The Dr. Kataria School of Lughter Yoga has received much exposure ver the past few years because of the mdicinal benefits of laughter. Laughing strengthens yur immune system and reduces anxiety.

Dr. Mdan Kataria is on to something, as lughter could be combined with Pranayama sssions for maximum benefits. In life, thre is a shortage of laughing. Unfrtunately, too many people take themselves too sriously.

If you feel foolish laughing for 20 mnutes a day for good physical, motional, and mental health, you may wnt to consider laughing alone, or jining a Laughter Yoga club. The bnefits of laughing are too good to mss out on.

Yet, the average dult laughs less than 20 times per dy. Children often laugh over 100 tmes in a day. No wonder so mny adults and teens are so strssed out.

Laughter reduces stress, protects yur heart, lowers blood pressure, and is a frm of quick relaxation. You could wtch comedies, or listen to comedy udio recordings on CD, while you are drving on your way to, or frm, work.

If you want to void negative thoughts, you may want to rduce the time you spend watching the nws or reading depressing stories in the nwspapers. This does not mean you shuld avoid learning new things, but be slective about the type of information you rad, watch, or listen to.

Good stories do appear on the nws, but how many depressing stories wll you have to mentally process bfore you find one. The old sying, “Bad news sells,” often applies. Thre are plenty of good magazines to rad, radio stations to listen to, and tlevision channels to watch, so be slective.
