You know that feeling when you laugh so hard your stomach hurts and tears stream down your face? That’s not just a good time – it’s a full-body, soul-deep healing experience. And let me tell you, it’s more powerful than most people realize.
I’ve spent years connecting with souls on the other side, and if there’s one thing they all seem to agree on, it’s the importance of laughter. It’s not just about having fun (though that’s certainly part of it). Laughter is a vital force that can lift our spirits, heal our bodies, and even help us navigate life’s toughest challenges.
Now, you might be thinking, “Matt, how can something as simple as laughing really make that much of a difference?” Well, let me share a story that might change your mind:
I once did a reading for a man whose wife had passed away after a long battle with illness. He was struggling to find any joy in life without her. But during our session, his wife came through with a surprising message. She showed me an image of the two of them laughing hysterically in their kitchen, covered in flour. “Does this mean anything to you?” I asked him.
The man’s eyes lit up. “That was the night we tried to bake a cake for our anniversary,” he explained. “Everything went wrong, and we ended up in a flour fight. It was the hardest we’d laughed in years.”
His wife wanted him to know that those moments of shared laughter were what she treasured most from their life together. She urged him to find reasons to laugh again, assuring him that doing so wouldn’t dishonor her memory – it would celebrate it.
So, how exactly does laughter heal the soul? Here are a few ways:
Stress Relief: Laughter releases endorphins, our body’s natural feel-good chemicals. This physical reaction has an impact on our souls, minds and bodies, of course, helping reduce stress and anxiety and allowing our souls to feel lighter and more at peace.
Connection: Shared laughter creates bonds between people. It’s a universal language that can bridge gaps and bring us closer together. Connection is key to healing.
Perspective: Humor helps us see things from a different angle. It can make our problems seem smaller and more manageable.
Physical Health: Believe it or not, laughter can boost our immune system, improve our cardiovascular health, and even help manage pain.
Emotional Healing: Laughter can help us process and release difficult emotions in a healthy way. This is the function of humor in human culture.
Spiritual Growth: Finding humor in life’s challenges can be a form of spiritual practice, helping us stay positive and resilient in the face of adversity.
Now, I’m not saying you need to be a comedian or laugh all the time. Life has its serious moments, and it’s okay to feel sad, angry, or scared. All emotions should be healthily incorporated in your life to live a balanced existence – but incorporating more laughter into your daily life can have amazing benefits for your soul.
Here are some simple ways to bring more laughter into your life:
- Watch funny movies or TV shows
- Spend time with people who make you laugh
- Try laughter yoga (yes, it’s a real thing!)
- Look for the humor in everyday situations
- Share jokes or funny stories with friends and family
- Don’t take yourself too seriously – learn to laugh at your own mistakes
Remember, laughter is contagious. When you laugh, you’re not just healing your own soul – you’re spreading that healing energy to others around you, which has the result of making you even happier as you connect with others!
In my work, I’ve seen how unresolved issues and heavy emotions can weigh on souls, even after they’ve passed on. But I’ve never encountered a soul who regretted laughing too much or finding joy in life’s simple pleasures.
So, I challenge you: Make laughter a priority in your life. Look for opportunities to smile, giggle, or have a good belly laugh. It might feel silly at first, especially if you’re going through a tough time. But trust me, your soul will thank you for it.
And the next time you find yourself laughing uncontrollably over something silly, remember – you’re not just having a good time. You’re actually engaging in some serious soul healing. So laugh on, beautiful souls. It’s good for you in more ways than you know.
