So I just want to say that I’ve done scanning meditation in the past, both successfully and un-successfully. I’m great at focusing when it’s guided, but my mind wanders if I do it alone as a grounding/comforting-in-the-moment tool. I’ve never thought to exhale word and phrases while scanning. Today I just kept repeating “I am calm - I’m at peace - I am safe” with each breath and each body part I relaxed. I feel much more confident now in my abilities to scan without guidance!
