just a brief reminder for everybody this
evening special talk of youth TEDx sis
is about enlightenment I feel that
enlightenment requires us to become
lighter that means having less heavy
feelings and also it’s needed to be
filled with more light that in itself
will allow us to discover the inner joy
and the inner peace that is already in
our hearts assisting people to become
more light hearted is exactly what I do
professionally as a happiness coach and
I am here today to share with you two
ways that are easy simple and fun to
become much lighter the easiest and
funniest way to become more happy is
taking up the practice of smiling and
laughing as a daily practice this ladies
and gentlemen is exactly what laughter
yoga is all about laughter yoga is the
brilliant brainchild of a doctor from
India dr. Madan Kataria discovered that
the body cannot distinguish between a
real and a fake laughs and laughter yoga
is based on this scientific fact he
completed this as a laughter delivery
system when he found out that all the
patients coming to him were suffering
from stress related sicknesses and/or
from depression so laughter yoga is
addressing these major afflictions of
humanity in a very natural way and it
has zillions of benefits one of them is
it brings much more oxygen to the brain
or to the whole system and science tells
us that the brain needs 25% more oxygen
than any other part in the body so
chances
when you cannot focus on your studies or
on any mental work that you simply don’t
have enough oxygen in your brain then
getting up and noting a little bit would
really do the trick and you could then
study much better and perform at your
best another of the many benefits is
that when we laugh for just about a
minute the brain starts to produce a
hormone that’s called endorphine
endorphin is the body’s own more fuel it
reduces any sense of pain and it
increases the feeling of happiness I
mean how good is that the body produces
it yourself just when you smile or laugh
for about a minute the thing that I love
most about laughter Yoga is that you
cannot possibly think and at the same
time laugh not even the most brilliant
brain can do that and that in itself is
so refreshing for the mind because
usually the mind comes up with a lot a
lot of negative thinking and a lot of
judgmental thoughts when those stopped
you feel so relaxed and you start
bonding with other people from the heart
this is the reason why laughter Yoga is
so brilliant for a team building because
people stop thinking stop making
judgments about each other laugh into
their faces and become really loving in
their relationships with each other I’m
here today to give you not only a
theoretical speech about the many
benefits of laughter yoga I’m actually
here to exercise this a little bit with
you but before we get started let me
just tell you that the one thing that
keeps us from practicing laughter Yoga
is that it feels awkward
in laughter yoga we usually do this in a
group and we mimic laughter first
because it’s contagious it soon becomes
real laughter now it’s a fantastic thing
to do also when you’re alone at home
it’s a little bit more difficult in each
case what we’re up against is the
obstacle that your brain will start
telling you this is really stupid the
inner voice will tell you you look so
freaking stupid so it will say a lot of
things about you that’s the ego like so
many other things in life once we get
beyond this resistance of the ego it
starts to feel really good and you will
discover that you can laugh in so many
different ways and you will also
discover that it feels so liberating and
it makes you feel so much light-hearted
so I hope you’re ready to get started
with me
please put both feet next firmly on the
ground parallel to each other take a few
deep breaths
remember we normally don’t take in
enough oxygen deep breath fill your
tummies with air not just the chest
tommy’s fill them up with air breathe
out one more time breathe in and breathe
out now I would like you to do this with
a sound breathe in and then push it out
and say hi with the loud voice show off
now make them as many as you possibly
can breathe in when one is there we go
okay let’s take this one step further
please take a deep breath raise your
right arm up and giggle a little bit
here and laughter you better remember we
fake it until we make it you get the
arms and laughs excellent and laughter
we do between exercises very good very
good
yeah and we stretch and we do yay those
of you who have seen me on the popular
Egyptian TV show abla fajita know
exactly how that goes so let’s do this
excellent this movement ladies and
gentlemen it’s something that really
brings up the feeling of childlike
playfulness and this is what laughter
yoga is all about little children laugh
between three and four hundred times
okay we forget that we also forget that
because society tells us things like
don’t open your mouth how you laugh when
you laugh how’s that supposed to happen
don’t make a sound when you laugh how’s
that supposed to go or in the behaved
please stand up all of you let’s take
this a step forward laughter Yoga is an
interactive workout
it’s a cardiovascular workout also there
is a study that says ten minutes of deep
belly laughter equals twenty minutes on
a rowing machine I don’t know about you
guys I don’t like rowing machines or
jogging machines I prefer to laugh for
ten minutes so let’s do this just mimic
a shy person turn to the person to your
right and kick a little bit like this
hehe the person on your left look into
excellent now please let’s do a
handshake turn to the person on your
right shake hands with them look into
their eyes and laugh now please imagine
we’re blowing up a balloon do it okay
then okay so for deep out press we blow
the balloon and then we prick it and
okay excellent
now I would like you to lean backwards
and with a very loud voice to open a
taka taka henna and you say and then you
move forward a new laughs towards the
ground nobody can see you so laughs loud
very good thank you very much please be
before I let you go I would like to tell
you about another brilliant method to
shift your emotions in no time knowing
that this changes the biochemistry in
our body and the changes the way our
heart beats this system was developed by
the famous Institute of height math in
California just right next to Silicon
Valley the most futuristic think tank
think tanks are based there so
scientists of the Institute found that
the brain associates very smooth and
coherent heart rate rhythm with any
uplifting emotion so what we do is we’ve
we take a breath a little bit deeper and
a little bit slower than normal and we
appreciate something it could be a
bouquet of flowers it could be a
beautiful picture
it could be accessories as the ladies
among us it could be anything really but
focus on something to appreciate and
slow down your breathing and that’s all
it takes in two minutes your heart rate
rhythm will change and when that happens
we perform at our best in contrast when
we get nervous and stressed out our
heart rate rhythms become very jagged
and this is when we lose vital energy so
the heart math system is another
fantastic and easy and natural way to
feel much lighter and much better my
message to you today is very simple and
I feel it’s important there is no reason
to get stuck in depression anxiety or
anger there is a way out which is
totally natural and totally fun so the
priority here is actually really to
focus on feeling well when that happens
when you are happy everything in life
falls into place just like magic so this
is the main
thing to focus on making yourselves
happy this is my message to you it’s
something easy to do in this sense I
wish all of you a very happy life with
an abundance of smiles abundance of
appreciation and lots and lots of laughter thank you very much
