Interview: Laughter Yogi Vishwa Prakash
Download MP3Father Dave sits down and has a laugh with “laughter yogi” Vishwa Prakash. Vishwa is the Head of the North American office of Laughter International, an organization of 10,000 active clubs worldwide that promotes spiritual, physical, and psychological well-being through the practice of laughter yoga. (Originally aired: 08/21/09)
I love this interview and I am a hearty laugher. Actually, I don’t laugh loudly, but I know that humor is a good thing. St. Benedict talks about how we should not give ourselves over to boisterous laughter, but I think it was something else he was warning against. I have heard laughter that derides and degrades without the use of words that seems harmful. But laughter that is innocent and full of joy feels wonderful to me and I don’t see how this kind of laughter can do anything but create an environment for healing to occur
