SMILING CHI
Smiling and humor are very powerful medicines. They affect the mind, body and emotions in positive ways. Energetically, frowning shuts down and stagnates Chi flow in the body whereas smiling frees up your Chi flow. Free flowing Chi in the body is one sign of health and well being. By combining smiling with Chi Kung, Tai Chi and Acutouch one creates powerful tools for health and happiness.
When practicing these arts, start out by thinking of something which makes you laugh or smile. Focus that thought or image between your eyes. Then, let that feeling fill your body. Make your smile more internal and less external. Have the corners of your lips upturned. A large gaping smile can also constrict Chi flow in the face. A small Mona Lisa smile is just right for your practice. It is more internal than external. This is an Inner Smile practice.
Go about the practices presented in this video with this Mona Lisa smile and you will have great results.
CHI
Chi (or Qi) is the bio-energy which is found in everything. It is most apparent in living things. When it is disrupted or stagnate it causes illness and pain. Its absence is a sign of death. Its flowing abundance and presence brings health and well being.
Chi is quite a lot like electricity. Most people know more about controlling the electricity in their homes, with switches and buttons, than they know about the the bio-energy in their bodies. I will show you gentle and effective ways to adjust your Chi through movement, mind, breath, and acupoints- the energetic buttons and switches of your body.
