In this practice we will use visualization and intention to invoke a smiling energy and channel it into our inner organs and energy centers.
We will wrap the organs with loving kindness and compassion that will help transform negative emotions into a new kind of positivity within us and awaken in our system our revitalizing and harmonizing pure life force.
Let us begin.
Sit comfortably on a chair,
Feet flat on the floor or crossed-legged.
Try to keep your back straight and at the same time soft and flexible.
Palms lay gently in your lap.
Press your tongue against the upper palate and close your eyes.
Create now a source of smiling energy in front of you,
Through visualization and feeling.
Imagine yourself smiling or someone you love and respect.
You can also raise in your memory times in which you felt peace and calmness,
In nature,
With close friends,
In meditation or elsewhere.
Bring now your awareness to the midpoint between your brows.
Let the forehead relax.
Let the smiling energy accumulate there gradually and fill the space between your eyebrows.
From there,
It will begin to naturally overflow into your body.
Let the smiling energy flow down to your face,
Relaxing the muscles in your face.
From there,
It goes down to the neck.
Let the areas through which it flows to soften and relax.
Now follow it as it goes down to the thymus gland.
This is a small gland that is located behind the sternum,
The chest bone.
It is the seat of an important part of our immune system.
Feel how this gland becomes nourished and vibrant.
From there,
The energy spreads to your entire chest,
Filling it with smiling,
Loving energy.
Feel how it softens the heart,
Making it more relaxed,
Making it calmer.
Thank innerly your heart for its vital activity in supplying all the organs with blood,
Oxygen and vital substances.
Allow the smiling energy to melt any negativity that is stored in the heart in the form of arrogance or hatred,
And feel how positive qualities of kindness and love emerge from the heart instant.
From the heart,
The energy flows to the lungs.
Smile into the lungs,
On both sides of your chest,
And feel how this positive,
Smiling and loving energy is dissolving any sadness and depression there.
As the smiling energy flows into the lungs and fills them,
Feel how virtuous energies of courage and righteousness begin to blossom and expand.
Let the smiling energy flow now to the liver,
Below your lungs,
And to the right.
As it is being filled with a soft,
Smiling energy,
Feel how any residues of anger are dissolved,
And instead a sense of kindness arises in it.
From the liver on the right side,
Let the energy flow to the left across the abdomen and into the stomach and spleen,
Below your left lung.
Let there negative emotions of worry and anxiety melt and dissolve from these organs,
And make way to positive emotions of openness and fairness.
The smiling energy fills the spleen and the stomach,
And from there flows naturally down to the kidneys,
Located on both sides of your middle back.
Smile to the kidneys and visualize them glowing in healthy,
Vibrant energy.
In our kidneys,
Fear is stored,
So let the smile dissolve the fear completely.
Continue smiling into the kidneys and feel how virtues of gentleness and kindness fill them.
Let the smiling energy fill the kidneys completely,
And from there,
Follow it as it flows into the urinary and sexual organs,
Filling them with a vibrant,
Smiling energy.
Place your attention again on the source of smiling energy in front of you.
Let the energy flow from this source onto the body through the mid-eyebrow point.
Visualize it like a stream that flows down into the organs,
Thymus,
Heart,
Lungs,
Liver,
Stomach and spleen,
Kidneys,
And urinary and sex organs.
Direct the smile into your eyes and let them smile gently.
From your eyes it flows into your mouth.
Imagine that you are now swallowing this smiling energy in the form of a ball of light.
The light goes through your esophagus,
Rolls into the stomach,
Goes through the small intestine,
Then the large intestine,
And then the anus.
Smile into your digestive system and feel it,
How it becomes warm,
Relaxed and calm.
Turn to your eyes and direct your smile to the brain,
Spinal cord,
And the entire nervous system.
Let any tension in them dissolve by the smiling energy.
Smile into the tension and let it melt away.
Bring the loving energy down into the spinal cord and back.
Feel how they become loose and relaxed.
Feel the spine,
How it expands and softens,
Making you feel taller.
Connect again with the source of smiling energy in your eyes and follow it as it descends down your body,
Like a waterfall.
A shower of smiles is pouring into your body,
Filling it with joy and love.
Let your entire body smile.
Connect to the smiling energy and let it spread throughout your entire body.
Our last step,
Which concludes the meditation,
Is storing the smiling energy in the navel.
The area of the umbilicus can safely store the overflowing energy created by the inner smile.
To collect the energy,
Simply concentrate on the navel area and around 4 centimeters into the body.
Let the energy move in an outward spiral around your navel.
Then reverse the direction,
Let it spiral to the other direction,
And bring it back into the navel,
Spiraling first to one direction,
A few rounds,
Followed by a few rounds to the opposite direction.
Now the smiling energy is safely stored within your body and can help you increase your vitality,
Health and balance.
