In today's Monday Morning Meditation (Mmm!), we smile through our time together! Using the social connection part of the vagus nerve system, smiling communicates to the whole mind/body system that we are safe, relaxed, and content. We can pull on that regulatory support simply by smiling! Remember that book and movie, "Eat, Pray, Love"? When Elizabeth Gilbert was in Bali, her meditation teacher told her to "Smile from your liver" while she practiced meditation. Why the liver? I can only guess that it 1) gets the attention away from the busy head/mind, 2) activates positive energy around the many functions of the liver. Try it out with us and see what happens! Enjoy, practice, and I'll see you next week!
