Sit with your knees close together,
Both feet firmly on the ground.
Your hands are clasped in your lap,
Your left palm facing up,
Right palm down.
Closing your eyes now.
The breath is regular and natural.
Inhale,
Exhale,
Relax.
Put your point of concentration on the tip of your nose.
Be aware of any muscular pull to the left or the right.
Balance out the pull so that there is no pull to either side.
Directing your concentration to the tip of your nose.
After a few moments,
Raise your point of concentration to the mid eyebrow.
Imagine a smiling son or a friendly smiling face.
It could be a loved one or a fantasy lover.
Or it could be the smiling face of a baby.
Feel the smile go directly into your eyes.
Your left eye begins to smile and then your right.
Gently lifting up the corners of your mouth.
Feel your cheekbones raise and the corners of your eyes crinkle up into a smile.
The smile moves over your whole face and scalp.
It moves down through your face to the roof of your mouth,
Which relaxes as you smile.
You raise the tip of your tongue to the upper palate just behind the teeth.
The happy smiling energy goes down your tongue,
Through your throat and moves to the thymus gland in the center of your chest behind the sternum or breastbone.
Sit with your knees close together,
Both feet firmly on the ground.
Your hands are clasped in your lap,
Your left palm facing up,
Right palm down.
It is activated by smiling.
Smile into your heart.
Surround the heart with a bright red light and feel it smile and blossom like a flower.
Feel happiness is activated by smiling.
Smile into your lungs.
Surround your lungs with a metallic white color and feel your lungs smile.
Smile into your liver.
Surround the liver with an emerald green light and feel your liver smiling just under your right lung.
Smile now into your kidneys.
Surround your two kidneys with a sapphire blue or a gleaming black light and feel your kidneys smiling.
Smile into your spleen just a little above the kidneys.
Surround your spleen and pancreas and stomach area with a bright yellow light.
Feel your spleen and pancreas smiling.
Re-establish the smile in your eyes.
You will now learn to swallow saliva in the Taoist manner.
We want to increase the flow of saliva in the mouth.
Saliva can be energized by smiling into it.
Place the tip of the tongue between the front of your teeth and the back of your lips.
Circle the tongue between the teeth and lips nine times.
You can do it in either direction.
Circle all the way around.
Smile once you have done this.
Put the tip of the tongue behind the teeth and circle six times in the opposite direction than above.
Feel your mouth fill with saliva.
Now smile into the saliva.
It will act like a magnet to hold the smiling energy.
Imagine a smiling sun radiating happiness and absorb it into the saliva.
Place the tip of your tongue on the roof of your mouth just behind your upper teeth.
Pull your chin in and straighten the back of your neck and with a gulping sound swallow the saliva.
Feel the inner smile travel down your throat and esophagus and into the stomach.
Feel it continue to move through all the organs of digestion.
Smile into the small intestines.
Smile into the large intestines.
The ascending colon.
Starting on the right side,
Now smile.
Then across the transverse colon to the left side and down the descending colon.
Into the sigmoid colon which lies within the pelvis.
And finally into the rectum and anus.
Then across the transverse colon to the left side and down the descending colon.
Now re-establish the smile in your eyes and try to feel that smiling sensation throughout your entire digestive system.
Lift up the corners of your mouth and crinkle the outer corners of your eyes.
Smile into your eyes then direct the smiling energy once more.
This time into the left side of your brain.
Forget about everything else.
Feel the whole left side of your brain just light up.
Smile and relax.
Feel the smile move back and forth,
Up and down and all around the left side of the brain.
Now move the smile over to the right side of the brain and forget about everything else except that smiling right side of the brain.
Feel it light up.
Move the smile around upwards,
Backwards,
Down and around and feel the whole right side of the brain smiling.
Now put your awareness on the wall between the two hemispheres of the brain.
Feel that smiling energy go right down the center.
Feel as if there is no longer any wall there,
Just a beautiful bright light.
Go all the way down to the back of your head to the cerebrum and the medulla.
Direct the smiling energy down the back of your head until it finally enters the point where the back of the skull and the neck meet.
Now reestablish,
Feel the smiling energy enter the spinal column.
Now smile into each vertebra of the seven cervical vertebra of the neck,
One by one,
Moving slowly downward until it gets to the base of the neck and enters the spinal column itself.
Feel the smiling loving energy into the top of the 12 thoracic,
The chest vertebra and move slowly downward,
One by one.
Feel it descend down the back,
Down to the level of the heart,
Then down to the level behind the solar plexus,
Down to the point behind the navel where it enters the five lumbar,
The lower back vertebra.
Feel it continue all the way down until it reaches the triangular bone known as the sacrum.
This smiling loving energy continues to go right down through the fused vertebra of the sacrum all the way down to the coccyx,
The tailbone.
Now feel as if your whole brain and spine are filled with the smiling loving energy.
Just relax and allow yourself to feel it.
Move the smiling energy gently up and down the spine and it naturally spreads out into the entire nervous system.
Feel all the nerves in the body and in the arms and legs,
Hands and feet,
Fingers and toes full of this wonderful smiling energy.
Relax into your entire nervous system smiling now.
Now move the smile back into the two eyes and we'll do the last of the six healing sounds,
The triple warmer sound.
It will feel like a wave of energy is moving from the top of the head down through your neck,
Through the chest,
Arms,
Torso,
Abdomen and legs.
It moves all the way down to your feet.
Send any remaining negativity in your body right out through your fingertips and toes.
Ready?
Smile in your eyes.
The healing sound of the triple warmer is heee.
Feel it moving down through your body like a wave as you inhale and then exhaling slowly making the healing sound together.
Heee.
Establish the smile again.
Inhaling now exhale.
Heee.
Repeat one last time.
Heee.
Now just relaxing for a moment more,
Rubbing your hands together until they get warm then massage your face,
Your forehead,
Your nose and your ears and slowly opening your eyes.
May you take this smiling presence with you into this present moment and beyond.
