It’s healing to laugh!
I’ve said it many times.
Perhaps it’s time to say it again.
As I’m about to proceed to my appointment with my
reflexologist this morning, I quickly think to exchange my boring white socks
for the ones with bright colored dots.
For I know this will give us an added laugh – just before she goes to
work on my feet.
I chose my new ND for many good reasons, one of which is that I know how easily she laughs. For she was in my laughter class at Bastyr University last year. And indeed we spend not a small amount of our visits in boisterous laughter. It is so healing. The other stuff feels almost incidental. Though it’s also great healing stuff.
Laughter heals in so many ways: boosts the immune system,
stimulates the brain, gives a cardiovascular workout, shakes up the internal
organs, strengthens the lungs, reduces pain, stimulates and relaxes our
muscles, and last but not least, give us a grand emotional and spiritual boost!
