Lynn's Laughter Blip ~ Are You Getting the Joke?
By Lynn Shaw, Laugh Therapist
Did you laugh at the last email joke you got? If not, don't feel bad because there are important distinctions between humor and laughter. And understanding this distinction is a key step in finding and embracing laughter for healing.
Laughter is innate and is energy that can be shared because there is not a stimulus that has to accompany it. Humor however, is subjective and is not always shared. Humor is learned and isn't always appreciated by more than the interpreter. There has to be an intellectual connection.
How Can You Use Laughter and Humor for Healing?
For the purpose of applying laughter to your daily life, you are encouraged to think of humor as the brain waves for jumpstarting your laughter. Spend time daily being aware of what you interpret as funny. If you're purchasing a card, read the ones marked "humorous" and discover which ones elicited laughter. Read forwarded emails, cartoons, bumper stickers, billboard signs, to help enhance your awareness of what generates laughter for YOU. When people tell stories or jokes, pay attention to how you feel afterwards. Did you laugh?
