Laughing your way up the body

An exercise for your own self-healing is called “Laughing Your Way up the Body’. Whilst doing this exercise, it helps to keep the body moving. Once you really start laughing, it is good to stamp your feet. This action will help prevent you from getting too light-headed. Note: It is important that the voice is not strained in this exercise. ‘Huh’ Stand with your feet apart and shoulders relaxed. Place your hands on or near your hips. Bounce your body by lifting your heels. On the out breath, vocalise a series of rapid ‘huh’ sounds (as in the word hug). Feel your abdominal muscles tightening as you make the sound. Focus the sound in your hip/pelvic area. Rest. ‘Ho’ Place your hands on or near your belly. Bounce your body by lifting your heels. On the out breath, vocalise a series of rapid ‘ho’ sounds (as in the word holy). Feel your abdominal muscles tightening as you make the sound. Focus the sound in your belly area. Rest. ‘Ha’ Place your hands on or near your chest. Bounce your body by lifting your heels. On the out breath, vocalise a series of rapid ‘ha’ sounds (as in the word happy). Focus the sound in your chest/heart area. Feel your heart muscles vibrating with the sound. Rest. ‘Heh’ Place your hands on or near your throat. Bounce your body by lifting your heels. On the out breath, vocalise a series of rapid ‘heh’ sounds (as in the word heaven). Focus the sound in your throat. Rest. ‘Hee’ Bounce your body by lifting your heels. On the out breath, vocalise a series of rapid ‘hee’ sounds (as in the word heal). Raise your arms above your head as you make the sound. Focus the sound at the top of your head. Rest. Finally Using all five sounds, move from one sound to another at random, keeping the body moving. When you have finished, say: ‘I am a tower of strength without, I am a tower of strength within.’ Repeat. ‘I let all burdens fall from my shoulders, all anxieties slip from my mind.’ Repeat. ‘I let every shackle be loosened, I let every shackle be loose.’ Repeat.
