When it comes down to it, feelings of sadness or happiness, anger or joy and in fact any other feelings we experience are rooted in biology.
The power of laughter to heal shouldn’t ever be underestimated
The more we look into it the more we realise just how healing it is.And the more we realize just how intricately laughter is related to the whole mystery of human body functioning.
Boost your health through simple laughter exercises! Learn how
If you have ever heard of the book ‘Molecules Of Emotion’ by Candace Pert you may know about the close correlation that has been discovered in recent research in biochemistry between the molecules in our body and emotional feelings. Indeed it has led to the discovery of actual ‘molecules of emotion’ which respond as much to our feelings as the previously researched and identified factors of chemical stimulants and inhibitors and their electro-magnetic channeling.
Another famous book, ‘The Biology Of Belief’ by Bruce Lipton is saying basically the same thing. The whole ‘mind, body, spirit’ thing can no longer be viewed as being composed of independently separate elements. Everything is intimately connected in a whole field of energy, vibration, movement and flow and each part has an effect on the other.
The Benefits of Laughter
What is really interesting is the knowledge that our mood can affect our immune system. This is good news for those suffering from chronic illness because it essentially puts the power back into their hands instead of remaining victim to dismal diagnosis and reliance on synthetic drugs that may do more harm than good.
It is now known that laughter has a significant effect on boosting the immune system, even when the laughter isn’t genuine! You can fake laughter. Just the simple pulling of the face muscles to create a smile acts as a body trigger to stimulate the increased production of endorphins, the feel good’ hormones in our bodies and the result is that we actually, and amazingly perhaps, feel better almost instantaneously!
The laugh doctor teaches you how to laugh!
Not only that but our inherent ability to fight illness and disease is enhanced at the same time. So it truly is an effective medicine, not only for the ‘soul’ but also for the body. In fact the now famous experiment by Norman Cousins who chose laughter as a way of dealing with his very painful condition of ankylosing spondylitis, a degenerative auto-immune disease of the connective tissue, is good proof of this approach. He discovered that a mere 15 minutes of laughter had the effect of providing him with close to 2 hours of pain relief.
He wrote about in his book, “Anatomy of an Illness: As Perceived by the Patient.” This ‘laughter effect’ has since been confirmd by further research on the healing power of laughter. It is now recognised by many to be a significant therapeutic tool for improvement both physically and emotionally.
Cheerful laughter exercises for a happy healthy life
In fact it is often used in hospitals to reduce pre-operative stress in children, for example with specially trained clowns, and has been found to also aid the recovery process. Some of the health benefits of laughter include relaxation of tight muscles, an increase in alertness, reduction in physical pain and a decrease in emotional stress.
It acts to boost the immune system, lower blood pressure, improve circulation and triggers the release of endorphins that make us feel good and view life in a more optimistic frame. Those suffering from chronic illness can gain an enhanced outlook on life and this can help to sped their recovery. If you suffer from heart problems, or have already had a heart attack, laughter has been shown to reduce the chances of a reoccurence by almost 35% compared to without.
So instead of laughing less and less as you grow older, along with an increase in various stresses and disease, perhaps you should think about re-igniting that childhood spark and laugh your way back to hearty health again once more.

People who had looked at the pictures of people sneezing, coughing, or otherwise showing signs of disease had a stronger immune response than people who had looked at pictures of men aiming guns at them. This kind of response to the sight of diseased people may have been evolutionarily adaptive, according to Schaller and his colleagues. Although an aggressive immune response has infection-fighting benefits, it’s also costly – it consumes energy and can be temporarily debilitating. It may have been adaptive for the immune system to react especially aggressively when additional information indicates that the threat of infection appears high. According to Schaller, “The things we see around us, such as the sight of sick people, can provide that kind of information. And it makes sense for the immune system to respond to it. colon cleanse can helps restore healthy immune

I love you post! I guess laughter has only one negative effect and that is stomach ache after laughing. But other than that laughing have millions of positive effects.
There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.

Thank you so much for sharing such an informative post! I must say its an excellent post & really appreciate your efforts in providing so many details on this subject. I have to say that living with chronic illness is really not easy. It is very common to find yourself being frustrated, annoyed, depressed, stressed, worried, anxious and most likely of all, lonely and tearful. So during this time laughter is indeed the best thing to do.
Excellent post & it has got loads of information. After reading your post i realize that laughter has got millions of positive effects. I think it can help you in relaxing and in coping better. Laughter indeed got the power beyond any drug to make u feel positive, healthy as well as young.
Hi,
Thanks, it is really a great article with lots of good information. And I can’t agree more. I will use your advice since after reading your post I completely understand how closely laughter is related to the whole mystery of human body functioning. Thanks again, really good article.
We all know that but bringing it into practice takes a good soul. Here where I live we have a organisation called Clinicclowns that visits sick children in hospitals to bring joy and laughter to them. They need that to heal or cope with the illness. Very good article and hope to see more of it elsewhere on the blogs.

Great post on the ‘Chronic Illness And Laughter, Real Benefits To Laughing’. In past days i have read lots of articles on this topic but this post is simply amazing. It is indeed very important for all of us to know the importance of laughing. Really a very good article.
It is really true that the power of laughter to heal shouldn’t ever be underestimated. Majority of the people do not take it too seriously but it indeed has great benefits. There are lots of laughing clubs these days all over the world which basically works in making people understand the benefits related to it.

Yes, I always consider laughter as the best medicine because I believe that happy people are healthy people. Great post here. Thanks!

I certainly agree with your post. Being very negative slows your immune system and everything works abnormally, but haven’t you observe those sick people who have a great humor? they are easily cured. Still, laughter is the best medicine.

Think positive thoughts! The more you think of your illness the more you become weak. Just think that everything will just pass. You better be happy, cause being negative in everything makes you more stagnate and invites negative aura.

I have two grandma’s who is spending a two month vacation in my home. They were both sisters, the other one is grumpy and the grandma Felisa is the happy singing girl. The younger Polite as her name, is always sick, I think being negative with life weakens your immune system.So why waste your time being grumpy, it doesn’t add one cubit of your stature.
