Laugh For No Reason?

Absolutely! You don't need a reason to laugh. Your brain can't tell the difference between 'fake' and 'real' laughter. If laughter is the "best medicine" and I believe it is, along with scientist, researcher and thousands of people who practice laughing for no reason, than why not start laughing for no reason right now?

Laughter Yoga combines playful, empowering and tension-releasing laughter with with simple yogic breathing exercises. You don't need a sense of humor, jokes or comedy to laugh using Laughter Yoga. As an exercise, Laughter Yoga is used as a tool to relax, energize and to become more confident and positive. Because laughter is contagious simulated laughter turns into 'real' laughter and in-turn joyful. The concept of Laughter Yoga is based on a scientific fact that the body cannot differentiate between 'fake' and real laughter. You will experience the same physiological and psychological benefits.

Laughter Yoga has many benefits beside the joy of laughter. It strengthens the immune system, combats negative effects of stress, and is a powerful antidote to depression and anxiety. It alleviates high blood pressure and asthma and increases tolerance to pain. In addition, it improves sense of humor, self confidence and communications skills. Laugh as a way to improve health, increase well- being, and promote more peace, tranquility and understanding in the world.

Want to start stressing-less, enjoying more, get healthier and increase your level of happiness? Come laugh with me for no reason. I offer a variety of Laughter Yoga Workshops for the work-place, schools, colleges and private organizations.

I'm Laughing With You

Are you laughing at me? No, I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you. 

Recently, I've been using laughter as a tool for coaching my life coaching clients who have been under extreme pressure. Many of them are so overwhelmed with stress that they are unable to see the trees that make up the forrest. When I ask what it would feel like to have all their stress relieved, their faces light up and their entire deportment relaxes. They smile, sigh and release a short chortle of a laugh. I respond in-kind and the chuckles roll into genuine laughter. The release of endorphins, the flowing of the blood the lightening of the mood, reduces their circumstances right down to its base: manageable situations.

Laughter truly is the best medicine when used properly and when you follow the prescription. I even recommend laughing before that important meeting or interview as laughter is a great stress reducer and has a wonderful way of reminding us what's truly important in life.
