Inner Smile Meditation
FRIDAY 12.15PM - 12.45PM
Most lunchtimes we don’t really switch off, we eat in a rush, keep our minds busy, or scroll our phones, and by the end of the day we wonder why we feel so drained. This class offers something different. In just 30 minutes, the Inner Smile Meditation gives you a true pause: a chance to soften tension, restore balance, and bring calm energy into the rest of your day. Perfect for a midday reset.
Through the Inner Smile Meditation, an ancient Taoist practice, we gently nourish the body and calm the mind. As we soften tension and invite a smile inside, feelings of peace, radiance, and vitality begin to arise. Practising together makes this even more powerful, creating a shared space of balance, connection, and quiet joy to carry with you into the rest of your day.
"A true smile flows inward like a river, nourishing the heart, calming the mind, and revealing the hidden vitality of life itself."

The Inner Smile Meditation class is structured to guide you through a series of steps to harness the benefits of this powerful practice:
Initiation and Relaxation: Each session begins with relaxation techniques to help you ease into a meditative state, preparing your body and mind for the Inner Smile practice.
Energising Through Smiling: You will learn how to direct a smile internally, starting from your eyes and face and gradually spreading to each organ. This technique helps activate positive energy flow and healing.
Connecting with Organs: We focus on major organs like the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, teaching you to recognise and transform emotions associated with each organ into vitality and tranquility.
Integration and Closure: Each class concludes with a period of reflection and integration, allowing you to anchor the peaceful and joyful sensations experienced during the meditation.
