USING LAUGHTER AS LAKESHORE’S BEST MEDICINE It has long been known that laughter is good medicine, but now comes the Laughter Program, the latest in stress reduction therapy. Derived from Yoga and supported by modern science, the Laughter Club is a place where you can go to laugh your stress away. And now its coming to Lakeshore, thanks to Irene Kaye, Certified Laughter Leader with the World Laughter Tour. People in Laughter Programs/Clubs use systematic laughter routines to reduce stress, prevent hardening of the attitudes and contribute to world peace. Laughter Clubs are designed to make anyone feel better, work without using jokes or comedy to stimulate the laughter. Kaye says, “There can be sensitive issues around humour, such as people not getting jokes or being offended by them. So we can skip jokes altogether. We laugh with each other, never at each other. Genuine happiness and health-boosting laughter rings out from Laughter Programs.” “This is not only a breakthrough in integrative healing strategies,” says Kaye, “it can be done at work during your coffee break, or in the backyard, with your neighbours. The most typical reaction to a Laughter Program has been that we need this now more than ever.” On-going research in the science of laughter, points to the method’s capacity for reducing stress and diminishing social isolation while improving self-confidence and general sense of well-being. World renowned researcher, Dr. Lee Berk, at the Univ. of California, reports strong evidence of laughter’s role in boosting the immune system and, therefore, laughter is likely to aid in preventing some illnesses altogether. According to Kaye, “Laughter is a universal language, which in our groups acts as a powerful social and emotional glue. Laughter has no accent. Laughter programs and clubs are open to everyone. Contact us for information about therapeutic laughter programs and how to join the local laughter program. |
