Im sure I read somewhere about how great it is for your face to exercise it with a smile or laugh ... to me one of the most beautiful sights in the world is an old woman (or man) with a face full of lines ... it shows they have lived ... and the cutest are those little (or big) .. laughter lines around the eyes and mouth Overall ... then benefits are just WONDERFUL!!!

Sooo .. you see .. I wasnt just challenging you for the heck of it ... the health benefits are GREAT .. and after all .. we are on a health journey arent we

Love and Laughter everyone!!

Have any of you heard of Laughter Yoga? I saw it on a Travel Channel TV show and thought it was interesting. Hope these links don't get deleted, they doon't seem to be selling anything.

I think I saw that one too!! Laughter Yoga .. I saw it somewhere in Japan I think it was .. out in the middle of the day or early morning or evening there they are in a park in the middle of the city just LAUGHING!! Loud and proud .. and when you had a look at the people that were walking past they smiled!! Isnt that a wonderful gift to give to someone in your day

Thankies for the links hun

The show I saw about the laughter yoga was Jeremy Piven's trip to India.

I would LOVE to attend a class like that.

What a wonderful way to relieve stress and exercise your abs!
