Laughter Therapy for the Mind and Body-An Interview with Vishwa Prakash

摘要

A: Vishwa Prakash: Laughter therapy is seated in psy-choneuroimmunology-the mind-body connection. Effectively, what it means is that emotions have great bearing on our physical state of health. If the cause of our disease is ultimately emotions, then the solution to curing ourselves from within is also through our emotions. That is the premise of laughter therapy. Laughter immediately places individuals in a new frame of mind-away from all forms of negativity. Through laughter therapy these individuals experience a type of emotional workout. It really is a new way to be. People who engage in laughter therapy find that their problems, and especially their pain, are forgotten. This sort of therapy can be used effectively to handle pain and for overall healing.
