Great question Indigo! One that I find helpful as well.
The technique I use in meditation is to focus on my breathing. Feeling itches and sensations is normal. Use your judgment to determine whether the itch can be ignored or scratched. Sometimes the sensation goes away on its own. But releasing awareness of the body is kind of hard when your attention is focused on an itch that won't go away on its own.
I haven't mastered losing track of bodily sensation and focus yet. I've had times where, for a moment, I would "lose track" and it felt different! Like I was floating, there was a sense of lightness.
So I would recommend daily persistent practice and focusing on one's breath. I'm doing the same thing though. Maybe others on this forum have some insights to share!
