Looks normal when the kids run around and laugh like different animals but when the adults do it some people might think its a little silly. When is the last time you got to just laugh and play like a child without self or outside judgement???? I am so grateful for all these new wonderful people I get to play, dance, laugh and sing with. Lets all cultivate joy together!!!!

*I do not support animal testing*
That being said, this was a really good way for me to explain my experience with depression, therefore I would like to discuss it. Having depression is very relatable to this experiment. Depression can feel hopeless like you are drowning in your own mental distress with no sight of when that feeling will end. When you take a laughter yoga class and you experience first hand the shift in your mood, it gives you such a sense of hope. Now when I get depressed instead of feeling hopeless, I feel safe and in control of my life knowing I have the ability to change my mood around with my practice.

During a study at Harvard in the 1950s, Dr. Curt Richter placed rats in a pool of water to test how long they could tread water.

On average they'd give up and sink after 15 minutes.

But right before they gave up due to exhaustion, the researchers would pluck them out, dry them off, let them rest for a few minutes - and put them back in for a second round.

In this second try - how long do you think they lasted?

Remember - they had just swam until failure only a few short minutes ago...

How long do you think?

Another 15 minutes?

10 minutes?

5 minutes?

No!

60 hours!

That's not an error.

That's right! 60 hours of swimming.

The conclusion drawn was that since the rats BELIEVED that they would eventually be rescued, they could push their bodies way past what they previously thought impossible.

I will leave you with this thought:

If hope can cause exhausted rats to swim for that long, what could a belief in yourself and your abilities, do for you?

Remember what you’re capable of. Remember why you’re here. "

Keep swimming.

Laughing Yoga, Saturday, August 27 right after Children Reiki class.

When was the last time you laughed? I mean really laughed: a solid, hearty, belly-jiggling laugh. Chances are, many of us have a hard time remembering. That’s because as adults, we have a lot of things on our to-do lists and laughing out loud is not a common occurrence.

Come join me at Awaken to Health and Light Center for some laughter. Laughter yoga is a modern exercise involving prolonged voluntary laughter. This type of yoga is based on the belief that voluntary laughter provides similar physiological and psychological benefits as spontaneous laughter to cultivate joy, bring out your inner child, and help you let go of daily life stressors. Let your inner child out! This is a fun activity for the whole family. Indoor Event! $20 for adults $10 for kids and teens!
