"The laughter of joy, unlike the laughter of amusement,
is in full harmony with the inner life "
Lewis Carroll
The laughter of joy, as Lewis caroll said comes from the inside; we do not control it
It literally explodes in us and reflects our inner state
As you may know, there are now laughters workshops, laughter yoga
These activities have arisen because most of us apparently do not laugh enough.
We all can feel instinctively that laughter makes us feel good;
Can you remember how well you're after a giggle, even unexplained!
After a good laugh, we feel liberated, drained, slightly offbeat, Like coming back from another planet on which we would have stayed longer!
Laughter is the human specificity as Rabelais said, it is indispensable to both our mental and physical wellbeing
Very concretely, laughter has many beneficial effects on our body. At a biological level it would trigger the secretion of endorphins, hormone of happiness and well-being, close to morphine, which explains this state of well being;
It would also stimulate many organs; when we laugh the diaphragm contracts rapidly and regularly.
Many muscles vibrate, contract and relax, which would massage and relieve body tensions.
Another positive element is that when we laugh, the secretion of saliva inceases and digestive functions thereby improving digestion.
But the benefits of laughter does not stop there! Laughter expands the lungs three times more than they are normally, which increases blood oxygenation, decreases blood pressure and maintains cardiac activity.
Quite nice , isn't ? But that's not all !
Laughter increases concentration, alertness, precisely because laughter allows us to relax and let go
You may have already seen a baby laughing ? Because laughter comes first, it precedes the words, it makes us perfect communicators. Contagiousness guaranteed!
Laughter and humor, whatever their form and type, they have the same functions; they create a link between people, generating well-being, relaxation, happiness, sharing, fun
Laughter, humor, are the perfect tools to dedramatise, analyse an event. The distance they offer, the detachment that we gain to open our eyes a more neutral situation and therefore new possibilities for action, amasing efficiency !
If you find yourself stuck with a complex situation, there is always room to laugh, do not miss out !
How about this one !
