Humor Therapist Elaine Lundberg stresses the healing power of laughter at November SCA
Elaine Lundberg, Humor Therapist, brought a fun, sometimes wacky but very poignant, presentation to the November 12, 2009 Sacramento Claims Association luncheon crowd.
She opened with a quote from “a famous person: ‘Peace begins with a smile’,” and sought out the answer to who that person was. No one got it right, though she rewarded some for trying. “It was Mother Teresa,” she said.
“How often do we laugh out loud?,” she asked the crowd rhetorically. “10-12 times a day,” she stated. “400-500 times a day the average 4 year old says ‘Ha!... You need to laugh more often.”
She worked the crowd, offering up volunteers for various exercises, and generally kept the crowd laughing, while making the point clear of the value of laughing more in our lives. “How many of you have tears rolling down your cheeks? You’re the healthiest people in the room right now,” she said.
“The more you laugh, the more you cry, the more T-cells (anti-cancer cells) you generate. Work your way up to 100 ‘ha-ha’s a day.”
She left us all healthier for having been there. “Joy & laughter are contagious. I challenge you to go out and infect the world.”
