<p> The Healing Power of Laughter:<P>
Questions and Answers on Laughing When We
Hurt<p><P>
Excerpt from an interview with Annette Goodheart
in Science of Mind Magazine<p>
<p>Is there a difference between laughter and
humor ?<p>
<p>AG:
Yes, and recognizing that difference is a real key to
understanding the healing power of playful
laughter. Humor is intellectual, a way of viewing the
world. There've been a lot of studies on humor, but
no agreement on what's funny. You think certain
things are funny and I think other things are funny,
because we have different senses of humor. We may
cross over in certain areas, but there will still be
basic, individual differences. People in Russia are
amused by different things than we are here. There
are differences between someone in New York and
someone in California. A man's idea of 'funny' is
often different from a woman's. These differences
go on and on.<p>
Laughter, on the other hand, is universal. It's a
profound process that involves every major system
in the body. It's spiritual, physiological, and
emotional. It's not intellectual, except perhaps -
with adults - after the fact. Think of the kind of
laughter babies do. When we see a baby laughing,
nobody says, 'Doesn't that baby have a wonderful
sense of humor?'<p>
Most people think our sense of humor is what
causes us to laugh, but it's really the other way
around. And we would have more opportunities to
laugh if we didn't think we have to agree on what's
funny. Laughter doesn't need a reason to be - in
fact, laughter is unreasonable, illogical, and
irrational. Laughter exists for its own sake. Infants
provide a good example of this, because they learn
to laugh first and later on develop a sense of
humor, which is a playfully intellectual way of
relating to the world.<p>
Q. How can I laugh at things that hurt?<p>
A. Sadly for many people this question prevents
them from using the healing power of laughter to
deal with the pain. Many of us are unaware that we
laugh because we hurt. Abandoning our laughter
because of overwhelming pain simply keeps us
feeling victimized. Tapping into laughter as nature
meant for us to do restores our personal power so
we no longer feel like victims. We are able to cope
with our pain .<p>
Q. Don't we laugh because we're happy?<p>
A. No, we don't. We are actually happier because we
laugh. Every time we laugh, we heal, That's why we
feel better after we laugh, not before.<p>
Q. Won't laughing at my problems minimize their
importance?<P>
A. Absolutely not. laughter is always born of
important feelings. It is nature's way of aiding our
survival by giving us a new perspective so we may
find ways to cope. Observe your own and other
people's laughter and watch this important process
take place.<P>
Q. What if I don't feel like laughing?<P>
A. You may need to cry which is equally healing.
Tears are the healing not the pain. You may need
to have a "tantrum" which is also healing. Watch the
little children. They use their natural healing
processes with masterful ease. They care for their
pain with laughter, crying, and rage without
wondering if it's okay or which process is best.
They follow their emotions.<P>
Q. Why should I consider laughing when I feel so
bad?<P>
A. Because we laugh when we are hurt and laughter
heals. The laughter was yours for the taking at
birth. You used it then, and you can again. It's
simply a matter of opening oneself to the healing
powers of one's own body to assist in dealing with
our painful emotions. We have to feel our emotions
in order to heal. Our thoughts then assist our
understanding. We need to feel as well as think in
order to regain our balance so we can cope.<P>
Q. Who needs it?<P>
A. Everybody! Laughter is important and effective
for individuals, couples, families, businesses,
schools, medical facilities and all other
organizations.<P>
Q. How to get it!?!
A. Go see LIVE stand-up comedy at a comedy club
near you! Especially if Jim Lauletta there! And if he's
not? CALL THE CLUB AND DEMAND IT! LOL<P>
