body scan
Head-to-toe check
A body scan is a medical imaging procedure that captures the interior of the body—CT scans, MRIs, and airport security scans all qualify.
In meditation, a body scan is a practice of systematically directing attention through different body parts, noticing sensations without judgment: Start the body scan at your feet and work upward.
