Be Happy

This was one of those principles that for whatever reason, I never realised how important it was in the beginning. I guess because I was so serious with my training, I forgot to just be happy.

But this principle is a really great way to get the endocrine system working and release natural hormones within your body. This in turn stimulates your natural life force energy (Qi), and makes it more effective when practicing Qi Gong.

Think of it like an electric system - the relaxed body is like a highly conductible cable, whilst being happy is the juice you can send down the wire!

So What Do I Need to Do?

Very simply, think of something that makes you happy. Something that really gives you the giggles and also appeals to your personality. So people with a wicked sense of humour can think of a dark joke, whilst people with a lighter sense of humour can think of something that makes them laugh.

This alone should produce a light smile on your face that is "authentic". By authentic, I mean your eyes are smiling too or like a Buddha with that cheeky smile on his face.

That's it! Simple.

Improving

For people of other schools, like Manktak Chia's Healing Tao, you would have heard of the "Secret Smile" or "Inner Smile". These methods are very similar and if you have already practiced these then you know what I am referring to here.

Practice

So add this onto your daily practice!

Best of luck.
