It has long been known
that laughter is good medicine, and now there is the Laughter Club, the
latest in stress-reduction therapy. Derived from yoga and supported by modern
science, the Laughter Club is a way that you can laugh your stress away.
Trevor's program is titled, "Laughing the Stress Away." He has completed
training offered by the World Laughter Tour, Inc., to become a Certified
Laughter Leader and has organized and facilitated Therapeutic Laughter Club
programs for a variety of different organizations.
Participants in the Therapeutic Laughter Program called Laughter Clubs, learn
a systematic method of chuckles, chortles, giggling and guffawing
that promises to help reduce stress, prevent hardening of the
attitudes, and contribute to world peace. The laughter routine,
designed to make everyone feel better, works without using jokes
or comedy to stimulate the laughter. Trevor utilizes a practical
application of theories that are being proved everyday. Trevor
says, "There can be sensitive issues around humor, so we skip
jokes entirely. We laugh with each other, not at each other.
At first the laughter exercise routines can seem a bit contrived,
but soon peals of genuine happiness-and-health-boosting laughter
ring out and roll on."
