What is Laughter Yoga?

Do you want to bring more laughter and joy into your life? You must learn Laughter Yoga.

Laughter yoga is not comedy; it is a form of exercise that combines deep breathing techniques and laughter exercises, which reduce stress, boost your immune system, and keep your mind positive
  • which reduce stress
  • boost your immune system
  • and keep your mind positive
It is based on scientific studies that the body cannot differentiate between simulated and genuine laughter,so the physiological and psychological benefits are the same.

What is Mindfulness?

Everybody wants to enjoy life, but you can't enjoy it if you are not entirely in the present moment.

Our mind keeps jumping from one thought to another. That's why we call it a monkey mind. A Harvard study found that people spend 46.9% of their waking hours thinking about something other than what they are doing.
Mindfulness is becoming aware and fully engaged in the present moment, rather than dwelling in the pastor projecting into the future. It is the art of being 100% with what we're doing and paying attention to one's thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgment. Mindfulness will help you enjoy life and achieve maximum results with minimum efforts.

Combining Laughter with Silence
for Self-awareness

It is said that silence is gold and the mother of all meditations

Generally, people find it hard to maintain silence even for a few minutes. The moment they sit in silence, they are flooded with thoughts, which hampers peaceful meditation.
This is where the practice of unconditional laughter can help you clear your mind of unwanted mental clutter so that you can experience deep silence. Once you practice silence, laughter will flow out of you like a fountain, very deep and intense. This is what we call Laughter Meditation. It's believed that laughter not only deepens the experience of silence but that silence, in turn, deepens the laughter. (Video)

As thoughts keep flowing during silence, you keep writing down for better understanding your needs and desires, what changes you need to bring to your lifestyle.
