 What is your cost?

 

First, you will need to invest a weekend. We are talking about changing the habits of a lifetime. You can’t do that in one hour. What you can do in one weekend is familiarize yourself with the simple tools and techniques to insert new and powerful habits in place of habits that may not be serving you anymore.

 

Your second investment is $397. You will pay more for a flat screen TV. The purchase of a TV will give you a thrill that many think of as happiness. But how long does it last until it becomes “just part of the furniture?”

 

In fact, our consumer society has us chasing all kinds of things to buy that are supposed to make us happy. How much is the “latte habit” costing you? I don’t buy them so I am guessing they run $4.00. Multiply by 5 days a week and 52 weeks a year and you are spending $1040 a year on something that promises happiness. We know that there is zero nutritional value in a latte, yet we justify it with something like this: “It’s my little treat. I work hard, with my nose to the grindstone and it helps me get through the day.”

 

Instead, why not create a life that is blissful, joyous and happy. That way, we can throw out our crutches, one by one.

 

Tell me: How much money can we save each and every year if we did not need to buy “stuff’ to make ourselves feel good?

 

“Shop till you drop” seems to be the mantra to chase after that good feeling.

 

How about just turning on the “Joy Key” whenever you want and saving hundreds on each shopping trip? Doesn’t that sound like a better strategy?

 

Look, there is nothing wrong with having “stuff.” In fact, you deserve to have pleasant surroundings. AND, this is one of the great secrets of the Universe:

 

It’s Easier To Be Successful And Get The “Stuff” You Want When You’re Happy First!

About your instructor:

 

Matti Anttila CLYT (Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher)is the author of “The Zen of Joy” and “108 Tips for More Joy, Energy and Health.”

 

Background:

“Life is a grand adventure or it’s nothing.” -Helen Keller

 

Long before I read that quote, I decided not to go a traditional route.

 

Working hard to age 65, retiring exhausted and then dying shortly thereafter was not an appealing career path.

 

Thus, I pursued a number of opportunities as they came up: Promoting rock and roll performances, driving taxi, Disc Jockey, radio reporter and talk show host.

 

I have owned a bakery and restaurant, been a financial planner, baby photographer and most recently a consultant.

 

My most passionate interest is in health, fitness, longevity and human potential.

 

It seems many of us humans only realize a small portion of our full potential.

 

Hence, Laughter Yoga, which can help to free us of many of the blocks to creativity and our potential.

 

Studies: Judo, Kung Fu, Tae Kwon Do, meditation, massage, dancing, Ashtanga Yoga, herbology, VitaFlex, Aikido, Rebirthing, Reiki, singing, Tai Chi, Qigong, natural healing, 4 Minute Fitness, Laughter Yoga, Hot Yoga, The Presence Process, Ho’Oponopono and Huna.

 

 

 

What Laughter Yoga Leaders said about Matti’s Certified Laughter Yoga Leaders training:

 

“Awesome, fun, energetic. All the happy things that go with laughter.” – Gina Davis. Victoria, BC.

 

“Great energy. Useful repetition. Small group helpful. A truly unique and enriching experience.” -Jeremy Bally, Victoria, BC.

 

“Made me feel +++ alive. Team building. Creates ++ inner power. Rejuvenating +++.” -Taryn Andersen, Victoria, BC.

 

“I have been inspired by Matti to start a laugh Yoga club and continue spreading laughter & love through the world. Love, Tickles.”

-Jennifer Burke, aka “Tickles, the Clown.” Victoria, BC, Canada.

 

“This was a great & magnificent weekend. I’m sad the weekend went by so quickly.

 

Matti has inspired me to start my own laughter club so I may spread laughter and the joy of being.

 

Matti has strong leadership skills and knows how to lead sessions in a productive & organized fashion. He is knowledgeable in the material and is a great instructor.

 

Thank you so much, Matti! …

 

Thank you again for an enjoyable and fun weekend. I learned so much from you and really enjoyed your passion and method of delivering the teachings to our group… I also want to thank you for helping me feel comfortable and teaching me a new way of learning by using ‘motion.’

That was very powerful to me this weekend. By moving around, I felt super connected to my body and was able to present from the heart. What a great experience!

Thanks again for an unforgettable weekend! Laughingly yours,

Natalia” – Natalia Burns, Victoria, BC, Canada

 

“AMAZING! Thank you thank you thank you Matti for your warmth, openness and for sharing your wealth of knowledge! It’s been a pleasure!”

– Kathleen Potter, Victoria, BC, Canada.

 

 

What Laughter Yoga Participants said about Matti as a Laughter Leader:

 

“It was a wonderful experience! I loved it!” – Barb Davis, Calgary, Alberta.

 

“Laughter Yoga is an immeasurable avenue of emotional release.” – Elizabeth, Duncan, BC.

 

“A lot of times we are so concerned about how we look or how others perceive us but in laughter yoga you laugh off your inhibitions and relax. At first I was apprehensive but soon I was laughing away.” -Kaitlyn Lande. Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan.

 

“I found the best way for me to laugh hard was listen to other people genuinely laughing, and so a group of people laughing was the best place for me to laugh! Thank you.” – Duncan Brown. Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan.

 

“I heard of Laugh Yoga before. I always say it was silly. But when I actually did it I found out it is really good for you. I didn’t really expect that if had that kind of reaction to me. It was awesome.” – Rey Hermoso. Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan.

 

“Laughter Yoga has affirmed by belief that laughter can heal; it is a comfort to the soul and can change your world if you choose to look at with different eyes and engage your innate sense of humour. It has inspired me to try laughing at my most trying moments.” -Lindsay Korns. Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan.

 

“Laughter Yoga has inspired me to try and laugh more after daily situations that may normally make me feel frustrated. After the session I felt rejuvenated, light, content, balanced and at peace with myself. I hope to remember this experience and use what I learned to increase my general level of happiness.   – Katie Thompson. Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan.

 

“This experience made me feel so connected to my body and emotions as well as all the people around me. I felt energized, joyful, and positive at the end of the session. I would love to do this again! –Michelle Leach. Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan.

 

“After one session of Laughter Yoga I felt grounded, inspired and emotionally at ease. Everyone should take the time to laugh and there are few better ways to do so than with Laughter Yoga.” -Dave Hall. Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan.

 

“Hahaha! Laughter Yoga is wild energy full of many emotions! I’ve never really experienced yoga to this degree of connectedness with my community. I felt very balanced and happy, my spirits were flying, my soul was at peace, and my belly hurt with happy pains. Thank you for sharing laughs, smiles.” –Navi Bhatti. Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan. P.S. I’m also interested in the leader training.

A Note re the “cost” of Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Training.

Your investment is $397. Be an “early bird.” $50 discount if registered by March 12th, 2016.

Should you choose to pursue Laughter Yoga as a part time business, You may soon recover that.

Certified Laughter Yoga Leaders will often have a non profit club. In my club, I tell participants that Laughter Yoga is free or by donation. There is no requirement to pay as we don’t want anyone to stay away because of financial concerns.

I also say the suggested donation is $5 to $15. I average about $7 per person as a result.

Last week, $70 in donations were made.

And that is just the donation non profit side of Laughter Yoga.

If you go out and get paid engagements, that is a different story.

My corporate rate is $550.00 an hour and the non profit rate is $180.00 an hour. These rates are negotiable, of course, but it is always wise to start the negotiations at a decent rate for yourself.

Even if you do a few non profits, they will often have SOMETHING in the kitty for speakers. I have done session for free (rarely) and as a little as $90. More often it is the $180 rate.

Once, I did 3 one hour session in one day for an educational institution at $250 for each session. That was a $750.00 day.

So, what is called a “cost,” is really an investment in your future. An investment that can pay high dividends.

I used to be a financial advisor. If you have a financial investment, a decent dividend is 3-5%, somewhat higher for riskier situations. On $397, that would be $11.91 to $19.85 per year.

With a Certified Laughter Yoga designation and an entrepreneurial approach, you can choose to create an ongoing business that can produce hundreds of percent return on your initial outlay.

Look forward to meeting you soon.

Love and Laughter, Matti

This Myth Can be Dangerous to Your Health. Mastery Newsletter February 22, 2016

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

The Myth That You Don’t Need Supplements

 

This Documentary can be viewed online, without cost, but only until February 26th.

 

I viewed it last night. It is very good and may well help to increase your joy, energy and health.

 

I believe when we open up to our potential the world changes, dramatically and for the better. We can experience more joy, abundant energy and vibrant health and strength.

 

Enjoy the viewing.

 

First, some words from Dr. Mercola:

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That Vitamin Movie,” created by award-winning producer and director Michael Beattie, features a long list of vitamin experts and health professionals in the complementary medicine field — including yours truly — discussing the healing potential of vitamins.

 

Beattie was inspired to make this film after Trevor, a close friend of three decades, told him he’d turned his life around; finally getting a handle on the depression that had plagued him. Removing sugar from his diet was the first step. Taking niacin (vitamin B3), was the second.

 

This tip was something Trevor had gleaned from watching the film, “Food Matters,” in which Andrew Saul, Ph.D. talks about the usefulness of niacin in the treatment of depression.

 

His curiosity peaked, Beattie then heard about cases of people being brought back from the brink of death with the use of high-dose vitamin C, and how many chronic diseases appear to be outgrowths of various nutrient deficiencies.

 

But if vitamins are so effective for treating disease, including mental disorders like depression, why aren’t doctors prescribing them instead of drugs? Together with Trevor, Beattie set out to investigate the truth of the matter. -Dr. Mercola

How Much Hidden Potential Are We Missing Out On? Mastery Newsletter February 24, 2016

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

How About Fighting Off Almost All Diseases With Your Mind?

Staying warm in shorts in sub zero weather?

 

– The “Iceman” can sit in ice and keep his skin temperature constant

 

– This skill may prevent most diseases

 

– This evolutionary potential is in every human body

 

– We may have to rewrite the medical texts

 

The “Iceman”

That’s the nickname given to Wim Hof for his daredevil feats with cold

 

He has:

 

– Run a marathon barefoot and in shorts in minus 20 degrees Celsius,

 

– Climbed part way up Mount Everest wearing only boots and shorts.

 

– Set a Guinness World Record for sitting in ice for one hour, 52 minutes and 42 seconds…while his core temperature stayed the same.

 

 

 

Sitting in a tank full of ice for 90 minutes

Core Temperature remains the same

 

From Wikipedia:

 

” On 19 April 2012, an episode of the US television program Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files, featuring Hof, was broadcast.

 

Hof was tested against a member of the team named Austin, both sitting in a tank full of ice. Austin sat in the tank for about 20 minutes, with his surface body temperature falling to four degrees Celsius.

 

When he got out of the water, the other two team members used a heat camera to reveal that his surface body temperature was at about four degrees Celsius.

 

Hof’s core body temperature stayed the same for the entire twenty minutes, as did his heart rate. He managed to stay submerged for over ninety minutes.” (My bolding)

 

 

 

 

We all have his ability, according to Hof

 

He thinks he has stumbled on hidden evolutionary potential locked inside every human body. He is teaching others how to do what he does.

 

 

 

 

Documentary shows the training

 

Inside the Superhuman World of the Iceman

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaMjhwFE1Zw

 

 

 

 

 

Will We Have to Rewrite the Medical Texts?

 

Not just about daredevil stunts. This is about rewriting the medical books about what our human potential really is.

 

 

“Almost all the diseases, we are able to learn to prevent them from developing inside the body. Because we are able to have a connection inside which goes far deeper than ever thought…everybody is able…to have power over his own system.”                                                                                              -Wim Hof

 

 

 

Love, Laughter and Smiles

 

Matti

A Great Secret to Happiness: Help Others. Mastery Newsletter February 17, 2016

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

Here is a way to expand helping and create empowerment, joy and happiness in others…and yourself.

 

It has the added benefit of being inexpensive.

 

It is called Kiva, an organization that allows us in the developed world to make micro-loans to small scale entrepreneurs in many parts of the world.

 

You don’t actually give money away, you loan it and get repaid.

 

I have been doing this for a few years now. It feels good to know someone is lifting themselves up by their own bootstraps. All I do is provide some mini-capital to get their business moving.

 

They call it “Beyond Charity: Rethinking How We Give.”

 

Details here: https://www.kiva.org/about

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
“We are a non-profit organization with a mission to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty. Leveraging the internet and a worldwide network of microfinance institutions, Kiva lets individuals lend as little as $25 to help create opportunity around the world. Learn more about how it works.

 

Since Kiva was founded in 2005:

 

1,387,615 Kiva lenders

$813,711,525 in loans

98.39% repayment rate

 

We work with:

 

303 Field Partners

450 volunteers around the world

84 different countries

 

Why we do what we do

 

We envision a world where all people – even in the most remote areas of the globe – hold the power to create opportunity for themselves and others.

 

We believe providing safe, affordable access to capital to those in need helps people create better lives for themselves and their families.

How we do it

 

Making a loan on Kiva is so simple that you may not realize how much work goes on behind the scenes.

 

Kiva works with microfinance institutions on five continents to provide loans to people without access to traditional banking systems. One hundred percent of your loan is sent to these microfinance institutions, which we call Field Partners, who administer the loans in the field.

 

Kiva relies on a world wide network of over 450 volunteers who work with our Field Partners, edit and translate borrower stories, and ensure the smooth operation of countless other Kiva programs.

 

How we’re funded

 

100% of every dollar you lend on Kiva goes directly towards funding loans; Kiva does not take a cut. Furthermore, Kiva does not charge interest to our Field Partners, who administer the loans.

 

Kiva is primarily funded through the support of lenders making optional donations. We also raise funds through grants, corporate sponsors, and foundations.

 

We are incredibly thankful for the support that has enabled us to do the work that has touched the lives of so many people.

 

Learn more about our partnerships or make a donation.

Do you need a “Health Coach?” Mastery Newsletter Feb. 10, 2016

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

Life coaches are popular these days…seems there are many of them to choose from.

 

But what about a Health Coach?

-Naturopaths have all the training that your General Practitioner has and more on top of that.

-Toxic food like sugar can FEEL good because of the adrenaline the body produces when it recognizes a toxin entering the system.

-Even top athletes have coaches

-A naturopath, like a sport coach, can often see what we are too close to see ourselves.

 

I decided I needed one, so I interviewed a few naturopaths.

 

Now, I had some experience with naturopaths before. When I had NSU (Non Specific Urethritis) it was a naturopath who helped me.

 

NSU is an inflammation of the water works…the urethra. I had it for 7 years. The symptoms would pop up every year and every year I went to a doctor.

 

On the seventh time, I asked what is this thing that keeps coming back. The answer from my doctor at the time was: “We think it is one of 7 different viruses. We’re not sure. Just come back every year for your antibiotic.

 

Hmph.

 

That did not seem like any kind of long term solution to me. What? You don’t know what it is? Just resign myself to having it and getting antibiotics every year?

 

That’s when I went to see Dr. Kirkbride in Nanaimo. He gave me some electric heat treatment and a herbal tea to drink. He diagnosed it as a “touch of nephritis.” That is inflammation of the kidneys.

 

It took some weeks, but the symptoms went away AND NEVER CAME BACK!

 

This was an ah hah moment. So regular medical system doctors don’t know everything, eh? Interest.

 

This event initiated a multi-decade and life long study of the many aspects of health.

 

It’s been a wonderful journey, with lots of dead-ends along with lots more ah-hah moments. And always with more to learn.

 

And even more to unlearn. So much of what is thought of as common sense, often I have found the opposite to be true.

 

Here is one example and it is a tricky one to navigate.

 

Some times I hear someone say things like: I just pay attention to my body. It gives me feedback.

 

That seems to make sense, doesn’t it?

 

Here’s the problem. If we take in toxins, sometimes it feels good.

 

The process goes something like this. Sugar is a good example. White sugar is a pure chemical C12 H22 O11. Pure chemical, not a food.

 

The history of sugar as outlined in William Dufty’s landmark work SUGAR BLUES from the 1970s. One thousand years ago, Arab doctor would use sugar as the most powerful medicine of last resort. When all else failed to cure a disease, they would administer 2-3 GRAINS of sugar and the patient would rally.

 

2-3 grains!

 

How much do we consume now? Well it used to be around a hundred pounds a year per capita 100 years ago. With the advent of the Big Gulp, we are now around 150 pounds per person per year.

 

How many grains of this powerful drug are we taking? Make no mistake. It IS a drug and a very potent one.

 

There is lots of research showing its detrimental effects. I am sure you have seen some of that…including the obesity epidemic and the cancer epidemic…for cancer feeds of sugar.

 

We know that intellectually. We know sugar is no good for us, yet we continue to take it.

 

Number one…it is addictive because it lands in the same landing spots in the brain as heroin.

 

But…and this is the point of why we need to careful about “paying attention to my body…

 

When a foreign substance of any sort, like sugar, enters the body, the body, in its wisdom, recognizes it as a toxin and sends what are called macrophages to attach, encircle and eliminate it from the body.

 

So far, so good? Well yes, EXCEPT during the process of the creation of macrophages, the body also produces adrenalin!

 

And what does adrenalin do? Among other things it makes us feel good. We have energy coursing through our system. Of course we feel good.

 

So, we take in a toxin, our body’s macrophages attack the toxin, we get a shot of adrenalin and we feel good. So, we make the conclusion that the toxin is good for us.

 

Can you see how our mind can be tricked in this way?

 

This is where a health coach can come in and give us unbiased and researched information.

 

I, for one, know about this, yet have still been consuming too much sugar.

 

My new health coach is a naturopath, Dr. Kevin Jackson. He is giving me info that I may have on the fringes of my thoughts. He is holding it in front of my face and encouraging me to take action that will have long term health benefits.

 

Naturopaths, by the way, have gone through the same medical training as allopathic doctors. They have the same rigorous training for the same number of years. Then they study further to see how to use non-invasive agents and therapies to produce a more healthful, energetic and vibrant result for their clients, without the use of toxic drugs.

 

Look, even the best athletes have coaches. Tiger Woods has a coach.

 

Why would we not want to do the same? Our long term health is the beneficiary.
