I had an absolutely fun and enlightening time on Winning Life Through Pain today. I hope you guys will check out the archive on the Laughing Lady, Amy. She is a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader. Laughter truly is the best medicine. It promotes positive energy. Norman Cousins actually reversed a very life threatening condition simply by laughing. If you laugh heartily for ten minutes, it will burn the same amount of calories as 30 minutes on a rowing machine. Everyone can do it regardless of physical condtion or lack thereof. It is contagious. It releases endorphins, is a natural muscle relaxant and pain reliever. People who laugh do not get as many colds or illness in general. People who laugh sleep better.
