There’s an old saying in the self-help world: Fake it till you make it. It’s the concept that you envision yourself as the person you want to be which enables you, over time, to actually be that person. The same holds true for laughter. When we laugh all the time we’re engaging in an act of self-healing, even if we fake that laugh.
For those who find it hard to laugh by themselves there’s a cure: Laughter Yoga. We take a look at this practice and how it works with Laughter Yoga Master Shelley Bell. She even leads me in some of the exercises! For nearly a decade, Shelley has led groups and taught this gentle yet effective practice and has a lot to say about it, including:
•how laughing benefits our health
•how Laughter Yoga became a worldwide phenomenon
•other unexpected benefits from Laughter Yoga
Get ready to laugh your way to joy in this episode of Dream Power Radio.
