The benefits of laughter
It’s true: laughter is strong medicine. It draws people together in ways that trigger healthy physical and emotional changes in the body. Laughter strengthens your immune system, boosts mood, diminishes pain, and protects you from the damaging effects of stress. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hope, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert. It also helps you release anger and forgive sooner.
With so much power to heal and renew, the ability to laugh easily and frequently is a tremendous resource for surmounting problems, enhancing your relationships, and supporting both physical and emotional health. Best of all, this priceless medicine is fun, free, and easy to use.
As children, we used to laugh hundreds of times a day, but as adults, life tends to be more serious and laughter more infrequent. But by seeking out more opportunities for humor and laughter, you can improve your emotional health, strengthen your relationships, find greater happiness—and even add years to your life.

On the laughter yoga weekend I attended, half the second day was spent examining in great detail the amazing benefits of laughter. The physical effects on the body go way further than you would imagine. And yes, boosting the immune system is one of them. They did'nt warn me that my stomach muscles would be sore for the next few days though.

I've seen that Mooji video berore, whatever you laugh at doesn't always have to be funny.
I must admit, I was very sceptical and almost had to be dragged along. What's so amazing is the the person in charge isn't really funny, he just asks you to copy the ridiculous things he's doing. But, the result of about 150 adults behaving like young children triggers something that gathers momentum until everyone is in a state of hopless uncontrolable laughter, even to the extent of rolling about on the floor. I could not believe what was happening...
Laughter yoga is very popular around the world and particularly in Germany for some reason. The guy who ran the coutse I went to is considered to be one of the best in the world this is him. Seems ridiculous I know, but somehow it really isnt....
