Hi. Havnt blogged for a while.
I just completed an online laughter training and feeling chuffed so I thought I would share .
I do like the way it was spread out over 5 sessions so this gave time for the participant to absorb it more.
The feedback from her today was

“Laughter training with Manda was a laugh as you would expect.But not only that she helped me get the whole session into my body so that when it came time to do my own sessions with members of the public it flowed really well.I also learnt to let go of my inhibitions, so I was well prepared to let others do the same.Laughter Yoga  Training with Manda is more than just instructions it’s experiential confidence building. “

So if you are tempted to train with me why not drop me a line?

‘laughter stealing wizard’

just led a session of 60 6-8 year olds of laughter ..it was a local school’s health week and they invited me in as part of that
i wrote a story ‘laughter stealing wizard’ especially for this event …it worked well as through the story the children laughed like the animals lion,monkey etc …of course the wizard steals their laughter but don’t worry they get it back again and all live happily ever after
it was a sweet story and it worked well ….he he he

bACK HOME IN SCOTLAND

So after Tiru adventured on to Goa, Gokarna and Andamans…still training as I went ..on beaches and under Palm trees …lovely ..it has taught me to be very flexible around the trainings ..
I soon realised after I had left Tiru that the Mountain had a powerful and a ‘holding’ atmosphere,,i missed it and looking forward to my return in December …
I immediately caught a cold and havn’t stopped sneezing since i arrived in Scotland …must admit it is nice to be home …still settling back …I wake up in middle of night and wonder where I am and half expecting to hear the wild dogs or lizards running around my bamboo hut then i remember ..ahh back home ..

last day in tiru

well what a stay this has been in this holy town …4 laughter leader trainings under my belt and 100’s of folk passing through laughing on the rooftop…it has been amazing and i feel blessed to be able to offer this work ….
on to goa and see how much they want to laugh for no reason …
