Laugh for your life!

Laughing is the best medicine

Do you think when you are ill you don’t have anything to laugh? Or do you even think that laughing could hamper your illness?

Haven’t you heard about the healing effects of laughter?! Then you should really read what Anne Orchard wrote about this:

“When cancer has befallen a member of your family, it is wise to keep in mind, “What I Focus (http://www.justtopnotch.com/en/focussinggoals.shtml) On Expands”, and so it is with our attitude to life. A light-hearted, positive attitude in a family with cancer (even amongst the sadness you are feeling) will bring good things into your life. A dear friend once gave me a card with the saying “Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly”. What a lovely thought.
Although dealing with a ‘serious’ time in your life, you can do so without getting too heavy about it. This is a healthy way to view cancer in the family. Just because something challenging is happening in your life; that is no reason to stop having fun. Quite the opposite, in fact. You need intense doses of fun and pleasant activities, to offset any negative feelings about your loved one’s cancer.
Cathy Goodman, whose recuperation from breast cancer was featured in The Secret, had a three part healing process: belief that she was healed and seeing that as true; gratitude for that healing; and the power of laughter to heal. Cathy and her husband watched videos of funny movies for months. They avoided any kind of bad news, or anything that could cause her stress. Within three months her cancer was gone, with no other treatment. If laughter has the power to heal physically, it certainly can heal emotionally too. It can keep the positive energy going.”

Scientists found out that all disease is due to the fact that the cells are out of ease, they are dis-eased. They also have found that all our problems can be placed under one heading: Seriousness. So we should find a way out of this seriousness and towards relaxation and happiness.

There are many ways to work on this. Laughter is one of the remedies – and it is for FREE.
