Did you know that we can actually learn to laugh? Our body and mind can be trained to laugh at will. It’s like learning to ride a bicycle. It’s like muscle memory; once you learn it, you never forget it.
Did you know that Laughter Yoga makes a clear distinction between happiness and joyfulness? Happiness is a conditional response. It is dependent on the fulfillment of certain desires of the mind and is related to happenings in the past and the future and hardly ever deals with the present. Do you remember how long you stayed happy after getting that diploma, car, job, or new house that you had worked for so long?
In contrast, joyfulness is unconditional commitment to be happy for the moment and to have fun despite life’s problems. Joyfulness is easily triggered by joyful activities like laughing, dancing, singing and playing. It is purely a physical phenomenon while happiness is a concept of the mind.
Laughter Yoga goes beyond just laughing? It’s a high impact cardio-vascular workout, fostering feelings of physical well being. It enhances the spirit, touches the emotional core, cultivates positive thinking and promotes understanding. Laughter Yoga gives participants the opportunity to actively enhance the lives of others.
“Laughter Yoga is a joyful vehicle capable of uniting and empowering an entire community”.
