This is a wonderful little jewel called ’The Inner Smile’ Exercise found in Dr. Alla Svirinskaya’s book Energy Secrets. The Ultimate Well-Being Plan.  Perform the following exercise first thing in the morning, which helps lighten up your astral body, the body of your emotions:

1.   As you awake, turn over on back, with arms and legs relaxed and long.  Take a deep breath and slowly exhale the stale night air.  Repeat 3 times.

2.  Now move the toes on the right foot a few times—lift the big toe up slightly while the other toes dip slightly. Repeat with left foot.

3.  Move to your fingers and hands. Take the tip of the left thumb and lightly shake it.  Repeat with right thumb.

4.  Smile to yourself—it turns your whole morning and day into a celebration, while still in bed!

5.  Take a deep breath, first fill the lungs and then the stomach.  Hold your breath, then exhale from the stomach then the lungs. Continue the deep breathing but, in place of holding your breath, smile. So inhale, pause and smile, then exhale. Make your smile wide and sincere.  Eyes relaxed (imagine looking at a sky full of stars).

6.  Continue smiling and visualize the color pink.  Breathe in very deeply so the color fills your whole body.  Pink is the energy of love, which takes over all your body.  Every cell is radiating the color pink.

7.  It is helpful to include the following affirmation while keeping the smile: “What I have lost I do not regret. The way into the future is free.  I am a new liberated person.”  The author recommends repeating the affirmation convincingly and energetically five to ten times.
