I can easily tell when people are stuck in their thoughts. Their lips are pressed together and they don’t smile very much or easily. When you’re happy you smile naturally, but if you’ve ever been depressed you know that it can feel impossible to smile. By consciously smiling you can make yourself happy, clear your mind and improve your health.
Tradition Chinese Medicine explains that there are points on your face that connect to your stomach meridians. Smiling impacts the points which then relaxes and soothes the stomach muscles. Experts shave shown that smiling also opens key energy points on the back the head. They’re very close to the major meridians that control digestion and body temperature, so we conclude that smiling has a bearing on the health of these vital functions.
This means that being sad and tense has several implications on your health. The cells close and a barrier forms that separates you from fresh energy and rejuvenation. Now you can see how smiling helps make your body a natural receiver for health and happiness.
I find that most people overlook how thinking makes us tense and “closed” to energy. I’ve learned firsthand from my experience with qigong that thinking blocks the flow of energy, and many yoga and alternative medicine practitioners will agree. Thinking connects us to the world of form, in turn leading us to become attached to our emotions.
What do I mean, stop thinking?!! Most of us are led to believe that if we do not use our minds in a memory-enhancing way, such as what is taught in all left-brained education facilities around the world, we will lose our ability to think. However, the opposite is closer to the truth. Since I began learning how to relax deeply, clear my thoughts, and receive energy from the universe, I found that I get the best of both worlds and I achieve the results I desire more naturally.
A big open smile that is used for the purpose of cultivating happiness sends a message to your soul that it’s okay to be happy! So practicing it is very very good. It’s like flipping a switch and choosing to be happy. When you practice smiling inwardly as opposed to smiling for the sake of impressing others, it’ll blossom into true happiness. You can change your mood as simply as that.
This means that the future will be full of smiles! Everyone will master this and put an end to the cycle of thoughts and worries that actually destroy health and happiness.
Becoming happy and expressing it through our smile now is what will open the door for people to step into the future. By stepping towards the future now, you begin living it now! New education systems with new values and higher life standards will play a major role in teaching people of all ages how to achieve natural health, happiness and peace.
