Laughter in an Insane World

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

laughWes Annac – Let’s be honest: We live in a crazy world with a lot of (mostly) well-meaning but crazy people. Unless you frequently meditate or go live in the mountains somewhere, it’s difficult to escape the insanity of our modern world.

Whether we care to admit it or not, most of us contribute to the craziness with our political beliefs (and the resulting lengthy Facebook posts), our religious or spiritual beliefs (and again, the resulting lengthy Facebook posts), and the way we generally treat people.

I’ve witnessed too many people on social media claim to be “enlightened” before getting into the kinds of arguments you’d expect from a twelve-year old. I’ve seen people attempt to be a voice of reason on the internet only to be drowned out by a sea of passionate anger from those who’ve long abandoned reason.

Most people would rather fight over their differences than work together to improve a world they claim to care about. If you try to approach them with reason, they’ll drown you out like a toddler throwing a tantrum. Sadly, their tantrum will garner much more attention than your plea for sensibility.

Ascension and the Great Transformation

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

transformationDaniel Mitel – “Ascension” became one of the most used words in the spiritual world especially prior 2012. Obviously, the event from December 21, 2012, linked with Mayan prophecies attracted the attention of the whole world, spiritual or not. Thousands of spiritual practitioners from all over the world were getting very excited by the window of change opened by the alignment of Mother Earth with the Father Sun and the Galactic Sun. People from all over the world literally prepared for a planetary ascension. However, it is not clear if the people who expected it really understood the Ascension process itself.

On December 21, 2012, thousands of people visited Yucatan, the place where the Maya prophecies came to the world and Mayapan – the last great Maya capital. People from all over the world were visiting Maya pyramids and literally believed that the world will end and we are going to move, to transcend and ascend to another dimension. Useless to say the disappointment that followed the next day when all the believers saw that we were still here, we were still on the third dimensional Mother Earth.

Energy Change in Mother Earth

First, we need to clarify something very important. The Mayans and all the other indigenous nations were talking about a change in the energy of Mother Earth. A change in the energy of Mother Earth would trigger automatically a change in our bodies. This change is literally happening right now. We are a “generation of transition.” Continue reading →

6 Good Reasons To Laugh More Every Day

Sarah Gibson – Laughter really is the best medicine. I mean, we can see it all around us. We see children in the play area, running around laughing and smiling and living in the moment, while their parents sit on the side, full of the stresses of day-to-day life and only the occasional smile breaking their otherwise serious faces. People on their death beds often say they wish they had laughed more. Don’t be that person! We could all do with a bit more laughter… And you’re about to find out why! Here’s the 4-1-1.

laughterWhy Do We Laugh, Biologically?

Research suggests that laughter and humor help the human brain process conflict around us. The dopamine that is released in our brains when we find something funny makes us feel good. It releases tension, increases motivation, memory and attention and helps us process pain management.

So How, Exactly, Is Laughing Good For You?

Okay, so we all know that it feels good to laugh. When it comes down to the physical changes that occur in our brains, dopamine is released and can dissolve stress, relax and recharge us, and help relieve pain – a golden triangle of good feelings! Continue reading →

Love & Laughter

Stuart Wilde February 25 2013

Laughter is a form of love and a very powerful medicine.

We find reasons to laugh many times a day. Sometimes I tell my friends funny stories and soon the whole room is filled with the warmth of the fire and the shimmer of shared laughter.

Or, I crack a joke with the barman at the local Dog & Duck, we chuckle and make a circle of light with our feelings  which others are drawn into. And lilting laughter brightens the eyes of the curly haired lady in the chemist with the good soul, as I pretend to write myself a prescription for some good stuff with my finger on the counter. We share a jolly moment and she passes the warmth onto the next person that enters with her jovial banter that breathes life force into their being.

When you laugh with others you can’t help but bounce a little joy back into your own heart. ~ John Dealey

If you want to feel better, here’s a suggestion for you that has worked well for many others: Do more, be more . . . and LAUGH more!

Laughing is healthy.

It helps the body’s immune system, it keeps you healthier, it cures depression, it reduces stress, it induces sleep, it’s invigorating, it’s rejuvenating, it has no unpleasant side effects and laughing is nothing less than a miracle drug!

Laughing is all natural.

It is organic, naturally sweet, and is 100 percent wholesome. Laughter has no pesticides, no preservatives, and absolutely no artificial ingredients.

There are no movable parts, no batteries to wear out, no periodic check-ups required. Laughter has low energy consumption, and yet has a very high energy yield.

Laughing is inflation proof, non-fattening, has no monthly payments, no insurance requirements, it’s theft-proof, non-taxable, non-polluting and, of course, fully returnable.

Laughing is practically perfect.

When you laugh with others you can’t help but bounce a little joy back into your own heart. So, think about your own “daily laughter rate” and make a decision to increase it.
