The purpose of the JMIJ Smile Meditation is to enhance joyful contentment, tranquil serenity and a radiant countenance. First we summarize research in gelotology and the neuropsychology of smiles and laughter. We compare the Taoist Smile Meditation of Mantak Chia and Park Jae Woo. Then we propose a Jewish practice of meditative smiles based on the 10 kabbalistic sefirot and sources from R. Nahman of Bratslav and R. Moshe Cordevero.
