The Senior Center Ageless Laughter Club will be meeting tomorrow, from 3-4 p.m. Please join us!
Yesterday after the Ageless Laughter Club meeting, a woman who has been participating for over a year said to me, "My husband [apparently a stern man] said the other day, 'You used to never laugh. Now that's all you do. Laugh, laugh, laugh!'" |
"I will survive" - A bit slow at first, then becomes hilarious |

Dear Friends,
The testimonies we hear from those we laugh with touch our hearts. There are some common remarks - significant stress relief, energetic cleansing, and serious fun.
Laughter yoga is not a magic happy solution, but living with more laughter helps the rough times become bearable. Tension in relationships is eased. It's hard to remain resentful towards those with whom we laugh for an extended time. It's also hard to laugh and simply think at the same time.
So much happens during a laughter yoga session. What seems like a simple concept brings profound results. We reclaim one of our first ways we communicate. Huge amounts of fresh oxygen replenish our bodies. We bond with others socially. Our brains automatically reset neurochemicals and hormones to accomodate peace and joy. Stagnant energy exits - bringing surprisingly cathartic experiences. We get a chance to play again with lowered inhibitions. We have serious fun laughing at nothing for no reason. In time, we become laughologists - searching each day to find something/anything to induce laughter. This brings a wealth of health benefits and overall levity to life.
Please come join us for some laughs with the hilarious laughologists at the Senior Center. We have a diverse group - donation of $5/pp - just show up! We'd love to have you.
laughlovepeace,
Leigh and Jon
