Let us always meet one another with a smile.
Peace begins with a smile.
Insightful words from Mother Teresa.
In this meditation,
You will experience the joy and healing effects of smiling,
And the pleasure of sharing that smile with others,
Including our planet.
Get in a comfortable position,
Either sitting or lying down.
Together,
Let's take a long,
Slow,
Deep breath in.
Slowly breathing out and relaxing your body.
And again,
A nice deep breath in.
Exhaling gently,
Connecting with your breath.
And one more long,
Slow,
Deep breath in.
Slowly release your breath.
And now settle into your breath,
And begin to scan your body.
Starting with your head,
And slowly working your way all the way down to your toes,
Noticing how you feel.
Now turn your lips up slightly to a partial smile,
And stay like that for a moment,
And scan your body again,
Observing any changes from before.
Do you feel lighter?
Did a sensation of joy come over you?
Perhaps a bit more peaceful even?
Now relax your face for a moment,
And then bring yourself into an even bigger smile,
A loving euphoric triumphant smile,
And hold it there.
Again,
Notice any changes in your body and mind,
And pay close attention to positive changes.
Bring this smile into your eyes and your heart,
Allowing all of those positive sensations to expand as this joy travels throughout your entire body.
Right into your belly,
Down your legs,
Into your toes.
Can you feel your heart pumping happiness into your cells?
Your whole being is in a state of joy,
Gratitude,
And peace.
Stay here for a moment,
And experience this feeling of bliss.
Now think of a person who could use some happiness,
And see them in your mind's eye.
Imagine a cord going from your heart to theirs.
As this cord connects to them,
It extends joy and love,
Love from you.
Notice their aura becoming brighter as they take in your gift of happiness and well-being.
Feel the happiness inside of you multiply as a result of your gesture.
Now think of our planet.
Her little Mother Earth,
Her turquoise seas,
Lush forests,
Majestic mountains,
And all of the beings that she houses.
And imagine another cord coming from you and connecting to our planet,
Nourishing it with kindness,
Healing,
And love.
Feel your own joy amplify as you send this vibration to Mother Earth.
Notice the magical healing taking place within you as you witness the Earth's energy expand as it receives your gift.
When your frequency is set to happy,
It creates a synergy of peace and love to all things.
Know that you can connect to this energy anytime with just a smile.
Take another deep breath in and breathe out.
Start to become aware of the sounds around you.
Wiggle your fingers and toes as you come back into your body.
And when you're ready,
Open your eyes.
Namaste.
