  30. Laughing at Aches & Pains (嘲笑疼痛) Topic: 30. Laughing at Aches & Pains Yoga Class Notes: One of 40 Foundation Exercises Every now and then, some part of my body hurts. I don't really question it — after all, I've lived more than half my life. How can I expect to have the body of an 18 or 22-year-old? Plus, I really love to keep my body moving. Every week, I make sure to do cardio, strength training, qigong, swimming, light dancing, and housework. For someone like me, it's no surprise that I feel pain now and then — either from overusing my body or using it the wrong way. (Got to be careful!) Whenever I feel pain, besides doing the right physical exercises, I now also laugh at the pain. I learned this from Laughter Yoga. Wherever it hurts, I pat that spot and laugh out loud! At first, the "Ha ha ha!" sounds fake — and I’m used to that kind of forced laughter. The pain is still there, but the tight feeling loosens up a little, and at least my mind doesn...

Childlike Laughter Yoga Class Notes: One of 40 Foundation Exercises Laughing like a kid isn’t new in our laughter yoga family—it’s something we do almost every day (Childlike Laughter).

You can pat your head or slap your thighs, running around like a kid, feeling carefree like you’re young again, haha! At first, I thought it was a bit silly, but now I love doing these “silly” things!

Topic: 27. Three lobes of the lungs Yoga Class Notes: One of 40 Foundation Exercises In (Laughter Yoga) class, the (three lobes of the lungs) exercise is something we do often. I really like it; it feels like playing a game with my own body. For the upper lobe, I put my hands behind my shoulders, in a kind of "reverse prayer" position. When I inhale, I can really feel my upper chest opening up a bit. After holding my breath for three seconds, I let the air out with laughter. The laughter sounds so loud, it makes me laugh even more. But the uncle in the picture has a frozen shoulder today, so he can't bend his arms and just stretches both hands straight above his head. Next: it's the middle lobe's turn. I raise my hands above my head, making the "Mountain Pose" prayer hands. I feel like a tree welcoming the sunlight, breathing in deeply, and then laughing to spread the energy out. As for the lower lobe, I stretch my hands forward, inhale, and then suddenl...
