PIG DREAMS by Gigi Thibodeau
wherever you are right now ...
however you are feeling right now ...
whatever is your current situation ...
whenever is always a good time ...
to try this
: : using your facial muscles, pull the right corner of your mouth upwards
: : now pull, the left side of your mouth upwards
: : hold that for a minute, stretching as far as you please
: : deep breaths
: : repeat wherever . however . whatever . whenever ... : )
tell me true ~ how are you feeling?
you have just practiced a very simple form of a smile meditation that can be performed anywhere and anytime ... it is especially effective on days when you really don't feel like smiling ~ it can help lift you up and give relief where you couldn't find any ... and when you do this with 'whomever', like in a crowd, you will find it contagious ~ spreading positive energy in a powerful way ...
thanks to dear gigi of the magpie's fancy

You made me smile! Thanks!
Those pigs can make anyone smile! They are too cute. This post is great. It reminds me of Eat Pray Love when the guy tells her to just "sit and smile." That's all.
I just love this..and the Charlie Chaplin clip is absolutely priceless!
Oh, pg, I'm so touched that you used my little piggies for your smile meditation! And Modern Times is one of my all-time favorites. Chaplin really did understand the power of a smile. Hugs to you! xo Gigi
PG - love this! I need to practice more often.
I lived in Delhi for a while, and in the park in front of my flat, every morning at 7, a group of old men met for laughter yoga. The stood in a circle and forced themselves to laugh. At first we laughed at them, then I realized they were getting the last laugh. Not only is smiling and laughing great exercise it is hard to be grumping when you are doing either one.
What an inspiring post - just what I needed today! The photo of the pigs is hilarious - I love it!!!
Thanks so much for the uplifting and cheery post...couldn't help smiling myself! :)
