It’s Time

Have you ever had that sense or feeling that “it’s time???” Something inside you says that the time is right for something to happen. It just feels good and it feels right. Now whether this is due to something happening in the world, or to the people around you, or that a higher intelligence is sending you signals really doesn’t matter. The message is still clear…it’s time. Here are few reasons why I think this is the case for Laughter Yoga.

Laughter Yoga Happenings At Home

One of the GRRREAT events here in Melbourne is the International Comedy Festival. Laughter Clubs Victoria was asked to participate in warming up the audience with a Laughter Session. Bron Roberts along with fourteen other laughers attended and had a great time. The feedback from the event organizers was outstanding.

In my last newsletter you may recall me talking about an amazing woman called Susan Brown from the Sunshine Coast. Well in March she was voted by the Australian Institute of Management as one of only six women who are extraordinary in making an extraordinary difference in the world for the betterment of mankind. Her Laughter Yoga program has been adopted by the Institute as part of their Master Training Plan on a permanent level.

And then from “across the ditch” in New Zealand we have The Giggles. This is a group of three Laughter Yoga folks Honalee Hannah and Richard who have formed a group who go around promoting the cause. They have a host of Press Articles and are going from strength to strength. So much so that they are now ready to attack the Corporate and Business Market .

Laughter Yoga Happenings Overseas

Just recently an American Doctor Andrew Weil who deals with returned Iraq war veterans suffering depression and mental trauma stood up in the American Congress and stated that he would use Laughter Yoga as part of their rehabilitation.

The news of this along with other media events in the United States has sent my friend Sebastien Gendry’s Laughter Yoga opportunities through the roof. Sebastien operates Laughangeles and behind the Good Doctor is possibly one of the hardest working and most devoted Laughter Yoga folks I know.

And speaking of the Good Doctor, there is some amazing news he has just received which I’ll leave to him to tell you.

Does anyone else think “it’s time” for Laughter Yoga…or is it just me???

Website Progressing Well

Our five measures of success for the website will be

1. The number of Laughter Clubs advertised.
2. The number of Laughter Teachers and Leaders listed.
3. The number of people who receive the newsletter.
4. The number of events that get listed.
5. And the number of people who visit the site looking for information.

Please assist me in whatever way you can work on any or all of these areas.

Don’t forget to visit the website on www.laughteryoga-australia.org to keep abreast of everything that’s happening.
