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?
wow incredible India
Full Moon in Tiru
Today is full moon …this means later today around 4pm thousands of mainly hindu folk will descend upon this little town which is at the foot of the holy mountain and spend 5 hours walking around it ..grandmas,kids,cattle the whole shabong ….last full moon i cheated and went round on my bycycle..that was enough for me ..ha ha

Swedish film crew
A Swedish film crew turned up in my LYsession ..they are following 2 families around India and they wanted to come to laughter club …it was good fun doing the laughter sounds and all running into the centre of the circle coming up against cameras and microphones …the programme is showing in March in Sweden ..I am still in India so wont be watching it …they are posting it on you tube so watch this space
Have just trained up 2 more LYleaders …I love doing the training ..it is the icing on the cake …
what i love about being here in India ..especially here in Tiru which they reckon is 1 0f the most powerful places in India…is that from the moment I wake ,till I lay my head on pillow at night I never know what the day will bring …ho ho ha ha ha

S.Indian Laughter Club with Manda
The 3 weekly laughter clubs are going good here …getting around 12 people for each session ….we blow laughter bubbles from the rooftop of tiru and bounce laughter balls …good fun ….gaining a core group who want to go deeper into the work through the 2 day training …it is interesting doing the laughter stuff here because many westerners are here for the spiritual satsangs from the numerous teachers so tend to be ‘serious ‘ i think the work i am doing here is invaluable …always good to laugh at self ….
ho ho ha ha ha
