Dear Friends,

Humour is a free of cost medicine for many many ailments.

Read the following article (by Jacquie Hermans), if you are curious and keen to know about it.

Benefits of Humour

Do you remember the last time you laughed so hard your cheeks and stomach hurt? During that moment of utter enjoyment your body was being flooded with positive energy that filled your core from cell to cell. A good laugh can have a similar feeling to a vigorous workout at the gym, or the indulgence of an incredible chocolate dessert – all of which are quite enjoyable and have many benefits of there own. A great laugh, however, heals you from the inside out.

To laugh with such unfiltered passion stimulates you mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. You feel positively rejuvenated, light, powerful, joyful and at peace with yourself. Along with these great feelings, come many benefits:

Physically

•Improved respiration and circulation
•Oxygenates the blood
•Lowers blood pressure
•Heart beats stronger
•Stimulates the nervous system
•Boosts the immune system
•Healing chemicals are released

Mentally

•Powerful stress reducer
•Encourages adaptability
•Creativity is boosted
•Increases productivity
•Enhances mental flexibility

Emotionally

•Courage to deal with adverse situations
•Boosts playfulness and spontaneity
•Builds morale
•Relationship builder

Spiritually

•Positive energy is surging through every cell of your body
•More open communication to the spirit world

If laughing has so many benefits – why not be proactive with your health and laugh more? Make a point to laugh everyday. Laugh at yourself when you put on two different socks, or wear your shirt inside out or forget to zip yourself up, rent a comedy, go to a Second City improv show, or find a website that can email you a daily joke. Share a joke with others. You can help others to heal with humour.

Regards,

Bindu
