Yogi: I try putting on a smile when I sit – there is more positive energy and awareness becomes brighter and more continuous.

Sayadaw: When your quality of mind is good, it shows in the face. Actually, the face is the window of the mind. You can see what’s going on in the mind from the face.

The faces of some long-term yogis are very clear and soft. We can know the mind state of the yogis, how aware they are, from their faces.

Yogi: If the face is tense, it means that there is too much energy, right?

Sayadaw: Yes.
