First Guided Smile Warmup
Everybody, please just fake a smile right now, put a big outer smile on your face. We are going to take the outer smile and focus it inside us. This morning we did belly laughing. The smile is a totally different energy than the laugh. Smiling doesn't activate your belly, the smile is more coming from your heart and face. Even if you fake an outer smile, turning the corners of your mouth up activates a whole complex of muscles and glands. If it's coming just from your face, there's a feeling of...
Step Smile swallow to bowels sexual organs
Allow your nervous system inner smile to continue glowing and radiating peace and calmness. Come back up to your eyes. This time let's gather some saliva in order to very consciously swallow it down the digestive tract. Saliva is a very precious fluid that can be supercharged with the Inner Smile. It is precious because it is a fluid imbued with the spiritual vibrations of the upper dantian, the doorway to the heavenly chi field. We need to gather a pool of saliva first. Move your tongue around...
Q Whats the difference between Inner Smile as a Water Fire dissolving technique
The water-only method can be summarized as ice dissolves to water, water dissolves to gas. This principle is applied to chi flow in the human body and psyche. It's a perfectly legitimate method of dissolving. It works on the principle of expansion and contraction, mostly on progressive letting go of body density and expanding to a vaporous chi state. But the water-only method does not specifically activate the inner Heart Spirit which has a fiery, or at least warm nature and does not directly...

St Francis of Assisi Punishing the Unholy Body
Perhaps the most famous example of this was the Italian monk, St. Francis of Assisi. He was a wonderful, humble soul that inspired many to accept and love others. He claimed to have a special love for the creatures of the natural world. Although he was incredibly kind to others, he was brutally cruel to his own body. He could accept other's bodily needs, but rejected his own. He often referred to his body as Brother jackass, and subjected it to extreme hardship. He subsequently died quite...
The Cells Connective Tissue Skin Bones
4. We smile to all the connective tissues fascia , the bones, blood, cell nuclei, skin, and everything else. After these five steps, we can either dissolve our sense of physical body and remain present in that space, or dissolve boundaries beyond the body, and begin working with collective subtle energy fields. This process expands the adept's energy body out beyond the physical body into our community, the planet, and into the cosmos. There is an infinite range of alchemical practice possible...
Chapter Five Guided Inner Smile Meditation
Whatsunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. Deep meditation allows the heart's inner soul to radiate an inner smile as an expression of self-realization. My kriya yoga teacher was allegedly in nirvakalpa samadhi for 45 years at time this photo was taken. Swami Hariharananda's powerful inner smile gave him the aura of a spiritual Santa Claus. He recently shifted dimensions at age 96.

The Five Vital Organ Spirits
We smile into the five vital organs, and their intelligences or spirits. Different sequences can work, but simplest to start with the creation cycle of the five phases elements used in the Five Animals and Six Healing Sounds. In this case, I begin with the heart to gather its yang chi, then the spleen, lungs, kidneys and liver. body's unified chi field and its meridians.

Receptive Yin Smile Projective Yang Smile
In the Inner Smile process, one first must accept the inner layers of oneself. This is the yin phase of practice, meaning you approach yourself softly, with an open, receptive and nurturing attitude. This phase requires accepting one's major biological structures, one's energy channels, and one's guiding intelligences or body spirits jing shen . Once these begin to integrate, one's inner heart opens, and the yang phase of practice may begin. One smiles out from the space of inner...
The Great Secret of Internal Alchemy
The Inner Smile is central to embracing the hidden third force in Nature, our Original Breath. Original Breath mediates between Original Spirit and Original Substance, which we experience as human spirit and human body. Original Breath also mediates between all our dualities, such as good and evil. It is able to mediate them as this subtle, self-arising neutral breath finds itself converted into all polarities by humans exercising their free will. Of course every culture has its esoteric...
Inner Smile Root of the Root
The Tao science of chi cultivation is so huge. It is easy to get lost in it. Taoists spent thousands of years developing so many different way to refine human chi using chi kung and meditation. They took the science of healing and medicine to new depth, had hundreds of martial arts systems, found the best way to build houses with good feng shui, and figured out how to bury the dead so the ancestral chi is most beneficial. They developed high systems of Tao philosophy, ethics, sexology,...
Does Lao Tzus Tao Te Ching mention the Inner Smile
As far as I know, the Inner Smile is not mentioned by name in Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching Daodejing . But if you have training in Daoist meditation, it is easy to understand the parables of Lao Tzu as practical teachings rather than as mystical poetry or intellectual philosophy. The scholar Harold Roth has shown conclusively in his book Original Tao that Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching was a meditation manual. It had probably been around for hundreds of years already, as the collected wisdom from that...
Smiling Chi Flow as the Silent Language of Nature
Daoism is radically different. With Tao you don't have a dogma or a deity to believe in, only a cosmology-as-collective-process to be experienced in each unique moment IN THE BODY. But they can talk about it with spoken language, as well as talk to it with non-verbal energetic language. There is a continuous line of Tao practitioners who have developed and refined silent alchemical practices. The energetic patterns in those practices constitute a deep language in itself. This is the hidden...
Chi Dissolving Process Purifies Mind Emotions
This process of accepting all the inner layers of oneself is sometimes referred to as dissolving. Dissolving is an alchemical term. The laboratory alchemist first dissolves the impurities in a substance in order to extract its original pure essence. The inner alchemist, here the adept practicing the Inner Smile, energetically dissolves the impurities and layers of resistance within their own body-mind so their true soul essence can emerge. This dissolving process is an energetic neigong...
Chapter Seven Conclusion Inner Smile as Path to Enlightenment
Tao inner alchemy energetically takes us on a reverse journey back to the Origin from mortal, ego-driven adult to innocent child to pre-natal purity in mother's womb to Original Spirit in the cosmic womb of the wuji, the Supreme Unknown. Spiritual rebirth then takes us back into Creation, but this time the ego is consciously fused with the will of Original Spirit and thus becomes Eternal.

Every Human has Three Brains
1. We align and open the three brains - upper brain, heart brain, and belly brain. We are going to smile down through each one of those. They are really all one, but they have different functions. These three brains - a low brain, a mid brain, and an upper brain - can be described as our sexual-survival brain, our limbic or feeling brain, and our cerebral thinking brain. These three brains are recapitulated in our head brain as the low brain stem, the mid brain complex of glands pituitary,...

Taoist Flower Essences for the Emotions
Before we go deeper into the smile, I am going to give you all a drop of an alchemical flower essence. It's actually 72 flower essences rolled into one elixir made by my wife, Joyce Gayheart. She calls it Divine Love Elixir. Flowers work on the subtle energy level, particularly in the emotional body, causing it to relax. One drop of this puts a vibration into your emotional nervous system. Take it under your tongue - it has some alcohol in it, it uses brandy as the preservative, but I don't...
Smile to a Friend
So let's expand the smiling pulsation beyond our aura, beyond the room. Smile to your entire house or home. If you are in your home, pick in a different room a favorite chair you like to sit in, or your bed, any object with a lot of your chi invested in it. Let your smile be a way of thanking the furniture for supporting you, and be open to feeling the chi in it smiling back to you. Silent practice, thirty seconds. Smile to a family member or good friend, no matter how far away they are at the...
