Laughter Coaching is “any intervention that promotes health and wellness by stimulating a playful discovery, expression or appreciation of the absurdity or incongruity of life’s situations. This intervention may enhance health or be used as a complementary treatment of illness to facilitate healing or coping, whether physical, emotional, cognitive, social or spiritual.”
(Association for Applied and Laughter Therapy)
Neuroscientist, Jodi Deluca, Ph.D., of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University said, "It doesn't matter why you laugh. Even in small doses, it improves our overall quality of life."
- Laughter Coaching is a process between coach and client and does not change the facts, but it does change the way one relates to the facts.
- Laughter Coaching empowers one to embody more healing laughter - using this major cathartic process to healing emotional pain.
- Laughter Coaching promotes appropriate laughter, resulting in self-determination, well-being and healthy connections, allowing one to see things that seem unbearable and releasing them in a pleasurable way.
- Laughter Coaching creates physical, emotional, spiritual and psychological healing using a whole lot of laughs.
Over the years, doctors and health care professionals have reported many physical benefits to laughter. Here are just a few:
- Decrease in stress hormone levels
- Strengthening of the immune system
- Muscle relaxation
- Pain reduction
- Lowering of blood pressure
- Cardiovascular conditioning
- Natural anti-depressant
