Your Inner Smile

Smiling is a gift that we’ve been given to live our life with more grace, lightness and joy. In this meditation we will explore our inner smile, a smile that comes from our heart but can reside in our whole body. Together we’ll discover that a smile doesn’t need a cause, it can just arise from nothing and open us up to everything. A knowing smile can transform our deepest fears and challenges like nothing else.

With love, Andy

Now I invite you to connect with your heart.

So doing this any way that feels right.

You can place your hand or both your hands there.

Just bring your awareness,

Your mind,

Down into the centre of your chest.

Take a few deep breaths.

And now smile on the inside.

You can imagine yourself smiling from your heart.

And as you smile from your heart,

Gently notice where your troubles are right now.

Just resting on your heart with this knowing smile.

And if you have physical pain,

A challenging life situation,

As best you can,

Smiling alongside it.

See what it's like just to smile with it,

With compassion.

And that smile can contain joy,

But it can also contain some sadness.

Sometimes joy and sadness can meet together.

They're not actually so different.

They both come from our heart.

And they both lead back to our heart.

Taking a deep breath in.

Breathing out.

And gently open your eyes when you're ready.
