During a laughter session in a group you learn to laugh without a reason to gain the positive effects on your body and mind. You start with deep breathes and the Ho-Ho Ha-Ha-Ha clapping activity, followed by a variety of simulated laughter such as the hearty laugh, silent laugh, one metre laugh, the lion laugh and the telephone laugh, which when shared with a smile and lots of eye contact, stimulates you to the real thing. You gain the techniques for thought free laughter based on yoga where anyone can learn to laugh for 15-20 minutes a day without resorting to jokes.
