With all that’s going on in the world I wanted to share with you a popular Taoist practice, that I really enjoy, called the inner smile meditation. It’s supposed to be very powerful for your health and immune system.
Taoist Master Montak Chia says “Sickness starts from negative emotions settling in the organs. The inner smile breaks this cycle. It removes the cause and symptoms of disharmony by transforming destructive emotions into positive energy.“
This meditation is simple to replicate on your own and I once you get the hang of it and you can make it as long or as short as you want
Why is doing mental practices at a time like this so valuable for your health and well being?
In a moment of time where a lot feels out of our control this is something you CAN do to help yourself.
Your body possesses the innate capacity to heal itself. And science has proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the contents of our thoughts and emotions directly and immediately influence our biochemistry. And we can consciously influence and direct the body’s output of healthy chemical information through meditation and other mental techniques.
So, at the very least we are giving our mind, body and spirit a moment of rest and rejuvenation to counteract the added stress so we can really meet this moment with presence, calm and strength.
