Your Health - it's
Not  a Laughing Matter Ha! Ha! Ha!   

 Dear ,
Welcome to IssJohn Imageue 108.  If you did not receive a previous issue, you may use the archive link below to view it now.  The mission of "Marvelous Mondays" is to offer an inspirational thought, a practical exercise, some humor, or a simple tip to jump-start your week and to enhance your life, business, outlook or relationships. 

Please feel free to forward "Marvelous Mondays" to others who will enjoy it.
LAUGHTER YOGA
Yes, I intentionally crossed out the word NOT.  Let me introduce you to Dr. Madan Kataria, an M.D. in India, known as the "Guru of Giggles" and the founder of LAUGHTER YOGA CLUBS.  Through scientific research, he has concluded that laughing boosts the immune system to promote good health and also that it significantly speeds up the recovery process from an illness.

Interestingly enough, laughter can be fake and the brain does not know the difference.  In other words, even if you are not happy or you do not have anything to laugh about, just forcing yourself to laugh tricks the brain and has the same benefits. 

Dr. Kataria is a corporate consultant to national and multi-national corporations throughout the world.  The good news is you do not need to travel to India.  There are now Laughter Yoga Clubs in the United States.  I found an excellent one near 47th and State Line called Plaza Wellspring which is owned by Linda Puttoff.


EXERCISE
I invite you to explore a Laughter Yoga Club.  I would really like to hear your results.  Enjoy!!!
