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.

That’s the best advice I’ve heard today! My father always said “never lose your sense of humour dear”. He passed at nearly 90yrs. They say laughter is the best medicine 🙏🏾❤️
Dear Matt Frazer thank you for this most interesting blog in fact I believe that in the UK there exists the “University of Laughter” no joke ! I had an explosive bout of laughter once at work I was interviewing a lady who for some reason had set me off laughing however the problem was that I just could not stop to the point that it became painful with tears running down my cheeks worst if all the while room of colleagues also began to laugh a d I thought that I would be thrown out of that work this luckily was not the case luckily as the laughter was not instigated by me but the respondant! At one point I thought I was going to die it was terrible. I luckily managed to regain composure and even completed that interview.
My husband was the one who always made me laugh
So true I try to laugh as much as I can with my friends and family
How did you know I was feeling down? Something is heavy and I haven’t been able to clear it. Thanks for the love, praying always for you and your beautiful family ❤️
Hard when your on your own and don’t see anyone!
Hi Matt.
Thank you so much for your inspiring advice. You always come through when I or someone is feeling down. May Almighty God bless you very much. You are a great soul and have sweet blood.
Thank you Matt! It’s so true and I thank God for my husband! We are best friends. We not only love each other, very much, but we LIKE each other. We balance each other. We have friends that we know love each other but they have stated that they don’t like each other. To my husband and myself, we feel so bad for them. Laughter is contagious and absolutely wonderful! I miss my mom and my brother. They always were good for a real belly laugh! 😂💗🙏 I believe God sent my husband to me for my remaining years so I may laugh to the other side someday! Love and prayers for you and your beautiful family. 🦋💗🙏
Dear Matt, You’re so right that your message couldn’t have been sent at a better time! It is a great reminder to add some laughter back into our lives and not to take life or ourselves overly serious. I have 2 of your books in my audible library and have listened to both so many times; while driving, going to sleep, doing housework…so uplifting! Thanks for being you – Best Medium Ever! Bless you! Keep up the LOL’s 🙂 All the best, Brenda
YES!
When are you coming to England? Xxx
Thank you Matt. It means a lot. I will practice it.
Thank you Matt. Your message has been so much helpful I am passing through a very difficult time of my life . My beloved husband of 40 years passed away due to cardiac arrest on 28/7 / 2024 He was a very good ,healthy ,and spiritual person. I participated in two group readings but his soul did not come through . Me and children miss him so much
Thank you for your message Matt. My dad just passed in August and things have not been going well since then. I am constantly stressed, drained and upset. I talk to friends which has helped, but maybe I need a good laugh. I will take your advice. 🙂
That’s such a lovely message!
Thank you, Matt! 👐🏼🧡
Yes I need to laugh again, thank you.
Hi Matt, thank you so much . I enlisted for a private reading but I understand it will take a long time . I am from Sweden so I can’t attend any of your live events . I guess I have to wait until you come here or to Ireland where I have my second home . Thanks . DeeF
Thanks Matt I needed to read this.. I also think that every once in a while you just need to cry.. It clears my thoughts and gives me clarity.. I have been to your on line reading now three times with no luck. I can’t afford to attend any more do to the holidays coming..
Thanks for reminding me the importance of laughter. I had such a hard life that sometimes I forget how laughter has helped me go though tough times in the past.
I’ve been really sad 😢 I haven’t talked to my son for over two years and his daughters. His wife wants nothing to do with me! I’ve tried everything..they even sent back Birthday cards. I’ve apologize to them if I did anything wrong etc. I miss him so much. My husband and I don’t have other children and they live 4 states away. It’s hard to be around friends who are happy and doing things with their children and grandchildren. It’s hard to laugh or be happy. My parents and my husband parents are passed. We have family but they are busy with their families. I feel so lost 😞. Thanks for listening.
Matt, God spoke to me when I was 13 and told me one of my parents just died I sat wondering is it mom, is it dad. That evening my dad came home by himself. I heard God at 11:05 pm, my dad came in the door at 11:21. Years later giving birth to my twins I so badly wished my mother was there. She was!! My twins were born at 11:05 and the second one born at 11:21. Unusual for twins to be born 16 minutes apart. I knew at that very moment it was my mothers way of letting me know, she was there. What a gift!!!
Hi Dearest Matt! I need to connect with you about our daughter 💕 Anna Marie Teal! ASAP_ once I find another job with steady hours- soon I will sign up for online reading. I am sad every day for Anna and my husband Joseph (Terry) Love Ellen Teal
But what can be done when a person is suffering from depression….and lives alone….and has no close friends?
I would love that, I will also try to have a good laugh, sure need one. It’s been a long time.
Well everything is right like you said, I was one of those people who always laughing all the time, I always was joking around. But I can’t right now because of my son transition, he left this physical world 3 months ago.💔😢
Matt, I love this blog. My late husband was known for his humor and his story telling! He loved it when he could make me laugh so hard that I was in tears. It truly is something I miss in my life. Our daughter’s and I do our best to honor his memory and laugh whenever we are together. Sometimes one of us will make a joke or say something funny and we think this is something he would have said.
I feel your writing in my soul! Thank you for opening my eyes!
Dear Matt~ I am miserable. I lost my significant other of 14 yrs, Tommy(Thomas Shawn Connolly)Dec 21, ’23 from cancer. All I do is cry. Having an extremely tough time. He was my everything. I’m so lost without him. 💔 I see my kids w/ their spouses & wish he was here w/ me. My heart hurts. Please help me. 😢
I would love to hear from my Mom and Dad , this isn’t the best time, love your readings.
Thank you Matt, as always you’re helping the world every time you speak. God may have given you some challenges in life but man he sure has given you some amazing gifts that you are truly using to the best of your ability.
We can tell your words are from your heart and from above 🤣🤣.
Always look forward to hearing from you whether it’s emails videos on TV in person or reading your new book.
God graced us with your beauty
Sending love your way ❤️👍🤗👏
Thank you so much Matt. Laughter is really what I need now. After losing my son a few years ago and not knowing what truly happened. It’s always on my mind.
I enjoy reading about sprits and love ones u help them connect too. It makes me feel joy to know heaven is as beautiful as I imagined it. I have some I wish to connect to. Tammy best friend and Bill my love and my baby Angie that died at 30 days old. I will keep listening to u Matt. Thank u
Matt I have bought tickets twice now to an online show . I can’t afford much . My life has been full of sadness and pain . It seems I have fought so much I’m tired . I’m lost and have been since my mother passed . We had just started talking again and I was to go get her and was a day late she died unexpectedly . I feel it’s cause I was late.
i need your help please
After Mom passed in April I started binge watching the Flintstones. They do make me laugh. Still tuning in and having a yabba dabba do time.
I truly believe laughter can help heal us and our wounds. Every time I experience a deep down, belly laugh,,,I feel so much lighter and have less aches and pains for hours following! It is our body’s natural recovery system that reminds us (subconsciously maybe?) that it feels so good because so many feel-good chemicals are secreted and is better than any artificial substance to help us heal!
Thank you Matt.
I have recently been struggling with a background check to start a job and this is just a reminder to keep it light and trust our angels. Thanks again.
It would be great if you came to north Whibty. As a senior I don’t do night driving. I know you would have fun with me.
Hi Matt. I have seen you 3 times in Las Vegas and twice on your group readings. While I’ve never been chosen for a personal reading, I enjoy every minute. I cry, I laugh, and my heart is full for everyone who hears from their loved ones. I wish you and your beautiful family a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thank you for all you do for everyone. Hugs to all.
I will see you next year!
I will be at your Rohnert Park event. My husband passed on June 12, 2024. I miss him. Last time I saw you live you channeled my father. It was amazing. Ironically, my dad and husband passed in the same room.
i would love te you but live in uk england but i do enjoy your blogs and videos
Please if you can reach out to me. You had some zoom private readings available and I tried and tried and could not connect. Of course I am not a tech wizard either. If somehow you have any, pls let me know. I have tried many times on regular zoom and once in Detroit. I feel like Matt is my ONLY person that may be able to help me.
Thank You

Hi Matt
My family and I will be attending our fourth group reading on November 29,2024. We are looking forward to having our relatives come through.
The movie, Princess Bride, always brings laughter when I watch it. Comedian George Carlin is always good for a laugh.
Thank you so much my mom passed away 2011 from cancer, and to watch her go through that is a mental image forever in my brain. The funeral home made my mom look like my mom and my son was like I want to go with my nana. And he passed away in 2012. My mom passed on the 24 of November on Thanksgiving my son passed away in January he turned 21 on the 27 of January I got to see him dance for the first time he told me he loved me on my birthday on my birthday 28 and he was gone on the 29. My mom came to me in a dream and said thank you and I woke up saying you welcome I knew it was her voice, but when my mom comes to me My son be with her and he never says anything.
You are SO right, Matt! Laughter is so key in MY life that I ended up marrying an actual comedian! Go figure!
I live in Prescott, AZ. Is there any chance you could book a gig at the Performance Center at Yavapai College? That’s our local community college. That would be such a hoot! I’d show up “with bells on!”
By the way, I’m originally a 2nd generation Italian American from Connecticut and I love you like CRAZY! (no worries, my husband understands) 😉
Yes Matt that is true. The hardest things is my wife passed away September 1. We been married since 2009. It’s just so painful cause. I feel alone and empty. I been by her side even when her Diabetes got worse. She was on a ventilator. And they took her off sedation first so I I can talk to her one last time. The Pa Physician Assistant came and asked her is this your Husband. She smiled. And I held her hand through it all. The painful thing I seen her take her last breath. The ICU nurse said Kudos to me cause I been their the hold entire time. Our marriage was like that everywhere she was I was. She would call me to make sure I’m ok. And I would call her to make sure she’s ok. I still feel terrible. But the Hospital said theirs nothing I could have done any different to change the outcome. They said her body was shutting down. She had type 2 Diabetes. And they said the main cause was Acute Respiratory failure. And then Congestive heart failure. And then her kidneys were going out. It’s just so painful. I really miss her. She the only one in life gave me a chance. I honestly have no friends. I have people that are acquaintance. She was pregnant 2013. But lost it. She told me before she left this world she wanted to have one child and I wanted be a dad. She was so rare too me. It hurts so bad. But in August she told me her virtue like she knew she was going to go. This grief is painful I’m trying but it’s hard. I thought I heard her from the other side. I don’t know but sometimes I can see outer spirit. Or I feel a presence sometimes
Yes I’d love that my husband passed away before my 2 girls and I knew it so there’s a lot of questions that weren’t answered and he was out back bone and I ve been lost since the day he’s passed ..
I’m just finding out that laughter has been my best healing when I laugh I feel so good and out of my depression.i feel human again I feel connected to the world again
