Guest post by Jan Andrew
I first heard about the healing power of laughter in the 70s when I read about how Norman Cousins cured himself of a fatal disease with the help of the Marx Brothers, but I already believed in it.
In college, my best friends and I formed a “super society” bonded in a belief that laughter and song were the best antidotes to life’s challenges and to find anxiety relief. That bond of laughter got me through a lot of heartache and loss until I became …

In fact, fear and anger were prevalent and joy made scant appearances. Yet the giggles remained, albeit stuffed down deep in case inappropriate gales of laughter erupted at an inopportune moment.

1. IDENTIFY WHAT YOU WANT
One of the main reasons people don’t get what they want is because they don’t know what they want.
Write down your top 8 dreams for body, mind, heart and soul. Be clear and succinct or you’ll start to feel confused and overwhelmed. If you have too many, narrow it down to the essential 8.
Then write one thing you can do every day to bring your dreams into reality. For example: "I want to be happy. I commit to 2 minutes of laughter meditation every day". …

As I sat in a restaurant one Sunday evening enjoying my pasta salad and the company of some friends, the sounds of giggles and laughter drifted over from the next table. We turned to see a family with two teenage daughters who had a bad case of the giggles. The father, obviously not in a good mood, became more and more exasperated with the girls' inability to contain their laughter. Finally, with a very serious straight face, he said, "That's enough laughing for the weekend, Julia."
I had to …
