FULL INNER SMILE ORGAN MEDITATION Spend a couple minutes with each organ. As you begin to deepen the inner smile practice, take it a step further and begin opening up communication with each organ. This is done from a space of intuitive reception and deep listening. The thinking mind can be set aside.
Ask each organ if there is anything it needs, remain open to non-logical input (images, sensations, visions, etc). Ask how you can better support it and if there is anything it wants to communicate with you. Be patient, it may take time to cultivate communication and this depth of relationship with your body.
