Joy as a Spiritual Practice - COMING SOON
Joy as your Sadhana. Sadhana is an ego-transcending spiritual practice.
In these very serious times as we face death, death of the old structure, old identities, you might believe this is no laughing matter.The healing power of laughter and light-hearted play helps us face death, the death of the ego, so that we may bring balance and healing. Healing means, “restoring wholeness,” and the transformational nature of humor gives us balance and perspective.
“Laughter is medicine.” We’ve heard it so often; it’s almost a cliché. To go a bit deeper, laughter is “medicine” in the Native American sense … a form of magic that can transmute suffering into insight, rigidity into flexibility, separation into connection. As an alchemical (or we might say, all-comical) tool, humor has the power to heal the heart and free the mind.
Wholehearted hearty laughter naturally kindles joy. Simply laughing — even if there’s nothing funny to laugh at — actually creates healthier brain chemistry.
When we break the spell of seriousness with a liberating explosion of laughter, we become the observer of our own lives once again. We recognize we are not our story. Humor can liberate us from personal and societal trances of separation, powerlessness, victimhood, greed, and fear that keep us from genuine freedom.
The essence of freedom is to live and love fearlessly, to live, love, and laugh with all our heart.
“Perhaps this conditioning to seriousness is why the world is in such a serious condition. Perhaps to get to both the “ha ha” that is the punchline to life, and the “aha” we get when we awaken in the wake of cosmic laughter, we need to look at life itself as a journey to “fool realization.”
