“Laughter has a positive effect on
the cardiovascular system. Blood pressure is
lowered overall and resting heart rate
decreases. Additionally, the immune system
appears to get tuned up. We should become more
serious about
laughter."
-- Dr. Lee Berk, Loma Linda

Laughter Clubs
- |
|
(30 minute
sessions, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly) Each
club gathering consists of a basic format of
laughter exercises and
activities.
A
Laughter Club Program is
non-political, non-religious, non-explotive,
non-perfectionistic, and does not require
everyone to participate in all the
exercises.
A Laughter Club
Program flows through these basic
program componants:
-
Attendees
stand and sit in a circle, with the Certified
Laughter Leader in the middle. They will welcome
and give an introduction to the
process.
-
Simply
breathing and stretching exercises.
-
Laughing
exercises (3 to 8, depending on time frame and
group comfortability level).
-
Announcements and
conclusion.
Laughter Club
Programs are being used in
corporations, businesses of various sizes, a
great way to break-up the nose-to-grind
association meetings or organizational
conferences, for hospital staff, hospice
caregivers, long-term healthcare residents,
elementary school and middle school classes,
cancer support groups, heart health support
groups, and hundreds more across the United
States of
America.
