 Lynn,
Bedford, KY
Hello Julie, Just want to let you know how I am
doing since taking your video course on QT. With
the help of QT have been able to reduce greatly
the amount of pain that I have in my back. I
still do take pain medication but a lot less and
some days none! What a difference it has made in
my life! Also QT has enabled me to relax. When I
start getting stressed and anxious I just stop,
take a deep breath, and "go" to my peaceful
place. Every time I start running energy I can
feel all the tension go away. Once again, Thank
You for this marvelous gift. Sincerely,
Lynn

And after the class I attended in August I had a
chance to use Quantum-Touch®. On
Tuesday two co-workers and I were returning from
lunch when one of the women, who I will call
Nancy, slipped on an unseen spot of grease on
the hallway floor, causing her to twist her
ankle and land very hard on one knee. After
helping Nancy up from the floor I assisted her
in walking the very short distance to her office
where I asked her to be seated. I performed a
quick assessment of Nancy's knee and ankle and
found both to be red and beginning to swell so I
asked Nancy to gauge her pain on a scale of 1-10
and she replied "a 7." I began running energy
into my hands and performed Quantum-Touch®
on her knee during which both she and I felt
several movements within the structures in the
knee. Nancy commented that she felt movement in
her knee even though I was just lightly touching
her with my hands. I then subsequently ran
energy into Nancy's ankle were movement was
again felt. After applying Quantum-Touch for 15
minutes to the affected areas we observed that
the redness and swelling had reduced in both
areas and Nancy reported that her pain was now a
"2." Nancy declined my suggestion of her seeking
medical attention for her injuries so I checked
on her 2 hours later to see how she was. Nancy
told me she was fine, that she had felt some
additional movement in her knee and ankle, and
that the redness and swelling were now
completely gone. -

Fix
Your Funny Bone . . . by Barbara Haines |

 When
my phone rang one afternoon a couple weeks ago,
I had no idea what was about to land in my lap.
Julie asked, “Have you ever heard of Laughter
Yoga?” Oddly enough I had, during a National
Public Radio broadcast about how a regiment of
U.N. troops were using it with remarkable
results in a Palestinian refugee school in
Lebanon. “Great!” she said, “There’s a class
that starts in three days in Chicago—want to
go?”
Well, I must have been a dog in a past lifetime
because all anyone has to do is ask me if I want
to go for a ride somewhere and in the car I
jump! Apparently, Julie had figured that out,
because we were soon headed north on our little
adventure to become Certified Laughter Yoga
Leaders.
Laughter Yoga was developed about fifteen years
ago in India by
Dr. Madan Kataria, a physician who started
out to write an article about the health
benefits of humor. Inspired by the results of
his research for the article, he started a
‘Laughter Club’ in a local park—basically, a
group of people getting together to do nothing
but laugh for 15 minutes. By the end of two
weeks, his group of four had grown considerably
but they hit a snag: they ran out of jokes.
Plus, it was obvious that not everybody reacted
to any particular joke the same way; some
weren’t so amused, some were even offended.
Discouraged, Dr. Kataria went home and told his
wife, a yoga instructor, about the situation.
First, she told him he needed to add breathing
exercises to his program, then gentle movements.
Oh, and forget about the jokes. Just laugh. What
an idea! Just laugh with no joke? Well, it
worked. So well, that there are now over 5,000
Laughter Clubs worldwide and people everywhere
are laughing their way to wellness!
Unlike standard yoga that can take years to
perfect, everyone knows how to laugh. We just
don’t do enough of it. Laughter Yoga uses no
‘postures’, just breathing, laughing, and
movement (all of which can be done seated). We
had a great time learning this method, and by
the end of the second day everyone was really
into the idea of having been given permission to
be silly and enjoy life again.
What Dr. Kataria discovered was that even when
you “pretend” to laugh, the brain releases
endorphins and starts the cascade of
neuro-peptides that create all the positive
health benefits, just as if you were reacting to
an actual joke or amusing event. The movements,
(which can be as simple as walking), integrate
the idea of having fun into your muscle memory,
while the breathing helps to release old
tensions and anxieties. Taken together, it’s an
easy prescription to fill, and one you can take
with you anywhere.
In fact, weeks later, I’m still smiling for no
reason! -Barbara
