Play is not frivolous.

 

It is critical to bonding with others.

 

It also helps us to solve problems.

 

Isabel Behncke Izquierdo studies the social behavior of primates in Congo.

 

She explored how the play of adult bonobos can offer insights into human laughter.

 

Play opens us up to creativity and our capacity for wonder and exploration.

 

Her talk shows us may be critically important for us to relearn how to play more.

 

In order to begin unravelling conflict. Not just in our personal lives, but also globally.

 

I am reminded of US President Ronald Reagan playfulness saving the day with Soviet President Gorbachev.

 

On their initial meeting in Iceland, you could have cut the tension with a knife.

 

They had been introduced, but Reagan, sensing the stress, smiled and said, let’s start over again.

 

My name is Ronald Reagan…

 

Smiles all around. His playfulness eased the tension and they had productive talks as a result. They connected on a human level.

 

We do this in Laughter Yoga. We focus on allowing our inner 6-year old to come out and play.

 

When that happens, joy permeated the room and we feel little defensiveness. Instead we connect with others more deeply and see them as potential friends.

 

It is the play that does it. Along with laughter and smiles.

Knowledge of the Hidden Cause of:

 

Overweight, cancer, herniated disc, migraine headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, backache, acid reflux, pinched nerves, scoliosis…

 

These a few of the conditions that Dr. John Sarno’s discovery has healed.

 

Note that I said his discovery has healed, not him.

 

Some have healed long-standing conditions just by reading one of his books.

 

Dr. Sarno’s work has uncovered the one cause of many dis-eases.

 

That one cause is…

 

The subconscious mind.

 

Specifically, the anger, rage, emotional pain and sadness hidden below the surface.

 

One of the keys to this is that the rage, pain and sadness is hidden away in what Freud called the “id.” That is the very basic survival part of us.

 

The id cares not for anything or anyone else, but itself.

 

It is the part of us that is responsible for survival. And it is focuses on that and that alone.

 

The other note is that it is hidden from us. Our conscious minds do not have access to it. We do not know its inner workings.

 

Our conscious mind, what we can call the “ego,” works at protecting us from the turmoil in the id.

 

The ego prevents the rage, pain and sadness from surfacing in order to protect us.

 

The ego creates pain in our bodies to distract us from the rage surfacing.

 

That, says Dr. Sarno, is where the dis-eases come from.

 

All those conditions be what they may: itchy skin, TMJ, tennis elbow, tight muscles, back pain and the whole host of ills we are prey to.

 

Dr. Sarno’s “prescription” is to understand the process.

 

The good doctor says none of us survive childhood without bumps, bruises and trauma.

 

We are trained to keep those traumas at bay. Not allowing them to surface.

 

They build up. Eventually they surface as “conditions” or dis-eases.

 

We then take action to put down the symptoms.

 

Surgery for herniated disc for example.

 

Dr. Sarno says the treatment is temporary. Many times he has seen another condition show up in the body following treatment of symptoms.

 

He has treated thousands successfully.

 

The basic idea is to get in touch with what caused the condition in the first place. By understanding the cause, it seems like a lightbulb goes on. Thousands have found their symptoms reduce dramatically and often disappear entirely.

Bruno Groening’s ideas are healing people today of supposedly incurable conditions…Thoughts are spiritual forces which come to us. It is up to us to choose positive thoughts and separate out our negative thoughts. Our feelings will be positive when we focus on positive thoughts.

 

Health is a matter of completely separating yourself from all negativity and keeping the good happy and orderly.
