The purpose of a body scan in mindfulness is to bring awareness to different parts of the body and relax tense muscles. During a body scan, individuals typically focus their attention sequentially on different areas of the body, noticing sensations, tension, or discomfort, which can help promote relaxation and mindfulness. It is not primarily intended for health analysis, fitness evaluation, or stress identification, although it may have secondary benefits in those areas.
