Awareness is like the sun. When it shines on things, they are transformed.<\/i><\/p>

I have talked extensively about the benefits of\u00a0meditation for your language learning<\/a>\u00a0practice. Having a calm mind will result in a more efficient Spanish practice, but what if you combine meditation with Spanish at the same time? Like, listening to a guided meditation in Spanish, for example?<\/p>

One of the first elements in a guided meditation is a body scan (escaneo corporal<\/i>), which helps you drop into your body. Only doing that body exploration is powerful in itself, but when you do your body scan in Spanish, you are feeling the body parts while listening to the Spanish word and you are doing it in a complete state of calm and focus.<\/p>

You are transforming mind into matter. Words into reality.<\/b><\/p>

When you do a body scan in a Spanish guided meditation, you are going beyond the brain understanding of the word, you are creating a connection between the word with the body part forming a neural pathway in your brain.<\/p>

And this, my friend, is the way to internalize the language!<\/p>

So, let\u2019s do this!<\/p>

I have recorded a 4 minutes body scan in Spanish for you to listen to. Below, you will find the transcription and then, a vocabulary list with the body parts in Spanish.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
