World Laughter Day is this Sunday, May 6.
World Laughter Day was created in 1998 by Dr. Madan Kataria, founder of the worldwide Laughter Yoga movement. The celebration of World Laughter Day is a positive manifestation for world peace and is intended to build up a global consciousness of brotherhood and friendship through laughter. Its popularity has grown exponentially with that of the Laughter Yoga movement now counting over 6000 Laughter Clubs in more than 65 countries.
For more information about World Laughter Day and to find some local events in your area, check out www.worldlaughterday.org . If you can't find an event nearby, don't let that stop you. Find a local laughter club in your area and/or check into becoming a certified laughter leader at www.laughteryoga.org or www.laughteryogaamerica.com. The world could use more laughing and we need everyone!
I took my Laughter Yoga Leader training a couple years ago, and I never felt so awesome after that weekend. I was so elated and energized yet, interestingly at the same time, at peace and very calm. It was such a "feel good" experience and beautiful how it brought the whole group together in a such a joyful and loving way - a real sense of community and lots of genuine sharing. I have since led several Laughter Yoga classes and every single one was a joy and filled with so much positivity. Only smiles, clarity and feel good faces. That is why WORLD PEACE THROUGH LAUGHTER is such a wonderful initiative, and I highly recommend integrating laughter in your life - daily if possible - creating a laughter practice of your own - or even start your own laughter club - why not?!!
Benefits of Laughter include:
L aughter releases endorphines, giving a "feel good factor"
A cts like aerobic exercise - as "internal jogging"
U nleashes inhibitions, breaks down barriers
G reat team building tool encouraging better communication
H elps boost our immune system which helps resist disease
T ones muscles, improve respiration and circulation
E ncourages positive thinking and creativity
R elaxes the whole body by reducing stress and tension
WOW! Can't go wrong here!!!
