                   GET YOUR DAILY LAUGHTER DOSE                                     

                                           

It’s been a wonderful journey of almost 3 months of getting my certifications in Laughter Yoga as a Laughter Yoga Leader and then doing an advanced course of dealing with specific targets like School Children, Diabetic patients, Cancer Patients and Senior Citizens, Laughter Yoga 2.0 Season 3.  I am proud of my certifications and will take it to places to help make a difference in peoples lives.

It was astonishing to learn that Laughter Yoga is Scientifically connected with our well being and gives us numerous amounts of Health benefits.  I have personally benefited from this, and I am happy to start an online Zoom club to help many others.  This Zoom club is Free of Cost, and everyone is welcome to join. 

What inspired me to know more about Laughter Yoga and how did I learn that something like Laughter Yoga existed? 

In January 2023, my doctor had given me an ultimatum that if I did not reduce my sugar levels she would put me on a weekly injection called Ozempic.  One of the side effects that have been proven on rats is Thyroid Cancer and she assured me that it would be one of a million case.  I could not take that chance.  This was the time my eyes opened, and I wanted to do something about my glucose levels.  My A1C was 8.2 in December and that was high for anyone to be on the road to get a heart attack in the next 10 years.  By March I had to get it down to avoid the Ozempic injection.  I went into my deepest thoughts and prayed hard to find a solution.  It was then in my deepest thoughts I heard a voice saying that “Laughter is the Best medicine” and yes, I had heard this phrase many a times before.  So, I researched on the internet “Laughter is the Best medicine” and then a whole new world opened up for me.  “Long story short, my A1C dropped to 0.99 points in 2 months of doing Laughter Yoga along with my medication and diet, which did not happen with medication and diet and walking before”.

I learned about Henri De Mondeville. He was one of the physicians and surgeons who contributed great teachings of medicine, surgery and anatomy at the medieval. During the 1300’s Henri De Mondeville was the first one who proposed Humour as a therapy post surgery to enable one to healing faster. 

During the early 1900s Norman Cousins, an American Journalist was diagnosed with a very rare disease called “Ankylosing Spondylitis”. This is a disease that only one in 500 will survive.  This was told to him by his best friend and doctor who was treating him.  He was not willing to die young and he defied all odds.  He told his doctor to increase his immunity to the highest and all he did was laugh for 30 minutes every day until the day he died, 26 years later.  That is the Power of Laughter. 

But adults laugh only about 10-15 times a day and that too for 3-5 seconds only.  This does not give you the health benefits unless it is sustained laughter for 10-15 minutes at a time.  Laughter Yoga teaches how to laugh unconditionally, voluntarily and not depend on jokes and funny stories because it lasts only for a few seconds and is not sustained.  

In 1995, Dr. Madan Kataria a medical doctor from India started this unique concept of Laughter Yoga in a small park in Mumbai with his wife Madam Madhuri Kataria and 3 other friends. He initiated laughter as an exercise with deep breathing. He has brought about an awareness that our own body has a pharmacy to help heal our illness and that if we laugh everyday for 10-15 minutes, we will not fall sick easily and if anyone has got critical illness Laughter Yoga will be a great therapy in helping heal faster.  He has a full-fledged University India teaching Laugher Yoga and its Scientific Health benefits with back up research and proving’s.  Today there are 1000’s of Laugher Yoga Clubs all over the world and one must be certified to be able to teach Laughter Yoga and open a Laugher Yoga club.  This is how “Joy’s Laughter Club” came into existence to make a difference in peoples lives. I am the only Laughter Yoga Leader in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. You can find me on https://www.laughteryoga.org/find-ly-professionals/

Different stages of Fear

                                               Just like this tree with different colors of leaves our life has different stages of fear that we go through.  Each stage of fear can be overcome by faith and self confidence. D ifferent S tages of F ear A s babies we have absolutely no fear of anything and anyone.   Babies are so innocent that they love and trust anyone who is loving and kind to them.   They do not judge anyone and are not analytical of what is going to happen to them if they behave in a certain way.   As we grow older as a kid we start adopting some kind of fear.   Fear of spiders, insects, creepers, fear of teachers who would shout at kids for certain mischiefs or if the homework is not done, fear of parents for answering back or not listening to them. Fear about losing any kind of game.   Fear of failing in school or in a competition.   This fear is inbuilt into the child giving them reason of the consequences. As we grow older from being a teenager to be middle ag

  The author wants her readers to relate this picture to the below write-up, bringing about the good within you that you have carried, especially during any challenging situations.                SPILLED MY HOT COFFEE After taking a five-month break to cope with the loss of our beloved fur baby, KOVU —who will always be family to me, I found it very hard to get back to writing.   I found it difficult to settle on my next topic. For a long time, I couldn't find a subject that felt both simple and meaningful, yet strong enough to resonate with everyday life. Then, I came across a story that struck a chord. It's about a young man holding a steaming cup of coffee.   In one moment, everything changed: someone bumped into him, and the hot coffee splashed all over him and the ground, giving him burns on his hands. A gentleman nearby asked, "How did you get burnt?" The young man replied, "Someone bumped into me, and the hot coffee that I was holding in my cup spilled
