Laughter Yoga Session

Introduction

Laughing is a wonderful quality that only humans have among all living beings. Laughing and smiling overcome anger. A person who remains happy forever is dear to everyone. If you want to be healthy, laugh loudly every day for five minutes and practice laughter in different poses in front of the mirror.

Laughing relieves tension, brings peace to the mind, prevents heart problems and beautifies the face. Laughing loudly cures many ailments of the stomach, which is why it is necessary to laugh loudly at least three or four times a day.

Make an effort to smile naturally while talking, walking, sitting and standing at all times. This will keep you always in a positive frame of mind because when you smile, changes occur in your body's chemical formation that prevent tension.
