Description : Description : Why laugh?
In the 1960's, renowned journalist Norman Cousins cured himself of a painful, diagnosed-terminal disease by locking himself into a hotel room and watching a steady supply of funny movies and TV shows. His acclaimed book Anatomy of an Illness told the tale of his recovery and led to extensive medical research.
Some of the documented Benefits of Laughter include:
- Relieves Stress
- Reduces anxiety, fear, depression
- Enhances the immune system
- Improves respiratory and cardiovascular systems
- Relieves pain
- Improves sleep patterns
- Benefits digestion and elimination systems
- Encourages relaxation
- Boosts self-confidence, promotes compassion, deepens creatitivty
It is said that children may laugh 300 to 400 times in a day, yet most adults are lucky if we laugh 15 times - in a good day. (Can you remember the last time you laughed 300, or even 200, times in one day?) When we practice intentional laughter, not only do we reduce our general stress level, we also actually develop our sense of humor. We are more likely to fine things amusing and are able to see the lighter, brighter side of life.
"Laughter does not solve you problems, but it can help dissolve you problems." -- Dr. Kataria
When we laugh, even for no reason, many of the damaging effects of stress are neutralized and we return to a state of balance and peace. Thanks to the discovery and development of Laughter Yoga, you need never be "stressed out" again.
