A short guided body scan exercise recorded by Jinesh Wilmott (13mins). This is a mindfulness based technique designed to assist with getting in touch, in a non-judgemental way, with thoughts, sensations and emotions, as they appear moment by moment.
This can be done at home if you have a quiet and comfortable space to lie down, or also sitting in a chair, if that is easier or more appropriate.
Best not to do while driving!

Since opening our doors in June 2001, the ASRC has become the largest provider of aid, advocacy and health services for asylum seekers in Australia. We work directly with asylum seekers, both living in our community and detention, to provide direct aid and support as they seek refugee status in Australia.
We also campaign and lobby on behalf of asylum seekers and all Australians who want to change the unjust policies that Australia has adopted. Most importantly, at times of despair and hopelessness, we are there to offer comfort, friendship, hope and respite.
