5 Minute Body Scan Meditation for Grounding | Ep 2

This short guided meditation is a simple way to reconnect with your body, calm your mind, and feel more grounded in just five minutes. Through a gentle body scan practice, you will be invited to slow down, notice your breath, and bring awareness to the sensations within each part of your body. By scanning from head to toe with mindful attention, you release tension, create inner space, and cultivate a sense of peace that supports you throughout the day.

A body scan meditation is one of the most accessible mindfulness practices. It helps reduce stress, relax the nervous system, and anchor you in the present moment. This 5 minute version is perfect if you are short on time but want to feel centered and connected. It can be used in the morning to set a calm tone for your day, during a work break to pause and reset, or in the evening as a way to unwind before sleep.

Whether you are brand new to meditation or returning to your practice, this body scan is designed to be simple, clear, and supportive. You don’t need any prior experience—just a quiet space where you can sit or lie down comfortably. Allow the guidance to lead you into awareness of your breath, your body, and the ground beneath you. In a world that often feels fast and overwhelming, these few minutes of stillness can help you feel balanced, rooted, and at ease.

Grounding meditations like this one are especially helpful when you feel scattered, anxious, or disconnected. By focusing attention on physical sensations, you reconnect with the present moment and restore balance to both mind and body. Over time, practicing body scans regularly can improve focus, lower stress, support better sleep, and deepen your connection to yourself.

Take these next five minutes for yourself. You deserve it.
