Laugh Pact: Go to it LAUGHING

2021 2-25 Laugh Pact QuoteDear Laugh Pact Friends,

You know those times when so much is going on it’s like… dude… WHOA.

Sometimes those times are great times because things you hoped would happen are happening… but they happen to be happening all at once.

This could be a BIG source of stress.

Or… we could choose to “go to it laughing.”

Let’s do that! This Laugh Pact will help. There’s so much going on in the Laughter Yoga world… here are some of the shiny gems for you. I hope you enjoy these selections!

Take care & LAUGH ON!

Laughing with Molly: Sunday, March 7 at 2 PM Central Time / FREE
Molly’s Laughter Yoga Sessions happen the first Sunday of each month via Zoom.

In Laughter Yoga, we choose to laugh – not because anything is particularly funny – but just because we can. We accomplish this through a series of simple exercises (clapping, breathing, affirmations, and laughter) that will leave you feeling great, thanks to the D.O.S.E. of dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins we generate!

The sessions last about 30 minutes.

Laugh Pact: Cultivating Happiness

2021 2-11 Laugh Pact QuoteDear Laugh Pact Friends,

Have you been laughing more? I found this wonderful quote in Jagat Singh Bisht’s new book “Cultivating Happiness: A Guide to Practices that Do Wonders.” In the book, Jagat outlines “twelve sets of proven practices that are known to bring health, happiness and peace.” Jagat and his wife Radhika are Certified Laughter Yoga Master Trainers, so you KNOW that Laughter Yoga is one of the twelve practices. They are also the founders of LifeSkills, have an inspiring YouTube channel AND are delightful people. I’m totally looking forward to reading this book!

This newsletter is FULL of awesome events to check out. One that I’m personally excited about is Sunday’s Open House with the brand NEW Rwanda International School of Laughter Yoga and Community Resilience. Three awesome and enthusiastic Laughter Yogis, Erneste Rukinga, Judith Croner-Small and Duncan Cook, are teaming up to offer online Zoom trainings: Basic Learning Course & Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Course. Get the details below!

What else is up? Hmmmm… lots of laughter!!!

Please take care & LAUGH ON!

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
