Yoga Laughter

Imagine this happening to your body… “rhythmic, vocalized, expiratory and involuntary actions” — Fifteen facial muscles contract and stimulation of the zygomatic major muscle occurs. Meanwhile, the respiratory system is upset by the epiglottis half-closing the larynx, so that air intake occurs irregularly, making you gasp. In extreme circumstances, the tear ducts are activated, so that while the mouth is opening and closing and the struggle for oxygen intake continues, the face becomes moist and often red (or purple).”

The event I have described is better known as laughter. Realizing all that body goes through kinda makes you want to laugh.

These days it may be hard to laugh. It’s difficult to find what is happening in the world up lifting.
