Five Week Laughter Course

Facilitated by Jackie Curran(Laughter Lawyers)

Laughter Lawyers workshops are a fun, playful series of exercises that stimulate the body to rediscover its ability to laugh deeply for no reason. It's contagious, energetic and has amazing benefits for any one that practices.
Laughter is a powerful tool for dissolving stress. It only takes minutes to reduce stress hormones and produce endorphins that rapidly lift your mood, the atmosphere and the morale of individuals and groups.

Laughter Lawyers will be running a five week course on Wednesday nights commencing the 5th of August. This program covers the history and philosophy of laughter for no reason, and teaches tools you can use every day to relax and relieve stress. Enjoy laughing, deep relaxation and simple meditation.

Success with Laughter

Every human being has infinite potential to perform and achieve anything he desires, but most of his power lies dormant and untapped. The human brain has a left and a right hemisphere. The left side of the brain is analytical, logical, calculative and concerned with learning skills. You can't learn some things beyond a certain limit. The right side of the brain is concerned with intuition, imagination, inventions, music, art, creativity, meditation and healing. The power of the right side of the brain is unlimited. One of the easiest ways to stimulate the right side of the brain is by playfulness. By being playful one can become more creative and imaginative. It will unfold the unlimited potential of our beings.

The problem with most of us is that we can't be playful all the time or with everybody. A laughter club is an ideal platform which gives an opportunity to be playful in a group, without the feelings of embarrassment.

Laughter Yoga helps bring forth the best in human nature. Laughing for no reason is born of right brain activity and therefore lacks reason and defies analysis. It is deliciously out of control because it is not a rational process. It is a purely physical process that does not need anything the mind has to offer (i.e. a reason, some sense of humour, or a belief of happiness). It brings forth the uncontrolled and unsubdued voice of the heart / the soul / your higher self that expresses and helps to manifest all of the intrinsic qualities of human nature. It is a state of mind-body in which the dominant emotions are pleasure, peace, love, and joy and as such it imparts a sense of well being and freshness.

Laughter changes "who we are" for the better. Humans are creatures of habit. Most of what we consider our identity or "who we are" is really a series of learned behaviours or "what we do". Regular practice of Laughter Yoga helps reprogram negative responses into positive ones (e.g. we argue laughing; we laugh at an imaginary high credit card bill.) Nothing is taken away from the importance of the event except our reaction to it. People who saw themselves as “shy” discover themselves assertive public speakers; short-tempered individuals learn to control their moods and defuse their anger by “laughing it out”, etc.
