The adrenal glands are small glands, located over the kidneys. Their job is to release many different hormones necessary for body functions. Two major hormones produced by the adrenal glands are adrenaline and cortisol, stress hormones that work with other hormones the glands produce. When the adrenals endure prolonged stress, they cannot keep up with the body's stress hormone requirement, causing adrenal fatigue. Adrenal fatigue is largely caused by lifestyle conditions or illness, such as: •…See More

Laughter Yoga with my youngest recruit, my granddaughter

I led my third Laughter Yoga session at a retirement home today. My 5 year old granddaughter who is off due to March break came with me. She was truly an inspiration and funny. She laughed with a heart filled with love and compassion. We picked the exercises out the night before and she helped lead everyone in Tickle Laughter, Big Cat L, bumper car, clown L, and brain freeze L. She handed out happy face stickers and did the Flower breath exercise with them. She even quieted down to do our…See More

The Clown Chakra

The Clown scientists have found that all our problems can be placed under one heading: Seriousness. Seriousness is the leading cause of everything from Cancer to Reincarnation. Scientists from the Clown Academy have recently discovered a new source of healing. It is a psychic energy point located between the heart chakra and throat chakra. It is called the clown chakra. If people are feeling miserable; if they have financial problems; if their relationship situation is the pits; if they are in…See More

Developing a Laughter Habit

Laugh for ten minutes each day, both for its health benefits, and to develop the habit of “laughing for no reason,” bringing more joy into your life and the whole world.In 1979 Norman Cousins published a book “Anatomy of an Illness” in which he described a potentially fatal disease he contracted in 1964 and his discovery of the benefits of humour and other positive emotions, in battling it. He found, for example, that ten minutes of mirthful laughter gave him two hours of pain-free sleep. His…See More

Business Description
Certified Laughter Yoga Leader
Laughter Yoga is a unique form of exercise that was founded in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria, a medical doctor from Mumbai, India, where anyone can laugh for no reason without the need for jokes or comedy. Dr. Kataria, and his wife, Madhuri, developed a program that combines laughter as a physical and playful body exercise with yoga in the form of deep yogic breathing (no poses).

Scientific research shows that the body does not know the difference between real or fake laughter. So, while the laughter often is initially forced, it soon becomes real due to eye contact and the contagious nature of laughter in a group. What started as one group of 5 people in a park in Mumbai on March 13, 1995, has now grown to become a worldwide phenomenon with more than 6000 clubs in over 60 countries.

The benefits of Clapping

Posted on January 23, 2012 at 6:46pm 0 Comments

Would you take up an activity, or encourage your children to engage in it, if you knew that it could reduce the risk of dyslexia and dyscalculia, improve cognitive abilities and special task performance, social integration, handwriting and spelling and make you feel more focused and less tense?

Apparently all of the above is as easy as clapping your hands.

New research has found a clear link between hand-clapping and neurological development that aids cognitive thinking, writing…
