The most Frequently Asked Question is --- How do you laugh when
you're in no mood to laugh or when you don't have any reason to
Laugh? The answer is simple...
There is a well-established link between the Body and the Mind.
Whatever happens to the Mind happens to the Body as well. If you
observe sad and depressed people, their bodies are also depressed.
They walk slowly, talk slowly and their body functions are slow and
sluggish.
The opposite is also true; whatever happens to the Body also
happens to the Mind. I remember my father once told me: ‘If you’re
sad, don't sit idle. Keep doing some physical work or go for a walk
and jog, you will feel better’. And he was right; I have always
felt better by keeping my body active.
Even when unhappy, behaving or acting happy will bring the mind to
a state of happiness. Bring laughter to your Body and your Mind
will soon follow.
Laughter Yoga uses the two-way Body-Mind link to change the state
of the Mind through voluntary physical gestures including
Repetitive Clapping, Chanting, and specific Body Movements,
together with Laughter and Breathing Exercises.
This effect is so powerful that we have seen Laughter Yoga overcome
severe depression in thousands of people the world over. In fact,
there is a saying in the Laughter Clubs: ‘If you can't Laugh, bring
your body to the Laughter Club!’
