The purpose of this international holiday is to “build global awareness of health, happiness and world peace through the daily practice of Laughter Yoga.” Read Dr. Madan Kataria’s special message for 2022 here.

Dear Laughter Friends,
Happy 2022! First, let me wish you a year full of peace, love, connection and lots of laughter!
Now… I would LOVE to find out what type of Laughter Yoga Together videos you would like to see in 2022. Please pick your favorite option in this poll and tell me more about your choice in the comments. Heck, for that matter, use the comments to share new ideas or even tell me what types of videos you don’t love. Because hey, I always want to keep improving and create the best possible videos for you.
I’m super excited to find out what you think. Vote today and… laugh on!
With gratitude and laughter,
Kara
p.s. Voting ends on 1/12 at 8AM EST.
p.p.s. Are you familiar with YouTube #Shorts? They’re short, snappy vertical videos that are 60 seconds or less (similar to TikTok and Instagram). According to YouTube, they’re a great way of expanding one’s audience. And sooooo… in the interest of sharing Laughter Yoga with as many people as possible, it’s time to dive in! I’m going to approach these as quick introductions to people who haven’t yet heard of Laughter Yoga. My first ever #Shorts video will go live this Friday (1/7/22) and you can see it now below. What do you think?

Sound Healing Music Playlist
Each time I create a new Guided Laughter Meditation, Affirmations Mediation or EFT Tapping Laughter Meditation, I compose music to sonically reinforce the message. I integrate sound healing, like brainwave entrainment (binaural beats and monaural beats), for a holistic approach to the meditative experience. In doing so, a collection of instrumentals has accumulated. These can be utilized for meditation, yoga, studying, focusing on work, or relaxation.
3 Options to Hear Meditation Music
- YouTube: Here is a constantly growing Meditation Music Playlist that includes each instrumental as it’s released.
- Patreon: When you support this project on Patreon, you get instant access to download all audio releases, including the instrumental meditation music.
