How delightful it feels to laugh!
Within some guidelines, of course.
The liturgy of laughter is a passionate process
Devotional, compassionate, transformative
The essence of spiritual, physical and
Energetic healing - or can be.
Laughter decreases our tensions and pains
Laughter relaxes our joints and
Takes our minds off current pain, distress
Misunderstandings, boredom or misery
Just laugh!
For healthy results, laughter may:
Not ridicule
Not deprecate (self or others)
Not be hostile (full of cloaked
Loathing in the form of sarcasm)
Not shaming of any person, group or animal
Not gossiping at anyone’s expense
Not harmful toward any living being
Enough negatives and not’s!
For fabulous outcomes and results
Laughter may:
Be shared most of the time
But enjoyed even alone
Titillates our cells and stimulates hormones
Reduces stress and nervousness
Sometimes acts out anxiety and fear
Clears out the clutter
Gut wrenching at times and gently
Soothing the skin and other organs at other times
Decreases frowns and complaining moods
Gets rid of our “minds” temporarily
Ego dissolution, however brief, is
Barely in total control of spasms
Blustering, spitting, crying, or squealing
Leaving us drained of negative energies and
Calm and peaceful, while
Filled up with excitement, enthusiasm - or maybe
Apology for such loud noises and guffaws.
Our Lady of Laughter is coming out of her shell
Creating a ministry of sacred laughter
Accepting this role as a healing practice
To develop a kinder and gentler sense about
Being human in this reality, subject to making mistakes
Experiencing fears, angers, embarrassments, and silliness
Which may be dissolved by partaking in such a
Sacrament as Laughter.
Anyone can follow this liturgy
When dealing with human matters
Or while seeking the divine
By experimenting yourself, by playing
With yourself and others, even with animals
If you have little human audience or community for
Indulging in such religious practices.
Laugh a lot
Laugh alone
Laugh with
Laugh to yourself
Laugh out loud and
Sometimes silently
Laugh for the betterment of
Human development and growth
For the sensational health and
Wacky well-being of all.
And, so it is
Amen.
