Isn\u2019t life just wonderful?\u00a0 You may agree and others may not agree so fast. No matter what is happening in your life now, we live with the hope that things will turn for the better. Many times \u2013 they do.<\/p>\n

Laughter is so important. I am not talking about a smile here and there, but pure joy and laughter.\u00a0 When was the last time you laughed so hard that tears started flowing down your face. Remember that time? I bet you can\u2019t even remember what it was for \u2013 but you sure do remember the scene. Was it really that long ago?\u00a0 I want you to know that you have the same joy within you right now. Let\u2019s bring that joy back to your everyday life and being!<\/p>\n

They say laughter is the best remedy to all illness.<\/p>\n

Dr. Norman Cousins fended off a life threatening disease using his own regimen of nutritional and emotional support system as opposed to traditional methods of treatment. Cousins is often described as \u201cthe man who laughed his way to health!\u201d<\/p>\n

For every minute of laughter, you produce somewhere around $10,000 worth of healthy body chemistry.<\/p>\n

Laughter operates on at least three different levels. They are the biophysical, the biochemical, and the bioenergetic levels.<\/p>\n

Laughter moves lymph and oxygenates your organs at the biophysical level. It\u00a0moves lymph fluid around your body simply by the convulsions you experience during the process of laughing, so it\u00a0boosts immune system function <\/a>and helps clear out old, dead waste products from organs and tissues.<\/p>\n

Laughter increases oxygenation of your body at both the cellular and organ level. By laughing, you intake vast amounts of oxygen in gulps.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also interesting to note that cancer <\/a>cells are destroyed in the presence of oxygen. In fact, many parasites and bacteria don\u2019t survive well in the presence of oxygen, and to the extent that you can circulate extra oxygen throughout your body, you can help prevent, or in some cases treat, these diseases.<\/p>\n

Laughing also boosts circulation. The harder you laugh, the greater this effect. If you can find a way to put yourself into a state of rolling, outrageous laughter, you\u2019re going to get a fantastic physical workout from it! Have you ever laughed so hard that your stomach hurt and your facial muscles were exhausted? That\u2019s some serious exercise, and it\u2019s the kind of exercise in which we should all engage on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

We are here to help you move all blocks and stressors and help you create more joy, laughter and\u00a0overall wellness in your life!<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more tips on how to create better health and wellness for your body!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
