Put your body into your normal meditation posture and this can be done seated or lying down.
And put your back and spine straight but not tense.
And imagining that your spine is really just your vertebrae stacked one on top of each other comfortably.
And relax your shoulders.
Keep the head evenly balanced and slightly tuck your chin in.
Let your tongue touch the palate in your mouth.
And relax your face.
If you haven't yet,
Go ahead and close your eyes or hold a soft gaze.
And relax your face.
And relax your face.
And relax your face.
And relax your face.
And begin to relax your face,
Loosening your jaw muscles,
Cheeks,
Chin,
Lips,
Eyes,
Forehead,
And even your ears.
And feel these parts of your body becoming relaxed and calm.
And as you're noticing these parts of your face,
Go ahead and turn the corners of your mouth upward in a slow,
Gentle smile.
So turning the corners of your mouth up into a slow,
Gentle smile.
And focus on the feeling inside as you start smiling.
And this will move the attention away from any thoughts that come to trouble you.
And focusing on the feeling inside as you start smiling.
And connect this outer physical smile with the existential smile.
And you'll know when it happens,
When you connect this outer smile with the inner smile that you feel internally,
The smile that exudes happiness on the inside of your body.
And now,
With your eyes still closed,
See your eyes smiling too.
And now,
With your eyes still closed,
See your eyes smiling too.
And next,
Move your awareness to the cheeks,
Chin,
And ears.
And allow them to smile as well,
Noticing maybe that the physical act of smiling affects these parts of your body too.
So when you smile,
Your ears go up a little bit,
Your chin tucks in.
So noticing the awareness you have over your whole face when you hold this gentle,
Slow smile.
And once you have the inner smile established in your face and head,
Move down to your neck and let your neck smile too.
And keep moving lower until you have every body part and internal organ smiling.
And bask in this warm,
Peaceful energy that's radiating within your body.
This smile that you've allowed to first start with the corners of your mouth and go through the entire body.
So still holding that smile in the corners of your mouth and noticing the rest of your body smiling with it internally.
This is a quick connection with your inner self through your beautiful smile.

Waking up the body,
And becoming aware of the sounds around you.

And empathy.
You are giving yourself love,
Compassion,
