“Put a smile on your face. A smile sends healing energy throughout your body.” And so the meditation tape from Spring Forest Qigong begins. The first few times it felt out of place for me. Smile on demand? It felt forced and fake. I always get annoyed when teachers tell me to smile. Don’t tell me how to feel! I’ll smile if I want to!!!
Then I began to do it willingly and then even enthusiastically. It started to make a difference. I became a partner in creating a peaceful and healing environment and I felt my body appreciate my intention. With thousands of years of perfecting this practice I think that they are onto something powerful. We are always communicating with our bodies. Why not consciously send it a message of love and support?
Have you tried it?
