Guided Smile Meditation

You might listen to this in headphones, in a lossless format
 This tambril meditation technique was pioneered by a man named Don Wassoman
 And I had the honor to learn directly from Don
 He would use acoustic sounds to guide the sensation of the meditation
 I have expanded to the synthesizer
 So, I'll be at my keyboard to help guide these sensations
 Let's start with the face
 This is a very busy part of our body, this is...
 Mission control, a lot of senses
 Meet at this nexus, and there's quite a bit of activity
 There's a constant chatter in this region, a constant computation
 And it's very loud, but you may not notice it
 Like a refrigerator that's running, that suddenly shuts off
 That quiet chatter is constantly happening
 And it's good, this is how we decide
 This is how we go about our day
 But it's important to have some control over this chatter
 For example, let's gently roll some of the high-end off of this chatter
 It's important to examine this chatter, these are your thoughts
 They say the unexamined life is not worth living
 Well, the unexamined thought, it's not worth thinking
 You might move these thoughts forward from behind your eyes and mind
 Just a few feet in front of you
 And just... just look at them
 See... See what they're up to, see what they're saying
 After all, they're your thoughts
 You might notice the thoughts gently orbiting
 Around your head
 Until they're a few feet in back of your head
 And they gently fade away, this chatter
 And you're left just experiencing
 What is currently Happening
 I like to think of a dog meditating
 A deep inhale
 Release
 Sense smiles spreading through the eyes
 And with the gentle listening and receptivity
 Aware of the ass
 This is a chance to check in
 I studied with a great teacher
 Who would refer to this as the "ha-ha" region
 Listening to and feeling whatever mood is here
 Without judgement
 An honest contact
 Much like the chatter, we're unaware of our ass most of the day
 You might add in an ambience around your ass
 Experience this new space
 Feel this new sense of freedom
 To exist with... with your ass
