Smiling energy is healing energy.

 

This according to energy healer Donna Eden in her book Energy Medicine.

 

“Smiles and laughter are your birthright.

 

If you can expand their energy within yourself, you will expand your joy.

 

And you will bolster your health…

 

the joyous energy that wells into a deep smile is not insignificant.

 

It is a natural and powerful healing force, and by clearing a balancing the various other energy systems in your body, you open a channel for it to shine through.”

 

Laughter Yoga is a system of laughing on purpose rather than waiting on an outside stimulus to create laughter.

 

Laughing for a minimum of 10-15 minutes generates the “feel good” hormones.

 

Laughing just feels good.

 

The challenge is that good feeling can dissipate after a period of time.

 

The question then is how to sustain that feeling.

 

And the answer is…

 

The Inner Smile.

 

My Tai Chi Master taught us about this.

 

I go for daily walks on one of the country roads where we live.

 

When a car, truck or bus comes my way, I smile and wave.

 

Many times, the driver waves back.

 

But that is neither here nor there.

 

I have trained my nervous system now to smile whenever a vehicle is headed my way.

 

This is a step in the direction of accessing the Inner Smile more and more.

 

The goal is sustainability.

 

To sustain that inner smile all throughout the day.

 

I am finding that when I do so, I am more calm, centred and joyous.

 

Am I on the way to healing what ails me?

 

If Donna Eden is right, then the answer is a resounding YES!

 

Regardless, I am having more fun every day by smiling more and more.

 

Thoughts?

 

In Joy and Love
