Benefits of Laughter - Benefits of Yoga Meditation

Benefits of Laughter

1. Laughter relieves stress:
 
Endorphins are a natural stress reliever. Making a point of sharing a laugh with family or friends each day can lessen overall stress.

2. Laughter reduces pain:
 
 Laughing releases natural painkillers in your body. It really is the best medicine.

3. Laughter strengthens relationships:

Laughing helps create and maintain bonds. Laughing with coworkers and new acquaintances insures your relationships will remain positive and enjoyable.

4. Laughter improves breathing:

Laughter empties your lungs of more air than it takes in resulting in a cleansing effect - similar to deep breathing. This is especially helpful for people who are suffering from respiratory ailments, such as asthma.

5. Laughter gives you a mini workout:

We've probably all used, or at least heard, the phrase 'my sides ache' after laughing too much. Well, it's no real surprise. A good belly laugh exercises the diaphragm, contracts your abdominal muscles and also works your shoulders. This helps to relieve tension and can make you feel more relaxed.

6. Laughter boosts your immune system and is free:
 
Researchers have found that laughter actually boosts the immune system, increasing the number of antibody producing T cells. It also lowers the levels of at least four hormones that are associated with stress, so after a good laugh you are bound to be far less stressed.

Laughter like so many activities we are involved in help to relieve stress, loneliness, anxiety. We can sit on the beach at sunset, watch the waves roll in and feel the warmth of the sun in the air, this has a lovely calming, peaceful effect on us, this is very beneficial, helps to relieve stress so this is good. But we know that we are not our physical or subtle bodies, In fact the ancient Yoga txts confirm this. We are spiritual in essence therefore we need something that will nourish us.  Ancient Yoga wisdom tell us that transcendental sound is the solution. Transcendental  sound descends from the higher spiritual realm bringing with it spiritual potency. Often referred to as prayers, meditations, or mantras, these sounds can nourish us spiritually and give us the peace and happiness we are always searching for.

Yoga Breathing Benefits - Yoga Palm Beach

Raise your arms and Inhale

We very rarely pay attention to, or give a second thought to the way we breathe. Yoga practise builds body awareness. We are taught to focus on our breath, become aware of our breath, regulate our breath and so on. As you know we can't live without breathing, not for very long at least. We can live without food or water for a few days, BUT air ... I'm afraid we need it to live.  How we breathe can have a huge impact on our life and your health. Medical studies have shown that the simple act of deep breathing can have significant health benefits. 

If we simply take a few moments to breathe deeply we can really improve our health:

Slow deep breathing helps reduce tension - If you find you are super stressed, take a break, take time out  and breath. Try 10 very slow deep breaths. You will quickly feel more relaxed. Deep breathing supplies the body with the oxygen we need to function. Slow deep breathing will infuse your body with oxygen, you will feel revitalised, less stressed and allot calmer.

Slow deep breathing helps reduce pain - Expectant mothers go to classes to learn breathing techniques to cope with the pain of giving birth. The midwives or doctors tell the soon to be 'mums' to slow the breathe down at certain times during their labour as this helps to focus, reduces pain, and helps with delivery. When you take deep breaths your body releases endorphins. Endorphins are your body's way of fighting pain.
