Liturgy of Laughter (Our Lady of Laughter)

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.
