As the saying goes, sometimes what you are looking for is right under your nose. Could it be the ease of a smile? Certainly that’s right under your nose.
It turns out these two bodily features—the smile and the tip of the nose—have a beautiful relationship, at least in meditation. They both hold the potential of offering relief: a smile offers gentle acceptance and the tip of the nose offers a stable place to rest your attention.
Week 2 of the Practice of Living Awareness is called “Tip of the Nose.” Why the tip of the nose? What actually happens there? We’ll spend this week exploring that.
Happy meditating.
