The Laughing Lady | Lene Merete Lund | TEDxOdense


oh my god yeah actually this started 13

years ago January on the 17th

it was very first time I tried laughter

yoga it was at work we had a lot of

internal problems as colleagues and it

turned out to be the change of my life

because when I came home that night my

husband told me that he had fall in love

with another woman whoa and I I can send

this my legs are shaking I don’t know

what they have put into it but and then

I just sat down looked at him and then I

started to laugh and I laughed and I

did you hear what I just said yes yes

yes I understand you will take the death

and I get to truth children and then it

was amazing I just felt like I had won

the lottery

just an amazing power washed over me

and I decided from that moment I wanted

to stay happy for the rest of my life

people thought that I have gone crazy

and sometimes think that I’m crazy and

but it helps for sure it helps I mean if

all it takes from down to up is laughter

why not laughs so simple yeah

and where can I see the hands come on

friends just one left okay oh my god

they Lily Lily Lily now and when we

can’t do anything about our problems our

words we might as well laugh at them

because when we do we feel happy and

that’s a very very good thing because

the mind don’t really know the

difference if it’s a lie when you laugh

you feel happy and then why we all

should laugh more is because it’s the

one language we all have in common all

laughter it’s our heart language so you

can always give a smile always just have

good one one of my new friends I can see

I can hear and I can feel and I can see

that some of you just didn’t do the work

that Barnabas told you to do put your

fingers up here yeah it’s scary it’s

it’s a bit scary and then sit back turn

out to the sides no no no hang on hang

on

and then take the apples part out the

controlling part just for few minutes

you can put it in the pocket yeah you

can do that if it’s more safe otherwise

you can throw it over your shoulders and

then sit down we have to in this society

now the easiest way to explain laughter

yoga or laugh for no reason is that it

makes us feel better no doubt about it

and the good thing about laughter is

that you can fake it until you make it

let’s just have one little go now you

haven’t got the adults with you oh I see

you then just just for one minute just

laugh for no reason just oh that’s good

very good very good

yeah same with me very good very good

yeah now in it is actually a bit serious

too because it is a function from our

reptile brains and it’s first given and

throughout all our every village in the

Oh translated word evolution that came

thank you and we have our brains are

like computers and we have tried to

evolve it for decades and still many of

us act like animals survival of the

but that’s not what we are meant to be

we have heard so many lovely speakers

before the pause and then we are meant

to be loving accepting creative people

that’s all there is to it

loving and accepting no judgment but in

I would like you all to have a try so

Barnabas will you please come and help
