Body scanning
In this environment, the patient will find himself in the middle of a relaxing meadow where he will be able to practice the body scan, one of the most important techniques in relaxation programs based on Mindfulness. It consists of mentally going through all the parts of one’s body so that a full consciousness develops. Through this exercise, the patient will notice the tensions and pains that are in their body so they can correct them.
This environment can also be used to perform a Relaxation by induction within the program of Jacobson’s progressive relaxation, with a mental path through the body, but with the difference that one does not practice the part of voluntary tension and relaxation of the muscles.
To start the exercise, the healthcare professional should select the Play button and an audio will be played with instructions on the parts of the body to focus attention on. In addition, the patient will be able to observe that both in the human figure and in his own avatar, a light will appear illuminating the part of the body to which attention is directed.
