In a country obsessed with violence, where can we find peace? This time my never-ending quest seeks survival secrets from a tiny Nordic country.
I use the fun game of Smiling Meditation:
1. Smile (just a gentle smile)
2. Relax (body and mind)
3. Generate and radiate goodwill for myself and others (metta, gratitude, forgiveness)
4. Be mindful (remember to observe how the mind's attention goes from one thing to another)
5. 6R whenever the mind wanders
a. Recognize that the mind has got distracted;
b. Release the distraction;
c. Relax any tension or tightness at the top of the head or in the mind
d. Re-smile
e. Return to the feeling of goodwill
f. Repeat whenever the mind wanders again
6. Don't take anything personally (external events or internal thoughts)
Many smiles and much metta.
Thank you for sharing, let me try this. God knows we all need to smile more :))
All the best, Priya!

Thank you :)
