World Laughter Day, 7 May

And now for something completely different. Today is World Laughter Day, so for the sake of world peace, let's all join together in cyberspace and laugh out loud for absolutely no other reason than it's good for you – and scientifically proven to boost those 'happy chemicals'. Altogether now … ho, ho, ha, ha, ha.
You have just joined millions of other people doing exactly the same thing - practicising the laughter yoga mantra. For laughter yoga is sweeping the globe. Check it out on http://www.laughteryoga.org/.
Reading about the movement's new members I was struck by a club that opened in December 2005 in Israel. Within no time, Palestinians were 'jumping the wall' to join in and now Israeli and Palestinian, Muslim, Christian and Jew are laughing together. For as the movement's founder says "people who laugh together don't usually try to kill one another" – Dr Madan Kataria.

There is hope yet….J

Hello

Ho Ho Ha Ha Ha

My name is Alex Sternick and I"m the initiator of Laughter Clubs in Israel. I organized the visit of Dr Madan Kataria Laughter Yoga Founder Movement in Israel on December 2004.

I work a lot for Laughter Conflict Managaement and PeaceBuilding and i know that Nabil Sawalha has opened his Laughter Club in Amman 2 weeks ago.

The idea is stop victimizing since it is not healthy, so if we add more laughter to our life we can choosr not be victims any more.

Yes i work between jews and arabs through laughter and i would like also to speak to you maybe by skype. my id: sternik1976
