Why are Laughter Clubs mostly women?
Theories abound.
Mine is: women (in general)
can access their feelings faster.
Men (in general) take a bit of space before they’ve arrived at their
emotions. (No disrespect intended,
just an obvious observation) And
laughter is a LARGE emotion.
In Laughter Yoga we access our laughter at a rapid fire
pace. I demo a laughter
exercise. The knee slapper for
example. Jump starting most
participants. Then count to
three. Boom! Laugh! It’s shocking at first for some. Total delight for most. But it’s immediate.
No hesitation. And women
are simply better at this.
But practice makes perfect. After a bit of warm-up, most everyone is laughing at the
count of three. It’s like any
class – it’s a learning process.
Learning to laugh for no reason.
Learning to access our laughing place at the drop of a 1 – 2 – 3.
