Laugh Pact: No Limit
Dear Laugh Pact Friend,
What new will YOU do in 2021?
I look forward to doing new Laughter Yoga exercises, new combinations of Laughter Yoga with different healing modalities, new breathing exercises, learning new instruments (kalimba!), and taking Laughter Yoga into new realms!
There really is no limit to what you can do… with Laughter Yoga and beyond!
I wish you and yours a new year filled with good health, peace, joy, prosperity, happiness, and inspiration. Happy New Year, Laughter Friends!
Please take care & LAUGH ON!
😄 Kara

Laughter Yogi Ernest Umwanankabandi of Rwanda needs our help. His family and community needs food. I know Ernest from the videos he shares on his Community Resilience and Laughter Club Facebook page. Watch him share Laughter Yoga with the children of his community.
Please read his story, donate if you can, and share this GoFundMe page far and wide. Thank you so much!

Have you tried a Laughermations Session? Laughermations combines Laughter Yoga and Affirmations. We start each exercise with deep breathing and saying an affirmation 3 times out loud. Then we do a corresponding Laughter Yoga exercise while keeping the statement in mind. The more you feel and connect to each statement, the more rooted they will be become. You can build and strengthen a positive, resilient mental state.
Here’s the Laughermations Series Playlist.

Laugh Pact: Celebrate Life
Dear Laugh Pact Friends,
On December 3rd, my dad died from COVID-19 complications. While my heart is very heavy, I’m happy to share that I managed to record a Laughter Yoga Session yesterday. I haven’t laughed this much for quite a while and I must admit: it felt great! This one is dedicated to my dad. I picked exercises in honor of him. It’s a different, quite personal approach to Laughter Yoga… I really hope you like it.
Laughter Yoga Session: Celebrate Life will go public on Friday, December 18th. I’m sharing it with you now as a thank you for your support.
I plan to take some time for grieving and to celebrate the holidays, so my video schedule will still be irregular. I’ll send the next Laugh Pact List email in January. Thank you so much for your patience with me.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! Sending love and laughter your way… please take care and laugh on.

Laugh Pact: Personal Update
Dear Laugh Pact Friends,
This message is a day early because I have a moment right now… I have a very personal update to share with you… I don’t think I’ll be able to maintain my regular video schedule for a little bit. My dad was diagnosed with Covid-19. He’s in the hospital ICU now. His health is declining.
I recorded this Coherent Breathing video when my dad was stable… and I’m happy to share it with you.
I won’t have a video to share on Friday… maybe next week. I’ll try. This is definitely a test for my laughter practice… I don’t know if I can bear a Laughter Yoga session right now… I have continued pranayama. I also find playing and writing music helpful right now. It feels right. My dad has always supported and enjoyed my music.
Thank you so much for your support. Sending lots of love to you and yours.
Please take care and laugh on,
Kara
