TIPS

You don't need perfect teeth to have a perfect smile. Not everybody has perfect teeth, and that's okay. Beautiful teeth are nice, but a great smile doesn't depend on Abercrombie & Fitch teeth. That said, if you feel uncomfortable about your teeth you may be reluctant to smile, and that's no good. If that's the case, either learn to appreciate your individuality or look into cosmetic dentistry procedures.
Begin your smile with your eyes. If you find that every time you try to smile with your mouth, you look like you're faking it or, worse, like you're in pain, you may find it useful to look in a mirror and smile only with your eyes. Once your eyes are smiling, they tend to pull your whole face (including your mouth) into a natural, beautiful smile.
You've probably heard of "contagious" or "infectious" smiles. There's a reason for this. When you smile, it does tend to make others around you smile. Even in the most stressful times, a roomful of smiles can brighten everybody's mood. Either that or make someone seriously pissed at you, just because you are smiling when they are talking about someones funeral...
Ever laugh hysterically about something you've just seen? Now, think of that instance again will help fuel a full blown smile.
A lot of men feel uncomfortable about smiling at strangers, especially at other males. If that is the case, then just offer a casual "Hi", or "Hey man!", or "What's goin' on?". It works just as well, and feels less awkward for a lot of guys.
Try a light smile: dont show as much teeth as you would when you would be laughing-its the best smile for flirting-light and seductive.
If you have a tooth that pokes out a bit at the side, as many people sometimes do, try to get your lip to go above it so your lip doesn't catch on the tooth when you smile.

HOW TO SMILE

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 05:52:00 +0000

"Frown and you frown alone," it is sometimes said, "but smile and the whole world smiles with you." The whole world? That may be a stretch, but a smile can be incredibly powerful. Wearing a warm smile can draw people to you, put others at ease, and even cheer you up. Not just any smile will do, though. Here's how to develop a genuine, infectious smile that can make a bad date turn good, seal a business deal, and help you make friends wherever you go.

STEPS :

Practice good hygiene. If you've got bits of food stuck in your teeth, people may indeed say you have an infectious smile, but they might be talking about actual infections. It should go without saying, but regularly brushing your teeth and making sure your breath is fresh are prerequisites to a good smile. If your teeth are stained, visit the dentist for a polishing or use a whitening product, and take care of your lips to prevent chapping. When you smile people will inevitably look at your mouth, so following these considerations will help you make a better impression, and, more importantly, a healthy mouth will make you feel more confident about smiling.
Get comfortable with smiling. Many people are a little nervous about smiling. They don't think their smile looks good, or they think that smiling makes them look unprofessional or vulnerable. It's true that a smile does show a little vulnerability, but that's part of what makes it so powerful. No matter how professional, intelligent, or in control you think a serious face (or worse, a frown) makes you appear, people almost always respond better to a smile.
Think happy thoughts. The easiest way to a great smile is to be happy. You can be happy joke that you just find hilarious. Remarkably, when you're feeling down, smiling can help cheer you up, even if you have to coax a smile out at first. all the time, but not everybody is; when you are not, you can think happy thoughts instead. Think about something or someone that you care about, or think about a
Smile with your eyes. When we think of smiling, we think of the mouth, but the eyes may actually be more essential to a warm, genuine smile. Smiling with your eyes is difficult to describe--in general your cheekbones lift slightly and your eyebrows dip a little--but when you see it, you know it: it's that look of your eyes "lighting up" or "twinkling." To get a feel for how to make your eyes smile, get in front of a mirror and practice smiling, but concentrate only on your eyes. You may find it helpful to cover the lower part of your face with a piece of paper. Play around with it a bit, and you'll find that you can make your mouth smile when your eyes aren't smiling, and you can also smile only with your eyes. When your eyes do smile, remember how it feels, which muscles are working and how. With practice, you'll be able to smile with your eyes at will.
Develop your smile. Don't particularly care for your smile? It's a common complaint, and while it's true that any smile is better than a frown, it's also true that some smiles look better than others. What's your best smile? One way to find out is to look through pictures of yourself. Many people who consider themselves unphotogenic are plagued by bad smiles in front of the camera, but just about everybody has at least one picture in which they just look great, with a perfectly natural, contagious smile. Find that picture and focus on what your face is doing. Then practice in front of a mirror until you get it just right. Keep practicing, and pay attention to how that great smile feels, so that you'll be able to replicate it without looking in a mirror. Soon it will become second nature, and you'll likely find that you'll look more photogenic in your next batch of pictures.
If you want to improve your smile, look at pictures of smiles that you believe are beautiful. Also, think good thoughts and remember that you are beautiful (inside and out). Your smile is bound to look better if you feel good about yourself!

WORLD SMILE DAY

World Smile Day

When : Always October 7th

World Smile Day celebrates the ever popular yellow smiley. It also offers us an opportunity to do an act of kindness. According to the World Smile Day website, a proclamation of this day was made by the U.S. Congress. Now that should put a smiley on your face.

The smiley face became so popular, that the U.S. Post Office issued a stamp with the smiley face.

The intent of World Smile Day is to do an act of kindness, or help one person to smile. Why not do both!?

The yellow smiley stands brightly smiling upon this day, offering it's stamp of approval.

About the Smiley Face:

Harvey Ball, a commercial artist from Worcester, Massachusetts created the smiley face in 1963. The State Mutual Life Assurance Company hired Harvey as a free lance artist to create a smiley face for use in improving company morale. From there, the bright and cheerful smiley grew in popularity. It's popularity grew slowly at first. Then, it exploded in the 1970's. Ultimately, the smiley became wildly popular.

There is some controversy over the smiley's creation. French entrepreneur named Franklin Loufrani claimed to have invented it in 1968. In 1971 he patented it in 80 countries.

Origin of World Smile Day:

Harvey Ball of Worcester Ma. created World Smile Day. Concerned about over commercialization of his smiley, he felt one day a year should be dedicated to smiling and doing acts of kindness.

The first World Smiley Day celebration was on October 1, 1999. It is unclear why the date of the celebration was moved.

Kindness: Your Inner Smile

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 05:29:00 +0000

"Beauty, unaccompanied by virtue, is as a flower without perfume."
-- French Proverb

Virtue is an "old-fashioned" term that means moral excellence or goodness. A virtuous person possesses certain character traits, or values, that society considers worthy of admiration. Honesty, compassion, courage and kindness are some of the values that make us good in the eyes of others.

Like a flower with an pleasant scent, people who exhibit virtue in their daily lives attract admirers. They are respected by their friends and family, valued by their employer and embraced by their community. They make the world a better place. People who are beautiful on the outside may be pleasing to look at, but people with inner beauty leave a sweet fragrance in the lives of everyone they meet.

Of all the different values a person can possess, kindness is a special quality that generates tremendous power. It uplifts heavy hearts, brightens dark situations, heals hurt feelings. Hatred and anger are no match for the power of kindness. And perhaps best of all, every act of kindness gives you a warm glow in your heart that nothing else can match. You are best to yourself when you are good to others.

Being kind doesn't require much effort. In fact, the smallest acts of kindness often mean the most. Letting someone go ahead of you in line, writing a note to a discouraged friend, offering to do a simple chore for a family member - kindness is a gift of great value that costs you very little.

Remember, kindness is an excellent measure of your smile power.

Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.

-- Ian MacLaren

What is the best way to walk into a crowded room by yourself? The answer is simple: take something very important with you - a smile.

Wearing a smile when you are among strangers is the best way to invite them to get to know you. A smile sends a message that you are friendly and easy to like. It tells people that you have a positive outlook and that you are smiling and attractive on the inside. Your face is the first thing people look at when they meet you for the first time, so why not let it advertise what a great person you are? Why not turn on your Smile Power?

The Bible says, "Don't depend on things like fancy hairdos or gold jewelry or expensive clothes to make you look beautiful. Be beautiful in your heart by being gentle and quiet. This kind of beauty will last, and God considers it very special" (1 Peter 3:3-4; Contemporary English Version).

Now let's talk about using Smile Power in a room full of strangers. Do you know how to mingle? It's really not that hard, especially if the first thing that people see is a smile on your face. Look around the room until you see a group of people who look interesting - looking for other smiles is a good place to start. When you spot a group of friendly looking people, go up to them and say, "Hi." Then tell them your name. You may want to ask a question, such as, "I'm new to this place. What should I do to be a part of what's happening here?" People love to give advice, so you will give them a chance to be friendly toward you if you ask a question like this.

If you find that this group is unfriendly or doesn't share your interests, tell them it was nice meeting them and move on. Sooner or later you'll find people whom you want to be around and who will welcome you to their group. The secret is letting your Smile Power shine through.

Like a flower with a pleasant scent, your smile can draw people close enough to see inside you. That's Smile Power. A smile has the power to radiate the qualities that make you beautiful on the inside - kindness, friendship, honesty, respect, patience, and self-control.

Give smiles away like flowers. Let your smile be an invitation for others to get to know the great person behind the smile. Then let people see that your smile doesn't stop at your mouth. It goes all the way to your heart.

Be like a flower. Let your Smile Power bloom!

Dr. Fulton recognizes that patients have greater needs than straight teeth. She and her team are committed to letting each patient know that he or she is more than just an orthodontic case. Every patient is treated with respect, compassion and sensitivity to his or her individuality.

Through her personal interaction with her patients, Dr. Fulton emphasizes the importance of personal excellence. She is especially devoted to promoting positive qualities of character in children - an expression of inner beauty she calls Smile Power.

Young people are exposed to millions of messages about who they are and how they should relate to others. Many of those messages do little to encourage the development of characteristics such as kindness, courtesy, honesty and self-control. In both words and actions, the people in Dr. Fulton's office seek to exemplify Smile Power while encouraging patients of all ages to do the same.

Dr. Fulton and her orthodontic team work to promote a family atmosphere in her office that makes each patient feel valued. Children enjoy the warmth and personal interest that Dr. Fulton and her assistants demonstrate. Adults appreciate the personalized care they receive as their case progresses. A commitment to serving the patient with excellence and understanding is the cornerstone of Dr. Fulton's practice.

SMILE SAYINGS & POEMS

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 05:21:00 +0000

Smile Sayings:

A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give. - Author Unknown

It takes a lot of work from the face to let out a smile, but just think what good smiling can bring to the most important muscle of the body... the heart. Author Unknown

Smile Poems:

Smile by unknown
Nobody ever added up the value of a smile:
We know how much a dollar's worth; And how far is a mile;
We know the distance to the sun; The size and weight of earth;
But no one's ever told us yet, How much a smile's worth.

A Baby's Skies by unknown
Would you know the baby's skies?
Baby's skies are mother's eyes
Mother's eyes and smile together
Make the baby's pleasant weather.

Baby Girl Poem by unknown
I know there are girl angels
I see one every day.
She gives me a hug
and kisses my cheek
and then runs to play.
From her toothless smile
She's my little angel
Sweet as you please

A Dream of a Child by unknown
Sometimes while I sleep you may see me smile
Maybe quite often - maybe once in a while
Perhaps an angel just whispered to me
And said just how lucky a child can be

Romantic Smiles:
If you are documenting the smile of a sweetheart, try this poem out.

Your Smile by Kathleen Aho
Time speeds by us, yes, both night and day
but memories of your gentleness and of your smile will always stay.
You have shown me so many times
that you shall love me always and everwhile....
For every tear you wipe away
you replace it with a smile.

There is a certain something that you do.
I look up and there you are, wonderful you.
My day brightens and my breath catches with a start.
You are there always within my very heart
It all shows on your face, just a little smile...
and there again, I know you love me, everwhile.

Add some smiles to your albums soon. Better yet, add a few more smiles to the day of someone who needs one in 2004. Sharing the power of a happy smile is a great thing.

1. Smiling makes us attractive.

We are drawn to people who smile. There is an attraction factor. We want to know a smiling person and figure out what is so good. Frowns, scowls and grimaces all push people away -- but a smile draws them in.

2. Smiling Changes Our Mood

Next time you are feeling down, try putting on a smile. There's a good chance you mood will change for the better. Smiling can trick the body into helping you change your mood.

When someone is smiling they lighten up the room, change the moods of others, and make things happier. A smiling person brings happiness with them. Smile lots and you will draw people to you.

4. Smiling Relieves Stress

Stress can really show up in our faces. Smiling helps to prevent us from looking tired, worn down, and overwhelmed. When you are stressed, take time to put on a smile. The stress should be reduced and you'll be better able to take action.

5. Smiling Boosts Your Immune System

Smiling helps the immune system to work better. When you smile, immune function improves possibly because you are more relaxed. Prevent the flu and colds by smiling.

6. Smiling Lowers Your Blood Pressure

When you smile, there is a measurable reduction in your blood pressure. Give it a try if you have a blood pressure monitor at home. Sit for a few minutes, take a reading. Then smile for a minute and take another reading while still smiling. Do you notice a difference?

7. Smiling Releases Endorphins, Natural Pain Killers and Serotonin

Studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins, natural pain killers, and serotonin. Together these three make us feel good. Smiling is a natural drug.

The muscles we use to smile lift the face, making a person appear younger. Don't go for a face lift, just try smiling your way through the day -- you'll look younger and feel better.

9. Smiling Makes You Seem Successful

Smiling people appear more confident, are more likely to be promoted, and more likely to be approached. Put on a smile at meetings and appointments and people will react to you differently.

10. Smiling Helps You Stay Positive

Try this test: Smile. Now try to think of something negative without losing the smile. It's hard. When we smile our body is sending the rest of us a message that "Life is Good!" Stay away from depression, stress and worry by smiling.

Reiki TUMMO®: A Path to the Heart

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 11:36:00 +0000

Reiki TUMMO®: A Path to the Heart
Irmansyah Effendi

All truth is in your heart, not in the physical heart, but in the core within yourself where your true self resides. To access that truth you must open your heart and Reiki TUMMO® can help you do just that. Reiki TUMMO is not a tradition founded on Usui Reiki. It is a technique that developed independently and goes beyond healing to assist you in your spiritual growth.

Spiritual progress in Reiki TUMMO is based on learning to use your heart more in your daily life and opening your heart for true insight and understanding. When you learn Reiki TUMMO, you are introduced to energy channeling for healing, but also as a tool to lead you into your heart so you can learn directly from your heart, rather than from others.

With Reiki TUMMO attunements, your main chakras open and the main energy channel within your spine, the sushumna, opens from the top of your head to your tailbone. The sushumna is crucial for your health as all of your vital organs are connected to your spine. When this channel opens, energy flows freely. Negative energy is released easily and clean energy can flow in effortlessly. The opening of your sushumna, together with your ability to channel energy, improves your physical, mental and emotional health significantly.

These benefits are simply the beginning. In Reiki TUMMO Level 2, your Kundalini is awakened. The Kundalini, a natural power within all human beings, is sought by those who are serious about their spiritual growth. Kundalini is the special energy that helps you to thoroughly cleanse your energy body continuously, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, the Kundalini is hard to awaken. Spiritual seekers can spend years of practice to have their Kundalini awakened and, even with special practices, they still have to take specific precautions so the strong energy of the Kundalini doesn’t create problems. In Reiki TUMMO, your Kundalini is awakened instantly and safely. Once it is awakened, your Kundalini will help you with the cleansing process and you can expect to have better health, feel happier and enjoy rapid spiritual growth.

A core practice of Reiki TUMMO allows the practitioner to let divine energy flow into the heart continuously, cleansing, purifying and opening the heart. Divine energy is the most important factor in helping you to be within your heart, rather than simply observing or focusing on your heart. By being in your heart, you experience divine light filling your heart with infinite joy and peace. You experience bliss. As you are also connected to the earth’s core energy, you experience the bliss while still living in daily and routine situations. So, you enjoy all the beauty of living in your heart while going about your regular activities and living a typical life.

The good news does not stop here! We all know that the heart is the key to the real truth for all truth is within our hearts. The only question is how to access the truth when the brain dominates our lives and blocks any connection to the heart. This is what Reiki TUMMO is actually about. Reiki TUMMO prepares you for an advanced technique that allows you to go into your heart and find the truth within. Only with access to the real truth within your heart can you grow spiritually.

In Reiki TUMMO, you connect with your heart, with divine energy and with the earth’s core energy. As you connect to your heart, you feel the peace and the stillness that is always there. Your connection to divine energy is an essential element in spiritual development because divine energy is the most effective energy for cleansing and opening the heart. As you get better connected to your heart, your heart will become stronger. Since the heart is the center of love and compassion, you will feel more peaceful, relaxed and happier in your daily life. A stronger heart and a better connection to the divine energy will also elevate your awareness. When you encounter a situation that would normally trigger negative emotions, you will simply smile instead of being angry or upset. It is wonderful to have a heightened level of awareness for you can live your life with love and compassion rather than negative emotions. A stronger heart and a better connection to the divine energy are mandatory in preparing you for further spiritual study.

Once you are ready to let your inner heart guide you all the time, you are prepared for more advanced studies. You will attain your soul consciousness and then your true self consciousness easily. This does not mean that you simply connect or communicate with your true self. Instead you are fully conscious as your true self within. At this point, the true meaning of life and the real goal of life will be so clear that you will perceive life as a joyful journey to return Home.

STARTING TO USE YOUR HEART

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 12:12:00 +0000

Head Vs Heart

It is time to start working with your heart now. First, you will feel the difference between using your head (brain) compared to your heart. So let's do the following exercise :

1. Think of something serious for about 1 minute.
Do you notice that after thinking about serious for a minute your head, especially your forehead area, feels a bit heavy or you feel pressure in that area? This is caused by using your brain. When the brain is used seriously, you feel pressure and your head is heavy.

Do you also notice that you are aware of this more than you usually are?

2. Assume that you are right in front of the person whom you love the most. Feel how happy you are by being close to that person

Are you aware that the happy feeling you are experiencing is not coming from your head, but in your chest? This is because the center of feeling is not your brain, but your heart. We are talking about the non-physical heart here, the center of happy feelings. The heart is the center of positive feeling only. All negative feeling such as anger, hatred, sadness and so forth, do not originate from the heart, but from the emotional heart, commonly called the solar plexus.

So, there is something else within you, something that is very important for the better quality of your life. Although your brain is essential in helping you perform your tasks, without your heart you will never be really happy, and without being happy your life is empty. The heart is crucial for your sense of happiness and well being.

The Power of Smile

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 05:16:00 +0000

The Power of Smile

Emotion is an energy and affects our physical body directly. Negative emotions decrease willpower, turn down efficiency at work, and adversely affect health and mind. We smile in physical layer by contracting 15 difference face muscles and in turn moving more than 230 from 630 total face muscles. Based on a research, smiling motivates brain to release endomorphin which slows down infections, relieves pain, inhibits stress hormone, and increases heart beat and blood circulation. Three minutes of smiling has the same effect as upper body exercises. Five minutes of smiling has better results compared to five hours of high intensity exercise. Ten seconds of smiling has the same result as paddling a boat for three minutes. Smiling is a really wonderful exercise.

You are happy because you are smiling…

Smiling is a way to express divine happiness in you heart. Everybody smile when they are happy. So how can we smile without a reason? Does it not feel weird or unnatural? We will change our way of thinking for a while. Aside from smiling because of a happiness, actually we can be happy because we are smiling. SMILE TO INVITE HAPPINESS. A research has shown that just by pulling both ends of our lips to smile will incite positive biological reaction in our body.

Release your emotions by smiling

Our brain is not meant to process two separate information at one time. We cannot be happy and sad at the same time. We are only be able to be happy or sad but not both. This is a protection mechanism by which our brain prevents ambiguities which potentially damage our mind. What to do if you want to smile while experiencing negative emotions? Initially, you might feel tense because of the emotions. However, try to smile and you will experience a miracle. Negative emotion will just go away and disappear.

Smiling is not just simple movements of face muscles. Smiling affects your life positively. It is not easy to smile when we are faced with hard situation, but try to pull you lips. And you will soon realize the negative emotion will disappear by a smile. Try to smile everyday and see the difference on your face. Realize the continuous change to a better way. Don't people say that smiling invites fortune?

Smile even when you are on your own. The Smile of your deepest heart is always there, trying to surface. Happiness and the joy are our divine nature.

Salam dalam Cahaya & Kasih Tuhan…

Rekan-rekan yang terkasih,

Dalam kesehariannya orang lazimnya menghadapi emosi dengan cara berbeda, yakni dengan ekspresi atau represi. Emosi negatif tidak hilang hanya karena kita menekannya, sebaliknya hanya akan tersimpan di dalam otak sebagai memori emosional, yang akan keluar dalam bentuk ledakan amarah atau penyakit fisik. Mengekspresikannya keluar emosi masih lebih sehat daripada menahannya. Akan tetapi ledakan emosi keluar akan meninggalkan jejak yang sama kuat dan bertahan lama di dalam jiwa. Lalu harus bagaimana? Mungkinkah kita berinteraksi dengan sesama tanpa beban emosi menyertai? Maka pada kesempatan ini kita akan sedikit mengulaskan tentang bagaimana mengontrol emosi tanpa menekan atau mengekspresikan emosi tersebut.

Emosi adalah energi dan memiliki pengaruh langsung terhadap tubuh kita. Emosi negatif akan melemahkan kemauan, menurunkan efisiensi dan daya tahan tubuh juga daya pikir kita. Kita tersenyum pada tingkat fisik dengan mengkontraksikan 15 otot terpisah pada wajah serta menggerakkan 230 dari 630 total otot lebih. Menurut penelitian, tersenyum merangsang otak untuk melepaskan endomorphin yang menghambat infeksi dan mengurangi rasa sakit, menurunkan hormone yang terkait dengan stress, serta meningkatkan denyut jantung dan sirkulasi darah. 3 menit tersenyum memiliki efek sama dengan latihan tubuh bagian atas. 5 menit tersenyum lebih baik dari 5 jam kerja keras. 10 detik tersenyum sama dengan mengayuh perahu 3 menit.
