Laughter Meditation

About

Meditation is not only a way to still the mind, it holds the beautiful essence of bringing us into the Love in our Hearts.  Yogis and Yoginis of ancient times knew that laughter is a priceless gift capable of bringing us to equanimity.  Laughter, that is, for no  reason other than the enjoyment of laughter.  In this session, Tammy Bray will lead us with just a 1/2 hour of this practice to overcome any uncomfortableness one may have in giving this experience a try.  While seated, we use laughter as a way to work with our breath and our energy levels, and taking time to pause and notice how we feel inside as we laugh our way to health.  So come for fun for the health of it, and health for the fun of it!  Yes, laughter has many health benefits...naturally increases serotonin and dopamine levels, ability to lower blood pressure, oxygenates the blood, strengthens the immune system, produces fun social interaction, improves attitude, and so much more.  Please be aware of your own physical conditions/limitations, as this will stimulate your heart rate and oxygen levels.
