Stressed out in a fast paced world? Try “Meditation on a rock”. This video features little Lion kitten. He’s one of our 11 week old wild kittens, born under the lavender bushes, next to our bedroom window.
Join little “Lion” kitten as he teaches us how to meditate in the midst of his rambunctious siblings. He certainly makes my heart sing! How about you?

Our healer cat, Oreo, teaches us how to de-stress.

When he was younger he used to play jokes on me, (Susan).
If he thought I was spending too many hours on the computer he would thump loudly up and down the stairs to try and drag me away from the computer to play with him – tried to get me to lighten up and play.  I miss him because he kept me laughing. Then he matured into a buddha cat.
Do you have any clown animals or healer animals in your menagerie?  We’d love to hear from you  because animals heal … they keep us de-stressed as you know!

We hope you enjoy this SIMPLE video of one very cool cat. By the way he was filmed by another cool cat.

Never let a judgmental attitude spoil an opportunity to join in with the Spirit of Mirthful Laughter.

I ask myself: “what would I do if I ever found myself in this situation?”

I can imagine it:  there am I riding the subway to work in my usual urban way, minding my own business, maybe doing the crossword, when there is a disturbance in the car.  “What a nerve.” I think to my self.  “Who is that loud guy and what’s he laughing at?” “Nothing, and he won’t even stop his laughter either, even though everyone is trying to ignore him.” “Hrmph!”

But I have to admire his courage, or… Is it joy?  In which case, I really have to admit (only to myself, of course) that I envy his lightheartedness.

My lesson:  to instantly overcome my habit of indignation, because, I suspect that this laughing man doesn’t come around too often.  And his message:  to lighten up, (as in enlightenment).  Maybe even, just a little bit.

And perhaps I have already overlooked the chance to laugh with the such a mirthful minx at nothing, and maybe on more then one occasion.  Heavens!  What a curdling thought.  That I might have been too judgmental on the occasions when fate offered me a chance to laugh. To laugh infectiously, and just because.

Knowing myself, as I have been, this is probably the case.

So, right now I swear to laugh out loud and seize the gift of mirth when I am next graced with a visit by the spirit of laughter and glee.

What about you?

This is Dr. Julian Lange, OMD, LAc. reminding you that your laughter heals – you and others.

This was sent to me by my old friend Murray Feldman, founder and director of the Vancouver Homeopathic Academy, a fine homeopath and teacher whom, I’m sure, would be right in there laughing along with this mirthful imp.

Using laughter-provoking movies to gauge the effect of emotions on cardiovascular health, researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore have shown for the first time that laughter is linked to healthy function of blood vessels. Laughter appears to cause the tissue that forms the inner lining of blood vessels, the endothelium, to dilate or expand in order to increase blood flow.

The results of the study, conducted at the University of Maryland Medical Center, were presented at the Scientific Session of the American College of Cardiology on March 7, 2005, in Orlando, Florida. Continue Reading »

In “Jour de Fete” (1949) French comic Jacques Tati dances funny as a small town postman inspired by his sense of patriotism to emulate the hyper efficient US Postal Service.  Enjoy this sweet vignette of Tati’s classy style of physical comedy.

Doesn’t his improvised Jitterbuging Lindy Fox Hopscotch Trot (or what ever it is) look like fun?  It kind of feels good doesn’t it?  He’s charming and a pleasure to watch.  Maybe he stirs up that innocent spirit of fun that made us run, jump, and skip when we were kids, just because we felt like it.

My wife, Susan Lange, reminds me that fun and play is a good thing because it puts us into a pleasure state.  Can you remember back to a time when you were so happy that you couldn’t physically contain it?  A time when your happiness just bubbled up and you “did” something physically with your body?  Maybe you “jumped for joy.”

This is the question: when was it that you last jumped for joy?  If it’s been a while, then it’s probably been too long and now’s just as good a time as any for you to spring to your feet and jump as high as you can with a loud YIPPEE!

Doesn’t that feel good?

The reason it feels good is that you can lead your mind to joy by going through the physical motions of joy.  Physical play will make you happier.  Maybe you don’t feel like it right now.  Maybe you are saying to yourself that you aren’t in the mood to jump around and play.  I’d suggest that you not listen to that voice and just pretend that you are “in the mood”, even if it feels silly.  Try it and you’ll find that even the gloomiest funk can be turned on it’s head with regular fun and play.  Even exercise (the “mature” way to play) works to improve our mood.

Isn’t it true that you do some things, “just for the fun of it”.  Maybe now’s a good time to start doing more just for fun.

My advice is to practice fun and practice play.  With practice you’ll get real good at it, maybe even become a virtuoso of fun.  And, by the way, isn’t there kind of a spiritual ring to that word “practice?”

Could a spiritual realization be found in fun and play?  Hmm….

So what do you do for the fun of it?

Let me tell you what I have been doing.

I bought myself a skate board for my 51st. birthday.  I haven’t been on one of those for 40 years.  It’s a blast, and I love it, even if my friends and family fear for the health of my bones.

I’m teaching myself to juggle.  I have no idea if I’ll ever perfect this art of levity but it’s fun anyways.

Once I wrote a 15 minute comedy skit for me and some reluctant friends to perform in front of a real live audience.  You know what?  It actually worked.  People really laughed and we were all so buzzed afterward.

The kids in our family love it when we do puppet shows for them.  We love doing this for them and then watch the shows they do for us in return.

And..

My wife Susan; she skips. She jumps up and down, spontaneously, and claps her hands with a huge grin on her face.  After all these years she still amazes me and my heart fills with love for her when she does this.  This feels extra good.

A friend of mine takes the warm freshly dried laundry from the dryer and envelops his little kids with it for a long cozy cuddle with their Daddy.  It’s a love fest and they all bond.

If you ask me, this is the memorable stuff of life.

Leave me a comment.  I would really like to know what you do for fun and how it makes you feel?
