This idea originally comes from Lilias Folan when I studied with her 22 years ago! (In fact, she was the first "famous" yoga teacher I studied with.) Anyway, I was reminded of this lovely meditation last week in class. I have been working hard getting grounded and strong in my standing poses and now it is time to soften that "work" to bring in the heart.
You can do this meditation anytime anywhere. It makes a lovely Savasana (Corpse Pose), as well.
To do it, simply bring in the feeling you have in your body just before you smile. Feel your energy brighten! Your vibration literally goes up! I liken it to adding fresh lemon juice to a dish just before you serve it. It lightens and brightens the food.
So, next time you build a strong Tadasana (Mountain Pose), or are standing in line at the grocery store, or settling in for a Savasana (Corpose Pose), feel your smile!
