Humor is such great medicine. When we understand law of attraction, we understand that well-being has everything to do with fun, laughter, humor, love, enthusiasm and joy.

People who have cancer and other chronic (emotional & physical) illnesses have laughed their way back into well-being.

Galen, an early Greek physician, who practiced in Rome (A.D. 129-199), was the first recorded medical person to talk about humor and its power to heal. He used laughter and humor to treat the sick wife of a Roman aristocrat and she recovered. (Greenwood-Robinson, Maggie, PhD. 20 / 20 Thinking. p 104-105. NY: Avery, Putnam Special Markets, 2003.).

Norman Cousins, in his great book Anatomy of an Illness, used humor to trigger a release of endorphins that elevated his mood and brought total remission of his disease. Candace Pert, discusses this in her great book Molecules of Emotion. (Pert, Candace, PhD.Molecules of Emotion. p 167. NY, Scribner, 1997.)

It is nice to include the work of scientists to explain this and at the same time, we can just experiment on ourselves. When we have a great laugh, we feel better, it’s just that simple. It is natural to feel good always. That is who we really are, one big bundle of loving energy.

Here is a wonderful clip by Abraham-Hicks that has several incidences of moments of laughter in it.

Video here: ABRAHAM HICKS Ask And It Given FUNNY

These are my greatest teachers in understanding law of attraction.

They are the creators of our emotional guidance system.

Following this clip is another video that left me watching it over and over again because it was so funny. I actually saw this hilarious video when only 20,000 people had viewed it. Today as of this writing it has over 51,000,000 views.

Your medicine for today.

And may each day be full of moments that leave you laughing and KNOWING that life is truly meant to be enjoyed with fun and laughter Fun and laughter are “MUST HAVES” in order to BE HAPPY.

Only watch this if you are ready to laugh right out loud
