Laughter yoga is about laughing for no reason, without jokes, comedy and humor. But props do help initiate laughter. I am so excited about my new laughter toy I received for Christmas from my daughter. It is called a "Crack Up" and it is the sound of a child laughing. What can be more contagious than the laugh of a child. Everyone time I press the button, I can't help but laugh myself silly. And for my laughter yoga folks, notice the zipper - Zipper Laughter. This is one of my daughter's favorite laughter exercises. That makes this toy even more meaningful. I loaded the video on my Facebook page if you want to have a listen.
So, always remember that toys are valuable tools to keep us laughing and to be joyful. Laughter Yoga is about being childlike and toys are an important part of childhood. We may have grown-up toys now, but don't forget the toys that make us laugh. We need to keep one or two toys to help us deal with the stress of adulthood. Play, laugh, sing and dance this year to keep yourself healthy in mind, body and spirit.
