Self Healing Method 自 愈 法<br />
Relaxation Through Smiling<br />
Exercise<br />
道 家 微 笑 放 松 大 法<br />
Translation and adaption by Kevin W Chen<br />
This exercise is designed to help you quickly recover from fatigue, reduce<br />
stress, increase your energy and efficiency.<br />
You can do this at anytime and anywhere. You can do this exercise by standing, sitting or lying down. Whichever<br />
position you select, make sure you are comfortable and relaxed. Clear your mind of all thoughts.<br />
Lightly close your eyes. Breathe naturally, paying special attention to the area around your abdomen. Let your<br />
breathing be soft, even, deep and slow.<br />
Now you are relaxed. As you breathe naturally and relaxed, focus your attention on the area between your two<br />
eyebrows, visualize a small smiling face in between your two eyebrows, smiling, and smiling happily at you. The<br />
smiling face begins to grow bigger and bigger until it covers your entire head.<br />
The smiling face continues to expand; and it covers your entire chest. Your entire chest becomes a smiling face.<br />
It continues to expand…. Your entire body becomes a smiling face. Your organs, your nervous system, all your<br />
cells and pores are smiling ….. smiling…….and smiling.<br />
The smiling face continues to expand from your body outward to become a very large smiling face covering the<br />
entire room, and then, to the surrounding environment. It continues to expand, smiling and expanding, smiling<br />
and expanding until it covers the earth. The entire earth and everything in it turns into a huge smiling face, smiling,<br />
smiling, and smiling! The huge smiling face continues to expand, reaching the entire universe and the entire universe<br />
becomes an endless smiling face.<br />
Everything is smiling,<br />
Everything becomes the smiling face,<br />
There is no one, not you, or anyone else --- just smiles ..<br />
There is no desires, no wants; no demands, -- just smiles…<br />
There is no disease, no illness, no disasters; -- just smiles…<br />
There is no heaven, no earth, just smiles, smiles, and smiles….<br />
Continue to visualize and feel the smiling face for a few minutes, or as long as you want.<br />
Now, you can finish the exercise by letting the smiling face gradually become smaller and smaller and coming<br />
back into your body, then reduce it to the size of an egg and send it to your lower Dantian. Visualize the small smiling<br />
face in your lower Dantian for a minute as you continue to breathe naturally. You feel completely relaxed, content<br />
and worry-free.<br />
Briskly rub your palms together until they feel warm, and then use your palms to stroke your face downward a<br />
few times. Your smiling exercise is now completed.<br />
Now you are fully relaxed and energized!<br />
