Settle in for a slow scan
Your attention moves slowly from your feet to your head. The words fade, and the quiet between them grows longer. Lie down, dim the room, and keep your phone within reach but face down.
Eyes open is fine. If lying still with your attention on your body feels uncomfortable, stop, or use the touch option. If you are still awake after about 20 minutes, you can get up and reset.
About this tool
Lie down, get comfortable, and let your attention travel slowly through your body. The words appear gently and fade, and the pauses get longer as you go. There is nothing to do right. If you drift off, that is exactly the idea.
Pick this one if you are in bed and ready to drift off.
