tuesday's healing word smile

The positive definition of a smile is an upward curving of the corners of the mouth that indicates pleasure, friendliness, or amusement.  The Vietnamese Buddhist Monk and poet, Thich Nhat Hanh, writes in Being Peace: “If we turn a smile on, we really are the smile…Even the tiniest bud of a smile on our lips has the healing power to relax all the muscles in our face, banish worries and fatigue, nourish awareness, calm us, and return us to the peace we thought we had lost.”

teddybeardoingtriplewarmerspleenhugIt is nice to get to know more about the Meridians.  In Donna Eden’s book, Energy Medicine for Women, she mentions that the Triple Warmer is one of the body’s most potent and least understood energy systems.  It governs: 1.The immune system 2. The emergency response to threat (fight, flee or freeze) and 3. The ability to form physiological and behavioral habits for managing stress or threat.  Donna has several Triple Warmer exercises which will be covered in my posts in the future.  Today, we will look at the Triple Warmer/Spleen Hug.  It is recommended to use this exercise anytime you are upset or need comfort. 

This position simultaneously calms Triple Warmer while energizing the Spleen Meridian:  Wrap your left hand around your right arm just above the elbow.  Wrap the right arm around the left side of your body, underneath your breast.  Hold this position for at least three deep breaths.  Reverse sides.

Grounding – Breathing Technique

womanholdingnoseHere is a quick breathing technique to help ground yourself, clear the mind and helps alliviate headaches.  You will use calming, grounding statements as you breathe, like:

Inhaling (through left nostril, closing right nostril with right thumb), “I am breathing in calm” or “I am breathing in good energy.”

(Close left nostril)  Exhaling (through right nostril), ”I am breathing out anxiety” or “I am breathing out bad energy ,” or “I am safe.”

 Repeat rounds 6-10 times, focus on keeping breath smooth, deep and rhythmic.  You will not want to practice this exercise if you have a cold.  If pregnant, please check with your healthcare provider.

Watch for future grounding posts using gemstones, essential oils and my favorite, hugging trees!
