The Inner Smile

Before you love others, you have to love yourself first. You have to know how to generate it within yourself so you can radiate it outward.

You can transform hate, which is stored in your heart, into love. You can transform anger, which is stored in the liver, into kindness. You can transform sadness, which is stored in your lungs, into courage. You can transform worry, which is stored in your stomach, into openness. You can transform fear, which is stored in your kidneys, into gentleness. Compassion is the combined energy from these virtues.

Your emotions affect your health and your health affects your emotions. Spend time each morning to meditate. Consult basic anatomy to learn where these organs are located. These meditations help heal your body, strengthen your compassion energy, and move you into your High Self quicker.

Close your eyes. Smile into your thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, and heart, and feel love and happiness arise. Smile into your lungs and feel courage arise. Smile into your stomach, spleen and pancreas, and feel openness and fairness arise. Smile into your liver and gallbladder and feel kindness arise. Smile into your kidneys and bladder and feel gentleness arise. Detoxify your body each morning with this exercise, and bring the spirit of compassion into the workplace.
