Simple Inner Smile for Melanesians

We Melanesians, it is time now for all of us to learn from each other. Particularly in New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Fiji, we need to learn a lot from Melanesians in Vanuatu, that what men named, "ni-Vanuatu". We need to come there, or invite them to come to us, and learn what is the meaning of being Melanesians.

One thing that I learned is that Melanesians in Vanuatu a very familiar with what we mean by "calm". Yes, "calm" as the calmness of our ocean called, "pacific". It is called pacific because it is calm, it has its own rhythm and pace.

Inner Smile is a very simple method for all of us Melanesians to practice wherever we are and whenever we want to do it. Just now, let me do it myself before I continue typing this.

1. Sit down comfortably
2. Smile, smile and smile, smile
3. Smile to your kidneys, both on the left and right side
4. Smile to your liver, on the right side of your chest, root of the "breast"
5. Smile to your lungs, on the chest, left and right side
6. Smile to your heart, the centre of the chest, in the middle of right and left lungs
7. Smile to your stomach, on the left side of your stomach
8. Smile to your sexual organs
9. Smile, smile and smile.

Do not do anything else yet. Do not think of anything else yet. Think of the form, colour and you can also think of taste of those organs. Think of them fully, and smile at them.

Just do it repeatedly.

This will help us to calm down!

In Vanuatu in particular, there is a custom of "drinking kava", that still being practiced across the archipelago, that other Melanesians should learn. If not, let us also learn to practice this "Inner Smile" of the Universal Healing Tao System by Grandmaster Mantak Chia.
