Have you ever caught yourself laughing so hard your sides felt like they were going to split open?  Or your cheeks hurt from laughing so hard?  When was the last time you did that? 

Think back....when was it?  Some experts say we should laugh every day.  That it boosts our immune system and keeps us healthy.  Did you know there was such a thing as laughing yoga?  IT'S TRUE!
 
How many of you laugh every day?  How many of you can't remember the last time you laughed?

Fortunately, my kids remind me to laugh pretty much every day.  Somehow, it comes naturally to them - they see the humor in life. 

It makes me wonder how we miss that in our day-to-day lives as adults. Laughter is at the seat of enlightenment.  When we laugh, we are in THE present moment - without judgment, fear, doubt - without any type of egoic thought.  We are just laughing.  We find this place where time stands still and we aren't caught up in what people are thinking, what we should be doing or any type of unrealistic rationalization.  We just ARE. 

"Laughter is the nectar that flows directly from the Soul."  When we laugh we wake up our inner spirit, our guides - we touch our inner brightness and we are shining our light into the world.

When we laugh we are One with the moment.  For a nanosecond we are liberated from our thinking mind and in alignment with our super-aliveness.  We go back, even for a second, to who we were before our conformity began. 

"When our laughter is absolutely genuine, we can hear the whisper of our inner spirit assuring us that we may recapture our joy."

"Humor is the beginning of wisdom and wisdom introduces us to Reality."  What a profound statement.  Much gratitude to M. Beckwith for your words of wisdom and love. 

Laugh today - at anything - laugh for REAL.  Notice how it makes you feel - alive.  Have a great day!
