The concept of body awareness refers to the internal understanding of the body in space and in movement. As children, we develop body awareness or body IQ by engaging in games such as Simon Says and jumping, climbing, running, and playing. Studies show that enhancing body awareness is a key element for therapeutic mind-body approaches such as yoga and TaiChi.
Although this meditation session and body scan are tailored to children, adults can still benefit from enhanced body awareness.
