The Swinging Laughter Group

Swinging Laughter is a fun group laughter therapy activity that helps people improve their sense of well-being.

It should be done in a group, and all members must form a wide circle. All the members move outwards by two meters to widen the circle.

On cue from the facilitator, all people in the circle should move forward while making a prolonged sound of Ae Ae Aeeeee and simultaneously raise their hands up and burst into laughter once they meet at the center and wave their hands.

After the bout of laughter, they move back to their original position and do the same procedure, but this time using the sound Oh Oh Ooooooooooo.

On cue from the facilitator, the second time, all people in the circle should move forward while making a prolonged sound of Oh Oh Ooooooooooo and burst into laugh. Repeat the two procedures several times so that contagious laughter appears in the group.

This activity helps to reduce inhibition and shyness and to turn simulated laughter into unconditional laughter.

Also, according to the principles of yoga, laughter gives a constant massage to the digestive tract and also improves blood supply to all the internal organs. It stimulates blood circulation, which helps to transport nutrients all over the body, and it also strengthens our respiratory apparatus, which supplies oxygen to the body.
