Laughter Yoga, It's Healthy For You

odemagazine.com:

The teacher gathers his laughter yoga students from the corners of this tiny studio on the second floor of a downtown Manhattan building. Most of us have never met and from the looks on some faces, aren't quite sure what to expect. "Ha-ha-ha," our laughter sensei begins, clapping along with the cadence. "Ha-ha-ha," we respond, also clapping. "Hee-hee-hee," he continues; we "hee-hee-hee" in obedient reply. Then we begin to meander around the room, clapping and continuing with different variations of the ha-ha-ha, hee-hee-hee chant. When we come face-to-face with someone, we have the option of patty-cake clapping with that person.

Deb and I teach laughter Meditation

we have people in our workshop lie on the ground with heads facing the center .. relaxed and eyes closed someone starts laughing it triggers off an other then another.

It is wonderful and great when teaching a day.. a weekend or longer as it loosens up everyone and there is a sense of not taking yourself too seriously!

It is also a way of people connecting and can even go deeper releasing deeper stress.

Joyfully,

Ed

Have people lie on the floor with a persons head on another person stomach and their head is on another persons stomach...down the line, a conga line of peoples heads on anothers stomach. When one person starts to laugh that will bobble the other persons head and that will make him laugh and it just filters down the line, and before you know it everybody on the floor is laughing.
Learned this in my college days, its a great ice breaker at parties.
