Laughter and Healing

Laughter is to express certain emotions especially delight by series of spontaenous sounds or to feel triumphant or exultant sense of well being. 

Child like Laughter opens & makes
the heart grow fonder & fonder

Laughter is related to the heart chakra and tends to produce hormones which help the physical, mental and emotional body to return to relaxed state. It tends to jiggle and wiggle and shake our body completely. 

Laughter- the chakra journey 

The whole laughter experience starts at the manipura/solar plexus chakra which opens it- releases the old thoguhts &  patterns,   jiggles the lower chakras aka stimulates the genitals especially , thereby goes up to the heart chakra opens its by couple of diameters and that is when the heart jumps and pumps more blood,  goes upto the throat chakra ( prime location) and gushes the center , this inturn goes upto the third eye chakra and opens it and thats when one it completely opens and one can see stars or vivid colors around in form of specks /sparks and flows all the way up to the Crown chakra and balances it all i.e: clears the mind and help in decision making based on facts not only hope.

I always compare this with the Chinnamasta devi transcendal journey of the spirtual awakening . Refer Chinnamasta- Transcendal awakening

 Since laughter plays such an important role in improving our immunity and releasing fears and old patterns. Here are a few things which can help one to laugh  ( quite simple)-

Bring a smile to someone

• Reiki- Performing the full body healing and inviting Maitreya - Laughing Buddha and laugh by invoking emotional healing symbol
• Laughing Yoga or Hasyayoga- Laughter is involuntarily and can be induced. One can perform this yoga indiviually or with a group of people and laugh, else join laughter clubs. A group work always improves cohesiveness and promotes positive attitude.
• Childlke activities- Do things you used to do as a child eg: playing in parks, watching a funny/kids movie, meet yourchildhood friends, play childhood games, sing children songs, watching comedy serials etc. This will literally bring back happy memories and make you laugh
• Inner child work- Do a inner child work workshop and get in touch with your core innocent self. 
• Reading- Read cartoons, jokes, funny illogical emails, have funny posters, keep a mood lifter diary or comic, have a section of funny books in your library.
• Family and friends- Meet and spend time with your family and friends, this will lighten and relax you and strengthen your bonds. Try playing chilhood pranks :)
• See yourself as third person- If you are in a stressful situation, see yourself and the state as third person ( very difficult to do) and imagine your life as a comedy story and laugh at it. This could be mometary but will atleast help you in someway.

We always have a choice, try and bring laughter into you life,try something silly, do something for a change that you want to do .... laugh laugh cause it doesnt cost a thing ( no matter how difficult it is right now) it might just make life a bit better than what it is today... Nothing to lose... so smile and laugh :)... Best things in life are free and laughter is just one of them

Do Laughing Yoga Like Calvin and Hobbes aka
Kitto and Kitto :)....
Sing along- "Hey I put on new some shoes on & everything
is different and I can see new smiles "... "slowly
i can see bright sun & its all inviting"

Hand Mudra Basics

World, every organism, including humans is made up of five elements- water, air, fire, earth and ether i.e: In some humans water is more and earth elements are less. Our fingers and thumbs have the power of deciding or one the critical factor that decide the nature of the physical, mental or psychological health.

Reiki is one form of healing that help us understand that our hands and body are reservoir of energy, so now if we focus on each thumb or fingers or combinations it could be invariably channelize energy. Hand Mudras correspond to fingers, thumbs and corresponding chakras.Below is the table for the basic, the planets section is based on my understanding but it can change based on vedic or western astrology or others.

Fingers	Planet	Element
Thumb	Mars	Fire
Index Finger	Jupiter	Air
Middle finger	Saturn	Space/Ether
Ring Finger	Moon/Sun/Mars	Earth
Little Finger	Mercury	Water

Reiki and Healing Hurt Feelings

Inner Peace lets you be with your self

Feelings are like water they come and go a temporary state, a fluid state of emotions.  Water or emotions if  remain in the same state for long can begin to stink e.g: rain water collected in a pond and never cleaned, dirt is absorbed and affects the overall being. It is strange that people who love you sometimes also tend to hurt our feelings. Hurt can be by mere words in form of mockery, abusive words, judgement, criticism which leaves deep scars.

Typically these words affect the mind and keep hovering and lead to bitterness. In healing systems mainly, each hurt or painful words affect our specific chakra and it tends to get unbalanced and affects us. e.g: hurtful words for character tend to affect the hara chakra i.e: one questions ones relationship with others, sexuality issues, lack of expression.

For now lets look at how to heal your hurt feelings ( quite a task can take days/months /years cos this to form a better relationship with own self):-

• Evaluate your feelings-. Understand if this your own feeling or projection of other persons feelings or you past emotional state e.g: words like " your good for nothing" can trigger feelings of repressed childhood memories  or have an impact that one becomes overtly competitive etc.It very important to understand to what extend. Suggested therapies- Letter writing, meditation, working or inviting messages from Archangel Ariel and Sandalphon, healing front and back third eye chakra and throat chakra along with back root chakra.
• Purpose- In Hinduism it is understood that everything happens for a reason mainly karmic which may or may not be related to past lives. Looking in the real practical world too there are triggers in our lives some in form of hurtful words change our lives or make us find a new self.  How you found that new self is what you have to understand. e.g: a girl child who is  consistently verbally abused tends to get bitter and eventually works hard and becomes a scholar etc. Suggested Therapies- Past Life regression therapy , Hypnotherapy, working or inviting messages Archangel Raziel and Zadkiel , healing the crown chakra, front and back third eye chakra and root chakra.
• Forgiveness- " Forgive and Forget" is the biggest mantra and solution for most of the issues. Though it is easier said than done. It better to not enslave oneself with past hurt feelings. After forgiveness too feelings of hatred will come back best is not resent but acknowledge it without resistance. Suggested Therapies-  Cord Cutting,  working or inviting messages from Archangel Raphael,  writing hurt incident on paper and healing it with Reiki and burning it, healing Front and back Heart chakra, Music Therapy
• Pray -  Pray for healing. Time is sometimes the best healer.Additionally heal the crown chakra with selenite crystal.

Forgiveness Heals no matter how
difficult it may seem

Chakra Beej Mantras

A, Aa, E, Ee, O, Oo etc are all vowels and are spoken with sounds that come from within i.e: stomach, buzzing in the ear, nasal tones, tongue rolling etc. each of which stimulates one part of the body or other thereby corresponding to a chakra.
Chakras have different tones and move and different frequencies, the root being the slowest and most dense to Ajna or third eye chakra being the fastest . The beej mantra or single seed syllable  of the chakra balances the chakra and thereby purifies it.
