World Laughter Day



MAY 06

WORLD LAUGHTER DAY !

"Laughing is the birthright of humanity, and humane living requires daily bouts of good-hearted laughing."

World Laughter Day was first observed on January 11, 1998, in Mumbai, India. In each subsequent year, more and more events have been held around the world. This coincides with the phenomenal explosion of interest in laughter therapy and the amazing powers of laughter. Says Wilson, “Regardless of the reason you laugh, the primary purposes of laughter have to do with reducing the terrible effects of stress, and connecting with other people; laughter plays a huge role in maintaining relationships. Actually, we need laughter more now than ever!”

The world is so out of balance that it needs to lighten up and laugh more in order to maintain perspective. This day has been set aside to send a message to get more people laughing, urging the world to lighten up! "Systematic exposure to true mirthful laughter in a supportive environment," says Wilson, "can contribute to world
peace by fostering attitudinal healing."
