Intimate Laughter: Building Community Through the Joy of Laughing. Mastery Newsletter October 26, 2016

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

Seven of us are laying on the floor laughing.

 

Some are holding their sides. We appear to be out of control.

 

And in a sense, we are. We are in the “meditation” stage of a one-hour Laughter Yoga session.

 

This one hour is in itself a part of a two-day weekend Certified Laughter Yoga Leader training.

 

I am privileged to be the teacher. But as in any weekend seminar, all of us are learning.

 

So much joy, ideas, sharing and yes, lots of laughter.

 

The training is to prepare new inductees into the great pleasures of leading Laughter Yoga clubs in laughter sessions.

 

We drill the basics. Dr. Madan Kataria, the founder of Laughter Yoga, asks that we leaders note the 5 principles and show the 4 parts of Laughter Yoga.

 

The great comic Victor Borge is famously quoted as saying “Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.”

 

Guess what? A few hours into the first day, someone comments how it feels like family in a short time of laughing together. We are living proof of Borge’s contention.

 

Is this an ideal way to build community?

 

Laughter may be the most intimate thing we can do with other humans.

 

Think about it. When you laugh near me, I hear the laughter not only through my ears.

 

Sound vibrations hit my whole body and all my cells vibrate to that joyous sound.

 

That joy is what can create a sense of closeness. It is what can allow us to feel we are family.

 

Do you think we can help to solve differences when we are feeling a sense of closeness?

 

Are you up for experimentation? You could try out a Laughter Yoga session near you.

 

If you have no clubs in your area, feel free to jump on my site and laugh along with me for 10 minutes with my laughter video. You find it here: http://joyenergyandhealth.com

Linchpin: How to be Indispensable. Mastery Newsletter October 19, 2016

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

It’s not rocket science. Do what others are not willing to do. Do more to help others.

 

In your job, whatever it is, find ways to create value for your employer. So much value that you stand out.

 

In your relationships, go overboard. Give of yourself from the heart.

 

If you have a business, give so much value up front for free that you create a tsunami of good feeling toward you.

 

Serial entrepreneur Seth Godin write of this in his book Linchpin. Are You Indispensable?

 

“This is what the future of work (and the world) looks like. Actually, it’s already happening around you.” -Tony Hsieh, CEO, Zappos.com

 

In bestsellers such as Purple Cow and Tribes, Seth Godin taught readers how to make remarkable products and spread powerful ideas. But this book is about you-your choices, your future, and your potential to make a huge difference in whatever field you choose.

 

There used to be two teams in every workplace: management and labor. Now there’s a third team, the linchpins. These people figure out what to do when there’s no rule book. They delight and challenge their customers and peers. They love their work, pour their best selves into it, and turn each day into a kind of art.

 

Linchpins are the essential building blocks of great organizations. They may not be famous but they’re indispensable. And in today’s world, they get the best jobs and the most freedom.

 

As Godin writes, “Every day I meet people who have so much to give but have been bullied enough or frightened enough to hold it back. It’s time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map. You have brilliance in you, your contribution is essential, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do it, and you must.”

Seems to me, we have to recognize that we have been bullied.

 

Godin says when we are, we retreat to our reptilian brain. This is the part of the brain responsible for survival, fight or flight.

 

It is key to find a way to drop the fear and anxiety so that we can move from the reptilian brain to the higher brain and also our hearts.

 

From our hearts, we can feel the connection to others, serve them and become indispensable. Not just in our jobs, our businesses, but also our relationships.

 

Being indispensable creates value for others and builds our self-esteem.

 

Can you find a way to use laughter, smiling, exercise, breathing and/or meditation to give more from the heart?

 

 

To Your Joy, Energy and Health,

More Joy and Energy Than They Thought Possible. Mastery Newsletter October 12, 2016

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

1,000s of Laughter Yoga Leaders Now Have More Joy and Energy Than They Thought Possible

(Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Training October 22nd and 23rd)

Laughter, Smiles, Joy and Lots of Energy. 

These are what Certified Laughter Yoga Leaders around the world have found.

 

Two Great Secrets:

  1. Laughter Feels Good.Not much of a secret, but…

When we laugh without the aid of jokes, our bodies still produce the “feel good” hormones.

Studies show we can relieve symptoms of many conditions. Even cancer patients have reduced pain and touched joy again.

(Read online: https://victorialaughteryogaclub.wordpress.com/2016/09/20/1000s-of-laughter-yoga-leaders-now-have-more-joy-and-energy-than-they-thought-possible )

  1. Helping Others Creates More Joy

Leading Laughter Yoga sessions creates even more joy, because…

Helping others get in touch with their “Inner Spirit of Laughter” creates immense joy in us.

One of the greatest secrets of life is helping others is a shortcut to our own happiness and joy.

Now, you too can experience the delight of turning on the feel-good factor in others.

 

Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Training 

Saturday and Sunday, October 22nd and 23rd, 2016. 9am to 5pm

 

My name is Matti Anttila. I am a Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher.

I had financial and family challenges (like many of us do). My anger kept coming to the surface. I don’t imagine I was all that much fun to be around.

After a few weeks of coming to Laughter Yoga sessions, the anger passed.

Dr. Madan Kataria is the founder of Laughter Yoga. I asked him about this anger.

He explained that in India, when there is a death, family members cry and wail and let out the grief. In our western society, we tend to hold it in.

And where we hold it in is the diaphragm. By exercising the diaphragm in Laughter Yoga, those “trapped emotions” released. After a few weeks, no more anger the day after a laughter session.

Not only that, other “avenues to joy” opened up.

 

Got in Touch with Intuition

Not to be taken lightly. Intuition can keep us away from danger at times.

Intuition also can lead us to opportunities.

Intuition can help solve sticky problems. I can’t count the number of times my intuition came to my rescue.  “Elegant solutions to knotty challenges” just bubbled up from some unknown depth within me. This all since my Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher training.

 

More Energy

Yes I still get colds and such. However, at age 69, my energy is nothing short of cool. When I go to visit my friend with MS on Friday nights, I “float” up four flights of stairs. And it is a joy. (There is no joy in elevators.)

Sidebar: “Floating up stairs” is a skill set. I can teach it to you if you want.

 

Relieve Stress

Stress is actually a good thing. The “fight or flight” hormones exist to protect us from danger. They are useful when we need to face up to a challenge or flee from danger.

Stress hormones become our enemy when they are always present. And that is where many of us find ourselves in the modern world.

Laughter Yoga is a safe, effective and fun way to release stress. Laughter actually puts us in the same state as meditation. It’s a delightful way to get into “state” and release the production of cortisol and such.

 

Giving is THE secret

When we give from the heart with no expectation of return, that is when we feel truly blessed.

Helping others is another way of putting it.

There is a deep joy, satisfaction and warmth we feel when we help others. This is where Laughter Yoga Leading comes in.

As a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader, you will be able to help others “tune in” to their inner joy.

You will help them “plug in” to a deep well of energy.

In the process, you get more energy and joy. It is a virtuous cycle. The more you give, the more energy you have to give more.

Learn how to jump on this virtuous cycle of more joy and more energy:

P.S. About your course fee. Those who have trained with me got value. See the testimonials below.

Secondly, when you create your own non-profit club, you may be able to recover your fee in short order.

When I started as a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader, I recovered my fee in a a few months. Laughter Yoga Clubs are non-profit. They are usually free or by donation. I suggested a donation of $5- $15. (Compare that to Yoga classes which can run up to $20 per session or more).

Further, if you choose to make Laughter Yoga a business, you can create an ongoing income.

I have had numerous paid sessions with businesses and with non-profits. Vancouver Island University once paid me $750 for three sessions in one day.

At any rate, it’s hard to put a dollar value on the increased level of joy and energy, not to mention health.

Laughter helps to modulate the immune function. Imagine fewer days off this “flu season.”  🙂

About me:

Matti Anttila CLYT (Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher)is the author of “The Zen of Joy” http://zenofjoy.com  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, Four 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 Yoga 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.

Have you ever said ‘yes’ when you really wanted to say ‘no’?

 

That’s an example of abandoning yourself. Repeatedly abandoning oneself can evoke feelings such as grief, loss, rage and despair. The good news is learning how to reverse this pattern is possible.

 

If this speaks to you, come to an experiential weekend workshop Oct. 29 & 30 to explore these concepts.

Laughter is a “Gateway Drug.” Mastery Newsletter October 5, 2016

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

Just like some drugs are a gateway to other drugs.

Laughter can lead to other things as well.

Laughter led me to explore other “feel good” practices.

These include smiling more, breathing techniques and improving my posture.

With daily joy, I am more productive in my work. I also enjoy it more.

I am more energetic. My health is improving.

I am slowly undoing trauma in my body.

Because of laughter, I wrote a manual of 24 practices I do to build my joy every day. (The Zen of Joy)

Because of laughter, I joined Toastmasters and am improving my public speaking skills.

Because of laughter, I am improving my relationships.

Because of laughter, I discovered how wonderful giving is.

Helping others is a joyous affair. It is one of the great and largely unheralded treasures in life.

I lead seminars now training and certifying Laughter Yoga Leaders.

That is a great joy, seeing others empower themselves with laughter and learning to lead Laughter Yoga sessions.

I write more and share ideas with others on social media and to my list of subscribers.

I am doing the Iceman course by Wim Hof.

Talk about powerful “drugs.” That course at least doubled my energy level almost overnight.

I am meditating daily and studying it more intensely.

In short, doing Laughter Yoga weekly at first and eventually daily, is opening up vast vistas of personal development.

That sounds a little high-falutin’, but there you have it.

It feels like that.

Having just turned age 70, I am more positive, hopeful and inspired than ever in my life.

Looking forward to contributing more and more and reaping the rewards of giving.

How about you?

Are you laughing for at least an hour weekly and at least 10 minutes daily?

Who knows what treasures lay in store for you?

It is different for each of us.

We all have great joy, energy and health.

How can we tap into it?

If you sense you are not yet living up to your full potential, why not try Laughter Yoga?

To Your Joy, Energy and Health,

Vancouver is listed as the least affordable real estate market in the world.
