How do you feel after your body scan?

[julia-mojo]

Bonus reflections:

• Did your mind wander?

• Where in your body did you notice any tension?

• Have you ever noticed that same tension during intimacy before?

• What would it be like to have sex after practicing this technique?

[rare-violet-reptile]

Super relaxed. No pressure to perform

[good-tan-puma]

Lots of tension

[productive-azure-mongoose]

My jaw and my waste and groin.

[varied-tomato-cephalopod]

My mind wandered some, but I was overall focused on what I was doing. I felt most tension in my jaw and belly but was able to mostly relax those areas along with the rest of my body.

[pleased-crimson-reptile]

Felt relaxed and sleepy

[common-brown-bandicoot]

I struggle with staying present and hold a lot of tension all over my body but mainly in my pelvis which I think can affect me during sex. This exercise and slowing down I think will help

[western-cyan-llama]

I hold a lot of self judgment and then perceive external judgement even when there isn’t external judgement. If I simple notice my body without judgment, I begin to escape this cycle.

[implicit-olive-bat]

I hold tension in my jaw and neck

[functional-violet-hawk]

I hold tension in my jaw, hips and lower abdominal area. Yes, I have felt tension in my belly just before sex and quadriceps if I am on top.

[expensive-lavender-manatee]

Yes my mind started to wonder alot and it was hard to bring it back into my body but I could sometimes do that

[rural-teal-bass]

My mind wandered a bit. Felt a weird like relaxing sensation near the end with breathing though.

[slimy-blue-chameleon]

My back kinked up when I laid down so initially it was hard to get in the zone. But after listening and simply breathing in and out, I managed to find this very relaxing and something I would definitely do again

[inner-apricot-wolverine]

I really liked the idea of highlighting the areas where men carry tension. For me it’s my jaw and stomach for sure

[realistic-aqua-penguin]

My mind did wander though I realised and came back to it. It’s a great way to release the tension. It should help with relaxing and enjoying sex more

[hard-olive-barnacle]

Yes these was really good after the practice my body feel tired I think I was holding into a lot

[free-scarlet-porcupine]

I didn’t realise how tense I was. Good to take time to breathe and relax.

[colourful-chocolate-rat]

Managed to stay focused. Helped relax tension

[brief-plum-squid]

I love doing exercises like this. It was tough today because my back is sore, and I had to get my attention off of that.

[intimate-indigo-parrotfish]

I have ADHD, so my mind wandered a bit, but I mostly managed to focus on the exercise
