Labyrinth of Laughs


A laughter club participant recently shared this wonderful story about her mother:

She was walking a labyrinth (similar to a maze, but with a single path to the center) along with a group of others as part of a spiritual meditation. Embarrassingly she starting laughing too hard while she was trying to walk, laughing at how serious the others were. It just cracked her up and she could barely continue.

I too sometimes think the spiritual community needs to lighten up. Too often the perspective is lost, that laughing is indeed very spiritual; in my mind the most spiritual activity, as it connects you to your truest essence.

So I love this idea of walking a labyrinth while laughing, running the energy of laughter through the maze, carving a path of joy! Bravo to this wonderful woman, who thought she was doing it wrong.
