Question

Do you remember the last time you laughed out loud? For most of us, laughing out loud is an uphill task. More often than not, people think that they have no time to laugh as there are more important things to do. But if you ask Jean Leggett, the Canadian founder of Bootcamp, she’ll say that you do not have anything more important to do than just laugh. Says Sudha Chandra, “Hiring a laughter coach changed my perspective towards life. I learnt to record my emotions and ensured that the four elements of joy — dancing, laughing, singing and playing —- helped to build an emotional reserve.”
2. The cynic in us may still think it is an exaggeration, but the fact is that we can be taught to laugh more. Neuroscientist, Jodi Deluca says, “It doesn’t matter why you laugh. Even in small doses, laughter improves the quality of life. You can condition people to feel more positive as laughter opens up the mind and frees the creative juices. It makes us more receptive to new ideas.” New York-based laughter coach, Beth Bangar says that since our everyday lives are full of stress, in her classes on laughter, she uses the ‘gibberish’ technique, where everyone laughs by using gibberish sounds. Such playful exercises help reduce inhibitions and shyness and convert simulated laughter into unconditional laughter.
3. According to the greatest laughter therapist, laughter is a cathartic process which helps rebalance the chemistry of our emotions and, so can be a Keynote for healing. Several researchers on the benefits of laughter, in Japan, have shown that laughter therapy is an efficient, low-cost medical treatment that cuts health costs. According to their findings, laughter is a stimulant that triggers energy inside a person’s DNA, potentially helping to cure diseases. When we are laughing with other people, we share a sense of connectedness, which, in-turn, reduces loneliness. Says comedian Vir Das, “When 3,000 people laugh at me, during my performance, even if I’ve had a bad day, I feel joyful. Not everyone can be a comedian, but we can all learn to be more joyful.”
