  Speaker 1: Now, Mikey, I'm still just getting to know you, but
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I do believe that you like you like a laugh.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I just haven't heard like a cackle, like a hyena
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: cackle from here before.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: I do like a laugh, but it's got to be warranted,
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: a warranted laugh. Yeah, I'm not going to laugh at
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: What about laughter for wellness? I don't believe in wellness.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: I don't believe in woo woo.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I don't believe in anything spiritual.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: So I know what you're doing here, Brooklyn. I think
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: that you and I are going to.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Throw anything like I laugh, these random things and new
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: experiences in life.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: So then strap yourself in.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: It's more open than I.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Oh well, we have such a treat because joining us
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: in this studio, Sharon at Gambrell from Laughter Yoga, Sydney
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: is with us.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Hello Sharon, good morning everbody.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: So this is a thing, Yeah.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: This is a thing. Yes? Yes? What is what is
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: laughter yoga? Who? When did it become a thing? So
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: it became a thing around thirty years ago?
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Thirty one years ago and murebi In, a medical doctor,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: was researching the health benefits of laughter for his patients.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: He found that when they were happy and in good spirits,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: they would recover faster from their surgery from their medical treatment.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: And he was looking at expanding on that. So his
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: wife is a yoga teacher, and they took three friends
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: to a park in Mumbai and they told jokes first
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: thing in the morning, and after two weeks of doing
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: that every day, they.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Ran out of jokes.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: So he went back to his research and he found
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: that there's an amazing system in our body that the
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: body doesn't know the difference between real and simulated or
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: intentional laughter. So what we're going to be doing is
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: intentional laughter. And and I'll warn you up a little bit.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I know we only have a quick time. I used
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: you got.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Ready to go?
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Can I say I did read? If you smile, let's
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: all smile.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, you actually feel happy.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: So the muscles in your face go up and they
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: stimulate the imntal in your brain, which is your stress responder,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: So the muscles sort of communicate with your brain. Just
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: say that you're happy, even if you're not. So the
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: premise of laughter yogurt is laughing from the inside out.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: We intentionally laughed in a group and it becomes real
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: laughter very quickly.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: On TV, but I've never done it.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So I do it a little bit differently
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: because I am sort of cynical as well. I'm not happy,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: go lucky, unhappy childhood. So I do this for my
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: health benefits.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: That is, because we may have a cynic with us
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: here in the studio.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Many male cynics. We believe, banks it companies. So I
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: primarily do corporate work and a lot of any You've
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: got a bunch of suits and a corporate suits and
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: make men that look just like you and they have
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: their arms folded and I get my whip out and
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: become school mom.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Ah okay, okay, that's another show.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and also a higher pay grade than what I'm
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: getting today.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: That's fair.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: That's fair.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: But but can you can you take us through some
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: of it?
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, So as I say, doctor Tataria found that the
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: body doesn't know the difference between real or simulated laughter.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: So if you're watching a comedian or a funny sitcom,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: that's absolutely wonderful for your health. What we do we
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: produce in doorphins from our brain and we lower our
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: stress level cortisol, which I had a sixty five percent
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: reduction here, and I was on the show catalyst, and
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: we did some salivittests before and after a laugh.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I mean working in live radio, the adrenaline skyrocketing. Yeah,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: it will be good. So let's do it, and you
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: can play along. If you're driving and listening right now,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: are you able to stand up with we can? Over can.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: So when I get a group and I'm doing a
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: one hour workshop or a thirty minute session, obviously I
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: do some physical warming up, and we do some deep
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: breathing exercises, and I do a lot of stress relief
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and stress management at the beginning, but we don't have
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: time for that. So we're just going to start with
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: some breathing exercises. So without knocking anyone, And if you're
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: listening at home and you drive, keep your hands on
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: the wheel at all times.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Please join in. If you're on a bus or a train,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: don't hit anyone in the face.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Did you see that guy in the tesla who was
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: asleep at the wheel the other day?
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Yeeah, put autopilot on.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: That's it, okay, So we're just starting, so just following along,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: and I want you to just breathe in deeply. So
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: when we're breathing deeply, we breathe in more oxygen, so
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: we still we feel more alert, yet more relaxed, and
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: that lasts for hours. So breathing in, breathing out, breath over,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: and as we breathe out. This time, I just want
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: you to do it a little chuckle on the outbreath,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: breathing in and breathing out, ha ha ha, breathing in,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: smile and breathing out.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Ha ha.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: And one more breathing in, breathing out, ha ha ha.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Now this time I want you to tighten everything, tighten
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: your face, your whole body, and then we're going to
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: let it go with the laugh. Just imagine all the stress,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: anything that you're holding onto, goes out of your body
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: and goes out of the sky, out of your body,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: so that your immune system works properly. So what we're
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: going to do is tighten everything up and then tighten
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: your face and then let it go with a laugh.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Tighten up.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: It can be any laugh you like, there's no wrong.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: One tighten up, tighten your face, breathing, let it go.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Then one more tighten up, breathing, tighten your face and
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: then let it go with a laugh. Okay, and one
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: more I want you to just as your hands go
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: up past your face, smile and as you reach up,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: imagine you're a beautiful willow tree. And this is a
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: symbolic to going with the flow of life. Ready, smile,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: breathing up and the light there, mikey and one more
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: smile breathing up, and.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: And one last one breathing in. Smile. And so what
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: you do is you got it.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Can opponents of laughter yoga, there's the laughter exercises, which,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: of course with simulated laughter or intentional laughter, it becomes
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: real in a group. If I've got twenty people or
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: one hundred people, it does become real very quickly. It's
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: breakdown the barriers. It's very good to lower your blood
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: pressure naturally.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: It helps.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: They did a study at Stanford University and they found
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: that thirty minutes on a treadmill was equivalent to ten
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: minutes of hearty laughter.
