Inner smile – practical for a long and happy life

Inner smile – practice for a long and happy life

“The inner smile technique is very simple, accessible to anyone and has an efficiency that we can quickly recognize.
Anyone can enjoy the results of this practice, as it is deeply connected to our deep nature.
The inner smile is emphasized in the Taoist teaching, but it is precisely explained and practiced in Abheda Yoga as well.
It is an element through which ananda – supreme bliss can penetrate any apparent external or internal aspect.
We publish here the Taoist perspective on this fascinating method.

Through something so simple our physical body, our organs, or any subtle sheaths can know ANANDA.
Moreover, even external aspects or beings can be boosted or enriched in ANANDA – the ultimate bliss through our inner smile. Only a minimum of training is needed.
It doesn’t cost anything, we don’t lose anything – we just win.

If this technique is practiced with Adi Mudra as a background, its efficiency increases greatly by accessing its unlimited possibilities.

Wholeheartedly practice the technique of the inner smile and live life as a spiritual path.”

Inner smile – practice for a long and happy life

A benevolent attitude, a heart at peace with all aspects of life most often translate into a smile.
We notice that people smile when they are surrounded by:

• low-intensity, positive emotional states, accompanied by physical and mental relaxation
• an obvious lack of any stress.
  We usually smile at a being, or maybe we smile at a memory – in any case, our smile is an external signal of our well-being – a calm, reconciled and serene “good”.

Most people don’t know that…
we can also manifest a sui-generis “inner smile”; It essentially represents the attitude and affective state that accompanies a common smile.

The Taoist masters recognized the exceptional importance of the affective foundation of the smile.
They synthesized all the above information into a spiritual technique, with extraordinary healing and preventive value – the “inner smile“.

The “Inner Smile” is a very effective meditation for global healing and relaxation.
For a more beneficial state, for relaxation and meditation we will create a serene atmosphere and a state of inner calm.
A relaxed mental attitude, the abdominal breathing that we will practice, will calm our mind and begin to relax our body.
Deep relaxation dissolves physical and mental tensions, which can cause energy blockages.
The inner smile amplifies the energy of the organs and glands, the life force in general;
It calms the heart and mind and allows for better focus of attention.

The inner smile makes us become more aware of our body and our inner being, as we learn to communicate with the organs, glands, spine and other specific areas of the body, as well as with the soul.
The daily practice of the Inner Smile ensures the gradual installation of an “inner vision“.
It allows us to be aware of the state of our internal organs, our energy, breathing, and emotions.

By practicing “Inner Smile” we can begin to develop a healthy, loving relationship with ourselves and others.

We thus begin to know our qualities.

The “inner smile” cultivates the ability to love and relax one’s own body and psyche. If we learn to love and accept ourselves as we are, it becomes easier and more natural to extend this love outwards, and also to love and accept all people, just like ourselves. The one who smiles develops the ability to give and receive love.

The technique itself:

We relax the forehead and become aware of the energy of the smile gathering in front of the eyes like a golden light. We relive the feelings we had in a happy moment in our lives. While maintaining this feeling, we project in front of us, as in a mirror, an image of our own smiling face. We smile sincerely, inside ourselves, relaxing and feeling our eyes full of smiles. We feel that energy of the smile shining like the sun.

We absorb the energy of the smile through a point located between the eyebrows. We feel the third eye developing. The energy pours into the nose and cheeks, relaxes the skin of the muscles and cheeks, warms the entire face. We let the smile pour into the mouth, to penetrate the jaws, which it relaxes; We feel the energy of the smile penetrating the tongue, activating salivation. We touch the roof of the mouth with our tongue and keep it there throughout the practice (this connects the Vessel Conception and Vessel Governor meridians, which are the two main energy channels of the body).

We swallow the saliva and let the energy of the smile penetrate the neck, feeling the throat open like a blooming flower, while the energy removes any tension. We smile at the thyroid and parathyroid, located in the front of the neck, we let the energy of the smile pour into the thymus, gland located between the neck and the sternum, feeling it dilate while radiating the warm, fragrant energy of the smile downwards, into the heart.

We smile at the heart and thank it for making blood circulate throughout the body. The energy of smiling transforms us into beings full of joy, light, love, compassion, feeling how these virtues radiate to the organs, glands and throughout the body.

The energy of the smile passes into the lungs, puts them in a good mood, cheers them up, transforming any sadness and depression into justice and courage. We smile at every cell of the lungs, thanking them for providing oxygen to the body and removing carbon dioxide.

The energy of the smile passes into the liver, located in the right side, inferior to the chest box, taming it, turning its anger into generosity. We smile at the liver and thank it for its role in the digestion, processing, storage and elimination of nutrients and in neutralizing any toxic substance.

We smile at the pancreas, located in the lower left part of the rib cage, above the waist, thanking it for producing insulin, which regulates blood sugar levels and the enzymes necessary for digestion.

We smile at the spleen, located behind the pancreas, on the left side, thanking it for the production of antibodies that fight diseases. As we smile at the spleen and pancreas, we feel any feeling of worry turn into honor.

We bring the energy of the smile to the kidneys, located in the lumbar region of the back, on both sides of the spine, thanking them for filtering the blood and maintaining the balance of water in the body. We feel how the kidneys cool, refresh and cleanse.

We smile at the adrenal glands, feeling how any feeling of fear turns into joy and gentleness, courage and tenderness.

We lower the energy of the smile in the area of the genitals, thanking them for the fact that they produce hormones and provide us with sexual energy. We bring the energy charged with all these qualities into the navel and store it there. Then, again, this time in the opposite direction, the energy travels the previous path, checking the organs, one by one, if it still holds any voltage, and we smile at any voltage until it is eliminated.

When the energy of the smile has reached the third eye again, we allow it to pour into the mouth, we swallow the saliva, allowing the smile to descend through the esophagus to the stomach, located below the left side of the rib cage; This energy relaxes him, filling him with joy, as the energy penetrates him. We thank the stomach for digesting the food.
We smile at the small intestine, located in the abdomen, thanking it for the fact that it absorbs nutrients.

We thank the large intestine for eliminating waste. We go the opposite way again to remove any voltages, and check if they still exist. We smile at that voltage until it melts and disappears.

We turn our attention back to the middle of the forehead, and absorb as much energy as possible at the point between the eyebrows. We smile at the pituitary gland, located 7-10 cm behind the point between the eyebrows, feeling it bloom, we smile at the pineal gland, at the top of the head, feeling it dilate and grow, then at the thalamus, located just above the spine.

Then the smile bathes the cerebral hemispheres, to balance and nourish them, it descends through the spine, vertebra by vertebra (7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar), to the sacrum and coccyx. We feel a state of great relief, warmth and comfort at the level of each vertebra. The intervertebral discs soften as the spine dilates and lengthens. We feel our back relaxed comfortably.

Again we go the opposite way, smiling on the entire route traveled, with a maximum relaxation, which greatly amplifies the flow of spinal fluid and calms the nervous system. When there are no more tensions, the energy is free and circulates upwards through the column, like an artesian fountain.

We feel our whole body relaxed. We feel the energy descending throughout the body, like a cascade of love and peace, penetrating all vital organs. The muscles, skin and joints relax, while the whole body relaxes.

Finally, we store energy in the navel by accumulating it in the form of a mentally created spiral, covering the navel with both palms (left over right in men, with energy spiraling clockwise, and right over left in women, spiraling counterclockwise 36 times). Then the direction is reversed in both men and women, spiraling only 24 times. We then return at our own pace to the usual state of consciousness.

It is very good if we keep the state of tranquility, calm and peace specific to the inner smile throughout the day.

In fact, the technique can be evoked at a faster pace, bringing back to memory the benevolent, “smiling” attitude that accompanied us on our journey related to each organ or body area. It is enough to direct our attention to all the vital organs, then to the body areas as a whole, impregnating this attention with the profoundly beneficial emotion of smiling. Thus, the wonderful, vigorous, healthy and relaxing effects of the practice of the “Inner Smile” will be maintained almost continuously, connecting us to our inner resources and gradually unifying our entire being.
