Transcript

Inner smile.

Close your eyes and settle your body.

Take a couple of breaths to relax yourself,

Especially your facial muscles.

Gently lift the corners of your mouth into a little smile.

Remember to breathe fully and deeply while wearing the smile and notice how you feel.

If the feeling does not come immediately,

Remind yourself of a moment of immense joy.

Once you generate the feeling of the smile,

Let that felt sense of joy cascade down the rest of your body.

Stay as long as needed or until joy is radiating through your entire being.

Beautiful!

Who would have thought just the simple acts of smiling could be a form of meditation and healing as well? Haha, this was beyond pleasant. Thank you for your kindness and guidance. 🩵🙏🏾

Wonderful words. Thank you!!

So true. Smiling is a two-way street. You smile when you’re happy, of course, but if you’re unhappy, or struggling with something you can make yourself smile and you will suddenly begin feeling a miraclulous shift in your mood for the better. It will be subtle at first, but it’s undeniable. Thank you for sharing this powerful little tool.
