In this stillness, taking some moments to scan through your body and see if there's any

part of your body that wants to let go a little right now.

Just naturally release, soften, be it ease.

Be awakened, attention through the body with a simple scanning.

You might just start with the top of the head and feel the skull and the scalp.

Just feel whatever tingling or vibrating you feel there.

Breathing the brow be smooth and soften the eyes.

Let the eyes be receptive like balls or orbs floating in a pool of water.

It can help to sense a smile spreading through the eyes, lifting the corners, the outer corners.

Sense if there's light or energy or aliveness in the area of the brow as you soften.

Letting the jaw be unhinged, the tongue filling the lower jaw, the root of the tongue relaxed.

You might sense a slight smile at the mouth.

Just feel the sensations and aliveness to fill the area of the mouth.

You can visualize and feel a smile as a throat.

Feel the breath gently at the throat.

Let there be a loosening and a softening there.

Smiling into the heart, sensing a smile spread through the heart area.

It's not to cover over anything but rather to create a space that you can actually feel

what's there.

You visualize and the felt sense of a smile.
