Food Energetics and the Inner Smile Meditation

Inner Smile Meditation.
“An inner smile radiates powerful healing energy. Start with the eyes. Practice the inner smile by closing your eyes and smiling sincerely into them. Relax and let a deep, loving smile shine through your eyes. By relaxing your eyes you can calm your entire nervous system. Continue by smiling down the front line (from the eyes down through your vital organs towards the genitals effortlessly like a waterfall): into the face (especially the jaws), neck, heart and blood circulatory system, the lungs, liver, kidneys, adrenals, pancreas, spleen, bladder and genitals. Continue by smiling down the Middle Line: Smile down from the mouth to the stomach, small intestine, large intestine and rectum, simultaneously swallowing saliva. The Back Line: smile down the inside of the vertebrae of your spine, one by one.” (Chi Fit for Life, Michael Leone)

We also talked about the energetics of foods and the concept of Primary Food. Food can be measured in many ways–not only for its nutrition, but for the experience it gives to you and the energy it creates in your body. You’ve heard it said “you are what you eat.” It is true that food makes up the cells in your body, but have you ever thought it may also impact your relationship to life?
Primary food is everything that feeds our soul and who we are. Primary foods feed us, but they don’t come on a plate.

We had a great start last Saturday embarking on our 12 week journey towards vibrant health and wellness. We started by creating an awareness of where we are now and where we want to be heading towards. Only by being aware of what isn’t working in our life but accepting ourselves for where we are at can we begin to create a map of small achievable goals that will help us get to where we ultimately want to be.

By understanding that our internal beliefs manifest themselves to the outside we can start to change the dialog we have with ourselves. And that’s where we begin.
