Waking Energy 7 Timeless Practices Designed to Reboot Your Body and Unleash Your Potential

Love’s Smiles and Sounds
In the Waking Energy flow, we have now pulled back the curtain and revealed the shadow side of our
organ-held emotions. By shining the light of love and attention on them, we have set the stage for what
comes next. We have opened, harmonized, and energized the meridians that lead to our organs, and
now it’s time to get really intimate with them, to smile at them and sing them love songs.
The Inner Smile and Cosmic Healing Sounds exercises promote health, resilience, and vitality
regardless of what is happening around us. They help us cultivate a new way of interacting with
ourselves on a deep, internal level. They radically alter long-held, negative beliefs about ourselves
and others that leach vital energy from our body’s energy “bank account,” replacing them with voices
of compassion, empathy, patience, and understanding and leading to substantial energy cultivation and
restoration and optimal health from the inside out. Just as receiving a kind smile from someone else
activates our parasympathetic nervous system’s relaxation response, our body appreciates a smile
from the self no differently. It enhances every one of our body’s functions, from our endocrine system
to our circulation, respiration, and digestion; everything gets happy and, like someone whom
motivation encourages, instantaneously functions better.
As you will soon see, this practice uses your own hands as healing wands. Charged with your
own positive chi to bring new energy, light, and positive affirmation to your organs, your hands will
hover above each organ in turn as you move through the sequence. Using the power of your loving
smile, your “delete” key, and your gentle movements, you will change the emotional state and energy
quality of each organ for the better. Through specific breath work and sounds that are enunciated
subvocally (like a vibrational whisper), you will move in ways that immerse each organ in its
favorite healing sound, repeated several times, until the body feels more fluid and less restricted,
evidence that your own focused intention has worked in harmony with the tools you apply and that the
energy of the organ has shifted, restoring balance in your body overall.
Once I began to practice the Inner Smile and Cosmic Healing Sounds, my life was never the same.
I can’t tell you how special and virtually “undiscovered” these practices are, because they were
under lock and key for centuries, performed exclusively by Taoist adepts who earned the right to learn
them from their masters before them through supreme self-discipline and dedication. They arise out of
a beautiful simplicity, inspiring us with gratitude and awe at our body’s miraculous capabilities. My
wonder surrounding this practice and all the closely guarded secrets Master Chia and his teachers
made available to us has never waned since my first real-time experience with him. It still astounds
me how our own loving intentions can heal, balance, and strengthen our bodies, down to our vital
organs and our every cell.
Visiting the major organ systems of our bodies, from the heart to the reproductive organs, we will
use our minds to focus our attention, bringing new awareness and energy to each, acknowledging the
emotions that have been held there and infusing them with a message of compassion and empathy.
Moving this stagnation out makes space for more life energy, resulting in a deep, energized calm.
The Look of Love
The look of love is what starts it all. When we are on the receiving end of a smile, we feel safe, we
