"Hi welcome to facial yoga. We're going to look at negative and positive emotions. What kind of methods will we discover when we look at both the negative and the positive. We could look at this feeling of jealousy. I'm exaggerating all of these emotions because we're looking at what happens if you do go into extreme emotion, and a lot of times you you might not even be aware of how your face is responding to a situation. You have a sense of jealousy or becomes even more heated or it could become rage. It can become, you know, violent even so you got the potential to choose that and it is a choice. None of the emotions really have any kind of power not unless we give it to them. So if we have this feeling of jealousy and uncomfortableness and restlessness, we can find the face, you know, making a sour face. We feel that sense of intensity. We can get really, you know, the breath might change, you can start to really feel like you're ready to explode and then take it all the way out there and hold it. And then take it to the opposite direction. Let it start to melt and let the belly to laugh and use ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ho-ho-ho-ho, ha-ha-ha-ha. So this the invitation to look at anything that's really seriously in your mind, in your emotions that have to do with that negative aspect. That feeling of fear and I know that I can release that by simply going ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. So you can feel that the eyes get wet, you feel that you've done really deep breathing into the belly and you've actually been doing the deep abdominal lift which are a part of the wholeness of yoga. And so, I thank you for taking time out and exploring the negative, those horrible, mean, nasty, aggressive motions and you can release them and allow them to be this gentle, soft, loving, kindness."
