ABOUT LAUGHTER YOGA

Laughter Yoga, also known as: hasya yoga (hasya means laughter in Sanskrit), is intentional laughter or sustained laughter. Laughter Yoga combines deep controlled breathing with various types of laughter-inducing exercises. Almost twenty years ago, Dr. Madan Kataria, an Indian medical doctor was writing a paper for a medical journal titled “Laughter is the Best Medicine.” Con

vinced of the medical benefits of laughter and Yogic breathing exercises, Dr. Kataria was researching how to bring these benefits to modern man. In a flash of inspiration, Laughter Yoga was born. Since then, countless people all over the world today enjoy the benefits of a daily dose of laughter in laughing sessions with local groups or at their workplace. It leads to wellness. LY is an amazing tool for stress- management that combines simple laughter exercises, gentle yoga breathing techniques, and childlike playfulness. Laughter Yoga relies on the scientifically proven fact that the body doesn't know the difference between real and simulated laughter. This revolutionary technique, invented by Dr. Kataria, begins as simulated laughter but soon becomes spontaneous genuine laughter. Participants don’t even need to be happy or have a sense of humor to laugh. Because of the eye contact and childlike playfulness that are components of the laughter exercises, laughter comes without jokes, humor, or comedy. Participants discover a deep, human connection with the other people laughing. This experience is fun as well as transformational.

Laughter Yoga session 6/25 @ St Augustine Beach Pier Pavilion 1-1:30pm!What gets in the way of our connection with the Divine Spirit or energy?
The answer is, our mind.
In conjunction with the ego, our mind does a good job creating drama, worry,self importance, turmoil, fear,etc.,
All these energies separate us from the
Deeper Self. Laughter brings energy from our inner source to the surface. Energy starts flowing, and it follows laughter like a shadow. When you heartily laugh for a few minutes, you are in a deep meditative state. The thinking stops. It is impossible to think and laugh at the same time.They are diametrically opposite; either you can laugh or you can think. If you really laugh, thinking stops. If you are still thinking, laughter will be just so-so, and as the mind and the ego get in the way, you will be disconnected from your Self, from your innate wisdom, your spirit, your highest quality presence.
Laughter is the introduction to non- thinking state, a state of the spirit. So develop the habit of starting and/or ending your day with deep belly laughter-- the first and last thing, the kind that makes you shake longer than your inhale. What could be more spiritual than that?

All about the eye contact.

Eye contact — even with characters on food packages — makes us feel a connection.
