sensations happening in the big toe.

And as we end this practice, let's just take the entire lower part of our left leg, broaden the flashlight out so we've got the entire part from tips of the toes all the way to the knee.

Totally fine.

But that's really cool that you noticed that.

That is really a win.

So the fact that you noticed, wow, I had this whole conversation.

When I said mindfulness is about paying attention to our present moment experience without conceptual elaboration, you just experienced conceptual elaboration.
