Smile Meditation

[Guest guest]

Namaste @ all!

 

Last weekened I attended a seminar about Onnuri medicine, Smile

Meditation and Twist therapy which was very interesting and I thought

to give here a very brief, almost symbolic:D summary of it.

 

In all, the theory behind it was very similar to the classical

metaphysical theory of the soul being a part of the universal soul

and its existence fulfills itself when it perfects itself. The only

difference was the different terms where used to describe the same

old things. The meditation that we performed consisted of mantras,

mudras and sort of tai chi movements. The difference though, in this

seminar was the emphasis that was laid on the importance and the

origin of the smile as an expression of the perfect balance of the

soul. The whole theory is much more complex for me to analyse here,

what we practically tried, was to induce an inner Mind Smile in our

whole mental body (One mind smile). Also we meditated on the smile of

the mind(!) of separate parts and organs of the body. And then on the

actuall (physical) organs and parts themselves. Slow movements as the

ones in tai chi have a special ability to attract a positive power to

the practicioner or better said, to attract pure energy, prana. Its

because movement is a sum of fundamental universal forces and dance

itself has even healing qualities. In the seminar , the education on

dance and music was stressed extensively.

 

I am afraid I might have confused you since I was not able to

reproduce here the whole theory supporting these views. The whole

seminar lasted many hours (4 days) and its impossible to post here

everything. For people who are interested to know more about Onnuri

therapy you can do a google search on Professor Park Jae Woo (the

founder), on Su Jok Acupunture and Onnuri medicine.
