Today, the first Sunday in May, is
World Laughter Day. First celebrated in 1998 in Mumbai India, the celebration is a
"positive manifestation for world peace and is intended to build up a global consciousness of brotherhood and friendship through laughter". The founder is also accredited with forming "Laughter Yoga". The idea behind laughter yoga is that the body doesn't differentiate between real and fake laughter and therefore the benefits are the same. Today I went to Yoyogi Park to partake in the laughing celebration. I tend to think the Japanese are very guarded with their emotions, especially in public. It was fun to see so much laughter and silliness!
