Just did a wonderful session with elders ..one of whom was 99 years old …we sat and swayed to hawaiian music,laughed when we brushed our hair,laughed at ourselves with pretend mirrors, i showed the power of the pencil held in between smiling lips even when they are eg watching TV, can stimulate the ‘smiling ‘ muscles and proven to release the ‘feel good ‘chemicals ..we did some ‘conscious breathing’ exercises together, and finally with the aid of relaxing music we all did a simple muscle relaxing 10 minutes together . All this was done seated. I was impressed how everyone was willing to have a go and hopefully they took something from the session into their everyday lives .

Today was my apple fast day …in other words no other food intake other than apples …big apples..small apples..green apples…red apples….

i love food so this is a difficult day for me

however through the day when i felt a bit ‘flat’  i would do the ‘haha’ mantra and this lifted me …

so i got through the whole day with apples and ‘hahas’

today i can eat    and it is the ‘yum yum ‘ matra

I am facilitating laughter yoga groups with the Elders around Moray. In the photo I have given out pencils as a key to more joy . Research shows that smiling with the pencil in between the lips can activate the smiling muscles..so even if one is watching the TV with the pencil in place it brings about more joy.

Combine a lovely holiday in Koh Phangan with Laughter Yoga …after the training you can take regular Yoga courses, Tantra Workshops, De tox at Samma Karuna . Samma is one of the most popular Schools on the Island.
