Their approach towards life changes positively. Mind related diseases like anxiety, depression, nervous breakdowns and sleeplessness are on the rise. Laughter has benefited many people who were on heavy tranquilizers and sleeping pills. Now they are getting better sleep and their depression has reduced. People with suicidal tendencies have started living with more hope.
Laughter therapy is one of the finest anti-stress measures.
It is ideally suited for today's stress ridden lifestyle. It can be compared to any form of meditation or relaxation. To achieve the desired end through meditation, one has to put in a concerted effort to completely detach oneself, on mental and emotional levels, from one's own feelings and thought process, as well as from the physical world to prevent distractions. On the other hand, while laughing, we do not have any conscious thought process and all our senses naturally and effortlessly combine in a moment of harmony, to give joy, peace and relaxation. In other types of meditation you need to concentrate a lot to take your mind away from distracting thoughts, which is easier said than done.
