A slight smile hints to tranquility and joy. Try it yourself. How do you feel? Is your mood lifted? Do you feel gentle happiness? How do the muscles in the rest of your body feel? The point is not to contrive some sort of fake expression but allow the physical to gently invite a more delightful state of experience.
"A tiny bud of a smile on our lips nourishes awareness and calms us miraculously. It returns us to the peace we thought we lost." - Thich Nhat Hanh
Observe classic works of art for this expression. Raphael's cherubs are a perfect example:
