A Smiling Practice

imageJoin me now, if you wish. Smile generously and breathe through your smile into and out of your heart. As you inhale, sense loving patience expanding in your heart. As you exhale, offer this loving patience for the benefit of all beings. When your exhalation is complete, come to rest for a moment in stillness and silence before the next inhalation arises spontaneously on its own. Allow this process to repeat itself for as long as you like. Notice how this practice transforms the sensation and feeling of yourself.
