“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh
The wrinkles that we have etched in our faces either reflect smiles or frowns. Indeed it is challenging to smile at times and yet it is a gift that we give ourselves as well as others.
The Smile to your Heart meditation is one that can help you begin to find your smile, if you seem to have misplaced it. It is a great place to begin.
A smile is contagious. You offer it and it is returned to you. What grows from that exchange is a joy that grows from deep within. Joy is palpable. You see it and you begin to feel it.
Turn the corners of your mouth up! Offer the beauty of the love that is within you! Help turn up the volume of love and raise the healing vibration!
Just for today…smile.
Then tomorrow, smile again. Let this become a habit so that it becomes your practice.
Peace begins with a smile.
– Mother Theresa
