By visualizing a smile in various body parts, such as the eyes, face, and shoulders, listeners are encouraged to infuse kindness and warmth into each area. The practice expands to filling the entire body with loving presence, grounding the awareness in the present moment and connecting to the nurturing energy of the earth.
