Many reports of mental health impacts from COVID-19
Paradoxically, however, psychotherapy is more developed.
People can receive various types of psychological treatment through the Internet or by applying various programs.
Among these programs, body scan meditation was one that benefited.
Participants performed the body scan by image with a person (facilitator) assisting the body scan.
At this time, perform body scan meditation with a dog or a pillow/blanket.

If you scan the body with the elk, the hang-bucks are doubled!!!
Also, the facilitators who helped the participants felt less stress and anxiety and felt connected with people.
-> People who meditate grow together
Limitations: It may be their effect because you used a puppy or your favorite pillow/blanket
