Why and How of Laughing Meditation
Laughing is the mediation that everyone is already practicing.
You loose your boundaries when you laugh, and you connect to your source.
You loosed your sense of self when you possessed by the laughter.
If you observe yourself, you will realize that you can not laugh and think at the same time.
When you are laughing suddenly, you will experience the moment when thought is no longer possible. You experience No Mind
The laughter we are talking about is not giggling, or half-hearted laughter.
It is a beautiful, expensive laughter, laughter that fills your being and overflows from you.
It is laughter for no reason. Actually, you always start laughing for some reason.But once you start the laughter takes hold of you. Then you laugh simply because you are laughing. That’s all. Just the joy of laughing keeps you laughing. You are not even aware of that. The Japanese monk Quieci was known as a laughing Buddha. His whole spiritual message could be condensed into a single act: Laughing. He would wonder from place to place, stand in public places and simply begin to laugh with a roaring, belly laugh. His whole body would be shaking with laughter. The laughter would spread from him and spread all around in a great wave of energy. And his laughter was so infectious that the whole town will be laughing with him. The whole town will be blessed with laughter. Without techniques, without effort, without even being aware of it, an entire town will glimpse the state of no mind,
What a supreme meditation technique, laughter is. Every morning, first thing upon waking, stretch yourself as a baby. Have you notices babies stretching when they wake up after sleep? Stretch this way and that, bend and twist your body, feel every muscle being stretched, then without opening your eyes, begin to laugh, At first, it will be a bit of an effort. But soon real laughter will bubble up from inside you. If nothing else, just your coming attempts at laughter will be enough to make you really laugh. Once the laughter takes you over, just let go, there is no duration, Laugh till you are tired of laughing. As you progress, you will be able to sustain laughter longer and longer. The Buddha has said that if one can laugh continuously for just 45 minutes, one can become enlightened. Just 45 minutes of laughing. So laugh as long as you can. You will find the energy to keeping on laughing surging up inside you Long after you finish laughing, The waives of laughter will still be there inside you, just beneath the surface.
Just a few minutes of morning laughter can transform your whole day. You can do this meditation with a g group of friends, or your family, or just by yourself, Sit around in a relaxed way and ask someone to crack a joke and let laughter fill your being.
