The secret smile is one of Dr. Glenn Morris’s exercises and he wrote about it in his book Route Notes from an American Ninja Master. Those of us who teach his martial art form, Hoshinjutsu, also teach this regularly in our classes. This is actually a pretty easy exercise and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Energy flows best through a relaxed and happy body and you should get in the habit of making this a regular part of your practice.
Strike the meditation position of your choice. Take your time doing the grounding exercise and relax your breathing. Put a smile on your face and keep it there.
To initiate the Secret Smile, first squeeze your toes together as hard as possible, until it starts to hurt. Relax them and feel the feeling that follows a kind of relaxed, happy, glad feeling that is not strongly triggered. Pull that feeling up through your feet, then up through your ankles and up through your calves. Feel it move up your knees, then up your thighs and up your hips. Feel your muscles relax as you do this. Draw the sensation up your spine and up over your head and down to the point where your tongue touches the roof of your mouth just behind your front teeth. Mix the relaxing sensation with the saliva in your mouth and then swallow it and feel it fall through your body relaxing you as you go.
Think about a time when you did something right. It can be any event you want, but think about a time when you did something really well and everyone knew about it. Delete the event and just keep the feeling. Take that feeling down to your toes and then carry it up through your feet, then up through your ankles and up through your calves. Feel it move up your knees, then up your thighs and up your hips. Draw the sensation up your spine and up over your head and down to the point where your tongue touches the roof of your mouth just behind your front teeth. Mix the competent good feeling with saliva in your mouth and then swallow it and feel it fall through your body charging you with the good feeling as you go. Let it mix with the first.
Think of a time when you laughed, a good deep laugh that you couldn’t control or stop. Now remove the reason for the laugh, but keep the feeling. Take that laughing feeling down to your toes and then pull that laugh up through your feet, then up through your ankles and up through your calves. Feel it move up your knees, then up your thighs and up your hips. Draw the sensation up your spine and up over your head and down to the point where your tongue touches the roof of your mouth just behind your front teeth. Mix the feeling of happiness and laughter with the saliva in your mouth and then swallow it and feel it fall down your body feeling your body laugh as it goes. Let it mingle with the others.
Think about a time when you were really, completely, 100%, madly in love. Remove the person or persons. Take that feeling down to your toes, and then pull it up through your feet, then down toward your ankles, and up through your calves. Feel it move up your knees, then up your thighs and up your hips. Draw the sensation up your spine and up over your head and down to the point where your tongue touches the roof of your mouth just behind your front teeth. Mix the loving feeling with saliva in your mouth and then swallow it and feel it fall through your body charging you with complete and unconditional love. Let it mingle with the others.
Think of the best orgasm you’ve ever had. Take the person or people out and just hold the feeling of orgasm. Take that feeling down to your toes and then carry it up through your feet, then up through your ankles and up through your calves. Feel it move up your knees, then up your thighs and up your hips. Draw the sensation up your spine and up over your head and down to the point where your tongue touches the roof of your mouth just behind your front teeth. Mix the sensation with the saliva in your mouth and then swallow it and feel it fall through your body charging you with the good feeling as you go. Let it mingle with the others.
Feel the combination of the energies now and feel the combined energies swirling at your feet. Take the sensations down to your toes, and then pull that sensation up through your feet, then toward your ankles, and up through your calves. Feel it move up your knees, then up your thighs and up your hips. Feel the happy, relaxed, loving and competent sexual energy as it flows up your spine and over your head and down to the point where your tongue touches the roof of your mouth just behind your front teeth. Mix the combined feelings with the saliva in your mouth and then swallow it and feel it fall through your body and then let it flow back to the top of your head and then down to your feet.
Play around with this for a bit, run it as often as you can. This is how you must feel all the time; relaxed, happy, loved and sexy. As you get better at this, you will be able to run it continuously.
