Well-rested, and often experiencing laughter are no secrets to finding less resonating pains. It takes no PhD to become a practitioner; however, it must be honest joy, fore a false sense of laughter will only exhibit the deficient connection to the spirit of one's heart. Uninhibited laughter sends my life a whirling like a kid twirling on the floor, because who cares about tomorrow when it is just another day; unless, of course, one is swept away.
There are few American made films that have been more profound in affecting my perception than Network (1976) about the network News' programing of modern society's families. There is no laughter of genuine joy when watching how complacent many people have become as a result of being fed "fear" and "believing" it is necessary to learn more of why to be afraid your body and ego's mind will die...yet, beyond this notion exist the cultivaltion of a relationship to reality, one suggesting life energy is actually eternal and exist beyond time.
Once I began laughing so hard that I was on the floor with joy spilling out of me like a bowl overflowing, while a six-armed buddha's blue arms cradled me. The feeling lifted away leaving me with a thought "what is next?" and another thought "was the experience real?"...
Perhaps, the realization that pain and pleasure fleet and return is the best catalyst for provoking a joy for living life without extremes so that harmony in health is found like a green valley's gentle ocean breeze, offering us to be here completely.
