Laugh Untill it
Helps!
 While working with Hurricane Katrina
victims, as a hospital chaplain, I was
struck by the quick turn-around by one patient,
when he suddenly found something to laugh about.
He lost
everything he owned and after a week of
reflection he was reminded of an old George
Carlin comedy bit on "Stuff." We both laughed in
his hospital room as we recounted
Carlin's comedy bit.
 I was amazed by the emotional and
physical healing that took place for him
after that unscheduled session of comedy, humor,
and laughter.
That
encounter set me off on a two year study of the
dynamics of humor and laughter and its place in
our emotional, physical, and spiritual well
being.
In that
process, I discovered medical research and
therapeutic practices of laughter that go
beyond entertainment. I learned that
laughter helps us break down communication
barriers, it fosters teamwork, it builds
employee morale, it increases mental
attentiveness, promotes open interaction, it
decreases stress hormones, improves the immune
system, it boosts good endorphins, it aids
in better breathing and it just plain old makes
us feel good!
In September 2007 I became a
Certified Laughter
Leader and began leading therapeutic laughter
programs and giving speaking
presentations for businesses,
healthcare, and organizations searching for fun
stress relief and morale building
programs!
So, if you want to bring the
vast benefits of joy, through laughter to
your corporate function, church, youth ministry,
marriage retreat, manager retreat, clergy
meetings, Sunday school, men's ministry, or
business, contact
me !
 Laugh more,
stress less, live better, and lead
further!
