It's called Laughter Yoga the particular technique that leads to laugh for no reason, together with other people also unknown. The self-induced laughter can easily be turned into a real laugh if you are in a group. Laughter is contagious and is transmitted more easily when you laugh in a group with a good eye contact.
The technique has been tested and developed by the Indian doctor Madan Kataria, who in 1995 began his adventure in a public park, where he invited people to laugh along with him; by 400 regulars of the park, in the world today there are more than 3000 Laughter Club where laughter is used as a healing energy that can revitalize your body and spirit.
If we ask ourselves when was the last time that we laughed spontaneously, just for the pleasure to be happy, we would find it difficult to try to find the answer.
Over the past twenty years, numerous scientific studies have shown that laughter has a beneficial effect on the immune system and helps to reduce the negative effects of stress by acting positively on the body and mind.
A typical session of "Laughter Yoga", in addition to laughter, is based on exercises based n the principles of yoga deep breathing, meditation and relaxation.
Deep breathing stimulates, through the rhythmic movement of the abdominal muscles and the diaphragm, a synaptic branch of our nervous system, producing a sense of calm and increasing the supply of oxygen to the body. A "session of laughter," has an average duration of 20 minutes, in which you start with a long series of breaths followed by tours of stretching to loosen the muscles and the repetition of the vocalise "HO-HO-HA-HA-HA "joined the movement and rhythmic clapping of hands that help create a good level of" energy group ".
There are several techniques and stimulated laughter exercises that help to benefit from the action of laughing, and contribute mainly to develop what is called by the same Kataria, "the laughter inside, which carry within you, that there is ever, that only you can awaken and spread around you ". |
