Emotion (e-motion) is really a term that represents the contraction of energy in motion. Quantum physicists tell us that the essential nature of this Universe is energy, and that this energy is always in motion. So, in truth, our e-motions are really indicators of the type of energy that is in motion in our lives. Since the law of attraction tells us that like energy attracts like energy, our emotions are really telling us what type of energy is in motion towards in our lives, and therefore the type of energy that is being attracted to( in motion towards) our lives. What role does laughter play in all of this?

Regardless of the empirical data that tells us of the positive effects of laughter in improving immune function, as well as reducing anxiety and stress, each of us has the subjective knowledge of the positive effects of laughter. In fact, The American Heritage College Dictionary defines the act of laughing as: “to feel a triumphant or exultant sense of well-being.” Looked at another way, our emotions indicate our state of Being, and, by law, we can only attract to us things that are congruent with our state of Being. After all, a radio that is tuned to an FM station can not catch an AM signal, and vice versa. Similarly, when you are tuned to the frequency of well-being you can only attract that which is well. Thus, laughter, which instantaneously tunes one in to the frequency of wellness can only attract that which will further your sense of wellness.

If you want to take full advantage of the power of laughter, here is a short and simple meditation you can use anytime you need an instant boost in your sense of wellness. This is especially potent when done with a group of people.

1) Lie on your back in a comfortable location in your home, with your legs folded so that your feet are firmly planted on the ground.
2) Begin to laugh hysterically. Initially this may feel a bit forced, but after a couple of “fake” laughs you will soon find humor in the notion of fake laughter, and thus begin to naturally laugh hysterically.
3) Continue laughing non-stop for five to ten minutes.

Experiment with this practice. Whenever you find yourself in a negative emotional state, you can take a quick “time out” from your day, and just allow yourself to laugh your way to a triumphant sense of wellness. If you keep in mind that our emotions are indicators of the type of energy that is in motion towards us, you will realize the importance of always feeling good. And, when it come to an antidote for those lulls of negativity we all inevitably find ourselves in, truly, laughter is the best medicine.
