How a good joke can boost my health! 😄
The power of laughing
Everyone has the ability to laugh.
However, few people allow themselves to burst out laughing every day.
Laughing is an indispensable human characteristic, which helps to :
- Lighten the mood.
- Not to take myself too seriously.
- Relieve tension.
- Play down.
- Share.
- Have fun.
- Experience joy.
- Make life more enjoyable.
Health benefits of laughter
To laugh is linked to joy, and is also therapeutic.
This is why clowns are sent to hospitals.
Physical body
2 minutes of fun every day helps to reduce the stress in my body.
This allows to relax and be healthier.
The benefits can be seen in the physical appearance: it is easy to tell the difference between a cheerful person and a sulky one.
Having the giggles allows a deep relaxation of the nervous system.
Energetic body
By releasing certain tensions, the energy starts to flow again.
Laughing strengthens my energetic body and helps it to repair itself.
Moreover, laughing is energizing.
Emotional body
Having a good laugh allows me to release emotional memories.
By laughing, I allow myself to let go of the guilt and pressure.
The only condition is not to joke at the expense of others.
Spiritual body
Children have fun naturally.
As adult, I laugh much less often.
I take life too seriously. But life is about enjoying and living!
My Higher Consciousness is composed of love and light. The joy of laughter is part of my essence.
By guffawing, I open myself to my divine part.
How to laugh more?
It is not necessary to watch comedy to laugh, although this is a practical option.
It is quite possible to voluntarily trigger a giggle on my own.
This is what laughter yoga is all about.
Process
- Recall a funny situation.
- Start laughing out loud in a provoked way.
- Imitate the movements of laughter: lift my shoulders, say “ha ha ha”, clap hands on my thighs, etc.
- Gradually, natural laughter occurs.
If I cannot laugh, or only with the help of alcohol or drugs, then this is a sign that many emotions are preventing me from being myself.
A session with an emotional therapist could help.
Conclusion
The benefits of laughter are many.
I need humor regularly: it is one of the best therapies.
Laughing is free, available at will, easy, and even better with others.
