Laughter greetings:

World Laughter Day is upon us! World Laughter Day is a global event that is celebrated on the first Sunday of May, every year. It is a positive manifestation for world peace and is intended to build up a global consciousness of brotherhood and friendship through laughter. Its popularity has grown exponentially with that of the Laughter Yoga movement (now present worldwide on all 5 continents). Don't miss this opportunity to connect with like-minded souls!

May you thrive.

Laughter Research. The findings of 2 new research were announced this month:

  1. Using humor: Watching a Funny Video for 30 Minutes Per Day May Help High-Risk Type 2 Diabetes Patients Improve Heart Health
  2. Using Laughter Yoga: Forced laughter is a powerful, readily available and cost-free way for many adults to regularly boost their mood and psychological well being

Inspiring Laughter Video. Here is the best and most inspiring laughter video we have seen in April. It's called "Bodhisattva in metro": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jedd2FiZTqM

-------

New Movie Featuring Laughter Yoga. Enlighten Up includes a short segment on Laughter Yoga. It is out now in the USA.

-------

450 active Laughter Clubs in the USA? This is our guestimation and we are actively working on backing it up with names, time, addresses and contact information. The Laugh Angeles directory of Laughter Clubs currently lists over 200 active (not "would be") Laughter Clubs in the USA, and we are pro-actively identifying and adding more every day. Is your Laughter Club listed?

-------

Network, network, network! We urge you not to stay isolated. Call Laughter Yoga people in your area or beyond. Share your experiences. Get together every now and then (World Laughter Day is a great occasion). Try the daily telephone laughter line. Laughter Yoga people in Southern California get together on a Saturday afternoon once every quarter to share and network. There is huge personal value in that (2 have more ideas than just 1.) This is a free event. The next meeting will be in Los Angeles on Saturday July 25th, 2009. Contact us for more information.
