I took a weekend retreat to experience Laughter Yoga some years ago. The underlying understanding is that laughter engages the whole body and provides various health benefits. I was told that you don’t even need anything funny to laugh at.  For me, This was not a selling point. Finding things to laugh at is easy enough to do. In fact, I’ve been amazed by how deep, uncontrollable laughter can often lead to tears and how a cleansing crying jag can often turn into laughter. There’s something about acknowledging my own vulnerability and humanity that makes me regard these two outwardly different emotions in a similar way. Recall a time when you laughed or cried deeply. How did you acknowledge yourself for experiencing these emotions fully?
