The Miracle of Smile

In some parts of the world, where people have not been touched by economic development and excessive consumerism too much, their smile appears to be very different. The aura is different, the light is different, the charisma is different too. It is like sharing a beautiful spiritual message, there is a soul secret which is hidden behind the smile.

In the past times, stories about a smile that heals the soul, or a smile which allows soul wings to appear only in the spiritual world. But in line with the advancement of science and technology, this region of smile has also entered the world of research. One of the prominent figures in this case is Professor Kazuo Murakami of Japan. The last Professor of biotechnology who spent decades researching genes in the laboratory, in his book "Switch" explicitly concluded: "Among the switches inside, smile is the strongest switches that can change one's genes and life."

Paula M. Reeves, Ph.D. in her beautiful work entitled "Heart Sense: Unlocking your highest purpose and deepest desire" writes on page 3, the human body radiates electromagnetic energy. To reflect deeply, the electromagnetic energy of the heart is five thousand times stronger than the electromagnetic energy of the brain. The spiritual message then, anyone who wants to heal the soul or wants to attain enlightenment, the heart can help five thousand times more than the brain. And to be frank, a smile is the language of the heart.

One of the bright souls ever born in our day is Zig Ziglar. The last author and public speaker even gave the title of one of his books: "Something To Smile About". The contents of this book are filled with spiritual and psychological ingredients that make your heart full of smiles. Of course the reason behind all of this is because Zig Ziglar deeply understands that a smile heals and make the soul whole as well.

In the West, there was an interesting story like this. One day there was an old man who had a very complicated disease that made the doctors give up. When the certain disease was treated, it made the other diseases worse. If the the doctor conducted surgery on the first disease, it created trouble to the other diseases.Since he was unable to find the light of healing in the medical world, he then decided to rent a small hotel room for three months. And spending the whole time simply watching funny movies that made him laugh and smile. After three months, this old man had recovered.

To make the story short and precise, there is light hidden behind the smile. The spiritual seekers who seek healing, they can find healing energy in a smile. Spiritual friends who seek peace can find peace in a smile. In the time when someone's smile is deep enough, they can even open the gate of perfection behind the smile. As it is often shared, perfection is not the absence of imperfections, but the ability to smile to all imperfections.

And the journey to get there is not simple. It is far from easy. Although the physical distance between the head  and the heart only a few centimeters, but it takes a long time and great effort to get there. Let's deeply understand what Paula M. Reeves, Ph.D. wrote on page 125: "Heart lives in a spiritual realm where ego knows nothing". A deep smile as a beautiful sign of blossoming heart can only be found where ego and selfishness have no land to grow.

For that reason, in order to make the soul heal and to be whole, let's learn to grow in spiritual lands where there is no ego and selfishness. To put it simply, learn to surround yourself with friends who see the light of kindness in your heart. Train yourself to serve as many beings as possible.

It would be far more beautiful if you can work in the areas of service that makes the soul bloom beautifully. To put it more concrete, always see all beings as suffering souls who need your help. Feel the complicated network behind their anger and violence. From the wounded childhood, wretched parents, until the fully troubled schools.

Once their network of suffering is opened, then beautifully share the energy of compassion. At least do not create any harm, see them with the eyes which are full of acceptance. In short, always keep in the heart that they do not need your anger and revenge. Always think about the kindness they once did. If there is time to pray, pray for them to be happy. Above all, remember to hug the everyday experiences with a beautiful smile. The rest, do not be surprised if life brings you the unexpected miracles.
