Uplifting Laughter

"Laughter is the music of the heart."

Recently I attended a weekend workshop with a group of spiritually minded women. The two women running the workshop fed us with spiritual food for our souls and a smorgasbord of delicious vegetarian foods for our bodies. We felt nurtured and supported in the best possible way. The weekend was all about elevating our energy and was filled with the introduction of numbers of marvelous spiritual tools, meditations, music and rhythm, tuning forks, sacred geometry, Earthing information and tools, crystals, energized waters and more. It was all fascinating and I’ll share more about some of these useful tools in upcoming posts.
    
Spirit had still one more tool for us, laughter. By the last day of the workshop we all felt relaxed and comfortable, easily sharing and laughing. During one particular exercise I started laughing and couldn’t stop. Try as I might the laughter kept bubbling up from within. Anytime I even looked at one of the other women I started laughing again. Laughter is contagious. We were all laughing. It felt great.
   
Laughter is contagious for a reason. It is good for us.
    
Afterward I felt much as you would feel after having had a good cry, but in a positive way. I had released something through laughter that needed releasing. I felt easy and relaxed, smiling happily. I felt aligned, centered and loving. I felt as though I were expressing my true self and isn’t that what elevating our energy is all about?

Your Spiritual Toolbox

When I feel the need to relax and release with laughter and I don’t have a fun weekend workshop at hand, one of my favorite things is to watch YouTube videos of newscasters who can’t stop laughing. It is hilarious as they start laughing, and getting their fellow newscasters laughing until everyone is guffawing, tears streaming down their faces. At this point as I am watching I too am laughing. YouTube does a good job of recommending similar videos and after watching several of these in a row I am guffawing right along with them.

Search YouTube for old comedy sketches and TV blooper videos. The actors end up laughing and us with them.

Laughing baby videos are wonderful.

Give it a try next time you want to elevate your energy with laughter.
