Cosmic Body Scan

This can be practised anytime, anywhere.

Our whole body is made of chemical elements that were either synthesised at the very beginning of the Universe, or made inside a long-dead star. In this embodied practice, we’ll embark on a tour of your body, exploring how the different parts are made of chemical elements that were created inside different kinds of stars and supernovae.
