About this session
- Eases pre-call nerves
- Builds calm confidence
- Releases body tension
- Sharpens present focus
Vasavi Kumar guides a slow body scan that begins at your left foot, climbs the leg, crosses to the right side, then travels through your pelvis, back, chest, arms, neck and face. At each stop you simply notice what is there, even if it is nothing, with curiosity and kindness.
It suits anyone who feels a flutter of stress before appearing on camera, whether for a team meeting, a client call or a catch-up with an old contact. Try it in the morning, around midday or late afternoon, in the quiet minutes before you log on.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
Why does the scan move from the feet up to the head?
It gives your attention a simple, orderly path. You begin with the left foot, passing through toes, sole, heel, top of the foot, ankle, lower leg, knee, thigh and hip, then repeat on the right. From there you rise through pelvis, lower back, abdomen, upper back, chest and shoulders, then the hands and arms, neck, throat, jaw, face and scalp.
What if I can't feel anything in a part of my body?
That is fine. Vasavi says a lack of sensation is also something you can notice, so there is no right thing to feel. The scan is about observing whatever is present, including temperature, points of contact with the surface beneath you, or nothing at all.
What am I supposed to do with my worries about the meeting?
After the scan, you turn the same noticing toward your thoughts, worries and fears about the call. You are asked to observe them with intention, without rejecting, criticising or condemning them. The phrase to hold on to is see and let go.
How does a body scan help with confidence?
It is not a pep talk. Early on, Vasavi names the trepidation you may feel before a call, then invites you to meet it gently by noticing your body. Tuning in this way can make you feel steadier, so you arrive more present and ready to give value in the conversation.
What happens in the closing moments?
Vasavi counts back from three to bring you gently into the room, awake and present. During the count she offers wishes: may we be peaceful and at ease, may our hearts be soft and open, may we be safe and protected. She extends them to everyone known and unknown to you. The last words you hear are that you are more than ready for your meeting.
