  25. Motorboat Laughter (摩托艇) Topic: 25. Motorboat Laughter Yoga Class Notes: One of 40 Foundation Exercises The other day at home, I wanted to get some movement in, so I remembered this trick the teacher taught us. I bent over, made fists with my hands, and pretended to pull the starter cord of a motorboat.  "Ha!" A little quietly.  "Haaa~" A little longer.  "Haaaa~" Even longer! As a result,  I didn't laugh after the third pull, but I did tweak my back... (Hey!) After a short rest, I figured I couldn't give up. This time, I imagined I was really by the lake, the sun shining on me, a gentle breeze blowing. I pulled again!  "Ha!" This time it felt right.  "Haaa~" Hmm, I felt the engine starting.  "Haaaa~" Suddenly, "Pfft!" I really burst out laughing! Not that fake kind of laugh, but the kind that comes from inside my belly, and I couldn't stop it. After laughing, my back didn't seem to hurt as much....

MiniStory: Ha Ha Ha!

  MiniStory: Ha Ha Ha! (Mr. Stick) noticed the recent popularity of the word " HA ! " Whether at work, chatting with online friends, or shopping online, it's everywhere. For example:  "You're welcome, HA ! "  "Can minimize it, HA ! "  "Adjust it a bit, HA ! " "Need to rush to work overtime, HA ! " (Mr. Stick) didn't know when this usage became popular, didn't understand its meaning, and felt it sounds bad. But that's how internet slang is; you might not like how it sounds, but it becomes popular anyway, and then you find yourself saying it too. (Stick) asked some people, but no one could give him a correct answer. Maybe it's a dialect, maybe it's colloquial, could it be Thai, Japanese, or Korean? "Remember to give us a review, ha ! "  "Today is his birthday, ha ! "  "These are the sizes, ha ! " Stick guessed that this "ha" was similar in meaning to "ah," ...

24. Laughter Cream (笑聲面霜)

  24. Laughter Cream (笑聲面霜) Topic: 24. Laughter Cream Yoga Class Notes: One of 40 Foundation Exercises In the Laughter Yoga class, there's a part called "Laughter Cream." I like this exercise because it's like "beautifying" myself! We pretend to squeeze laughter cream from a tube or scoop it out of a jar. First, I rub it on my hands, and then I naturally pretend to apply it. The students in front of the camera, including me, are never serious when applying it. We all use exaggerated expressions and movements. Some people wrinkle their faces as if the cream is too cold. Others shake their whole bodies as if the cream is too sticky. Some even make "glug glug" sounds, as if they're eating the cream! Or as if the cream is eating us! Haha! It feels very simple, like playing with the air as a child. You don't have to think too much, just do it. Even though there's nothing in our hands, just pretending is funny, and then we all laugh together....

23. Laughter Yoga Food Blessing (笑聲瑜珈食物祝福)

  23. Laughter Yoga Food Blessing (笑聲瑜珈食物祝福) Topic: 23. Laughter Yoga Food Blessing Yoga Class Notes: One of 40 Foundation Exercises I tried this exercise before lunch that day. I held my hands over a small plate of salad, feeling the heat – the vegetables were cold, the egg was hot. I chanted "hoho hahaha!" along with the rhythm. I don't usually pray, so I felt like I was casting a magic spell, haha! As I circled my hands, I suddenly thought about how many people had handled this salad – the farmer in the wheat field, the delivery driver, the market worker. They worked hard in the sun and rain, maybe coughed from exhaustion, got angry, and took their emotions out on the food, throwing it around, and then the egg broke! Thinking about it, I laughed! No, no, no!  Version two: It was a clear, sunny day, and everyone was happy working, carefully taking care of the food every day, waiting for their owner to take them away. Thinking about it, I laughed! Which version do you be...

22. Laughter Juice (笑聲果汁)

  22. Laughter Juice (笑聲果汁) Topic: 22. Laughter Juice Yoga Class Notes: One of 40 Foundation Exercises I never thought of dropping my heart’s (problems) into my (ears), not even once. The “Laughter Juice” move makes me laugh before I even start. Treat your (left ear) as the entrance and your right ear as the exit. Toss problems in, swirl them around, laugh while squeezing the mess into juice, then pretend to pour it into a glass, so serious it feels a bit silly. No, it’s not silly at all—it’s super fun, turning big problems into small ones, relieving stress, because facing problems is just part of life, like the whole package of life. For “Laughter Juice,” I’d pick my favorite lemonade every day. What drink would you choose? Imagine… holding two cups of imaginary juice, throwing them hard, shouting “Hehe… Haha! Hehe… Haha!” After laughing, all the day’s noise gets flung into outer space. 22. 笑聲果汁 瑜珈課筆記:40個基礎練習之一 我從來沒有想過把心裡的(問題)掉進(耳朵)裡面,從來也沒有想過。「笑聲果汁」這個動作,我都忍不住先笑出來。 把(左耳)當成入口,右耳是出口,...
