Befriend Your Body: A Compassionate Body Scan

<p>In a time of stress, uncertainty, and isolation, Dr. Christine Runyan turns our attention to what often evades our awareness — the response of our nervous systems. As part of On Being's 2021 Midwinter Gathering, she offered this brief, practical, gently guided practice as an invitation to befriend your pandemic-beleaguered body, to “blanket it with a little bit of tenderness, a little bit of kindness.” Delve more deeply into Dr. Runyan’s wisdom in her <i>On Being </i>conversation with Krista, <a href="https://onbeing.org/programs/christine-runyan-whats-happening-in-our-nervous-systems/" target="_blank"><i>"What's Happening In Our Nervous Systems?",</i></a> and in our <a href="https://onbeing.org/wisdom/" target="_blank">Wisdom app course</a>, <i>Finding Replenishment.</i></p>
