Seagle doesn't see humor and laughter as always a physical outbreak of laughter. Seagle gleans ideas for activities from life's comic possibilities. Watching a Mr. Universe body-builder contest on TV, Seagle wondered why the contestants were exhausted at the end of very short routines. So he added it to his workshops. Participants stand and try five to ten poses with Seagle demonstrating, then coaching and cheering them on.
People find they're calmer, their bodies are warmer, and they've had a good time.
Beyond these immediate physical effects, humor benefits overall health. There is increasing evidence that humor affects everything in the body, especially the immune system. Including humor and stress reduction in daily life means finding the little things to do in the office or home that are enjoyable. Maybe that's relaxing with Hawaiian music because you so enjoy Hawaii, or juggling, or playing with a slinky. It can be something simple that only takes a few minutes, is free and does not require props, like tapping you head with your fingertips.
