Laughter
Laughter is one of the most essential facets of life in my opinion, for it brings a Joy that is fulfilling and whole. When we add humor to Life, we open ourselves to a universe full of giggles, silliness and wonder. In those moments we release our worries and find a complete awareness of “being in the moment”. Laughter is a beautiful thing as it cultivates our connection to our inner child. Spiritually speaking the inner child is a spontaneous, creative, lively and joyful part of our personality and soul, which we knew so well in our childhood. Laughter is one the simplest ways to re-connect to our inner child.
Let’s explore for a moment why humor is so essential to our well being. When we are laughing, having fun and joking, we are experiencing a lighter, softer side of life. Things that “Tickle our Funny bone” (and what’s wrong with a tickle now and then); release pent up tension, anger and stress. Just silly self expressionism brings us to a more elevated state of consciousness. We laugh at something because it is funny, we laugh because it is ironic, and we laugh because it is an unexpected moment that creates a feeling response of glee. Finding humor in things lifts us out of the ordinary into the extraordinary.
