For the Love of Laughter
How can we lift our hearts, brighten our moods, and boost our spirits, especially in the face of widespread conflict and disillusionment?
How about a good-old fashioned belly laugh?
Laughter yoga, laughter meditation, laughter therapy, humor therapy are now offered. Laughing together increases social connection and bonding, reducing isolation and loneliness.
More communal cultures around the world know the power of humor and laughter. And, of course, children are the masters of spontaneous laughter and fun.
Those of us in the modern, industrialized world, with our tendency to isolate and escape into the mind with technology, can learn a lot from this communal spirit and more heart-centered approach to living.
Belly Love: Why Do We Need It?
Have you loved your belly today? Do you know how important our bellies are to our overall health, strength, and well-being as women? It’s literally the center of our bodies. Safe and effective movement comes from our core. It's our center of digestion and helps regulate our nervous systems and even our emotions via the vagus nerve, our internal organs, and our energy centers and channels including the chakras, nadis, and meridians.
So many women feel disconnected from their bellies and even dislike or hate and put them down. Our bellies can be a sensitive area, emotionally and physically.
Walking on Sunshine
“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it.” ~Søren Kierkegaard
In our modern world built around vehicles, many of us identify them as the primary movers of our bodies. Walking is a reminder that, indeed, we are and have bodies that need to move on their own on a regular basis and for functional daily purposes. The original purpose of exercise and movement is not to achieve an image at all costs but to survive and thrive in nature as a physical being.
