Phillip & Holly Laugh Their Way Through Lockdown | This Morning

Then, as we approach our seventh week of

lockdown

, we're looking for a remedy for our self-isolation blues - but the answer might actually be one night with a bit of luck, according to one

laugh

ter yoga guru, a good Laughter not only provides a complete workout for your muscles but unleashes an avalanche of stress that destroys endorphins, so get ready as Louise Gates shows us the best methods to make us

laugh

and Louise, it's a pleasure to see you again, welcome back and we must say you know

this

is not some nonsense that "I just made up, I mean you are qualified in

this

, in fact you are currently studying a PhD in laughter yoga, so just explain what it is, so laughter yoga "Laughter is a mix of yoga and laughter scientists, we are bringing yogic breathing to us." Re tela, which is originally a kind of fake laugh, but soon it becomes super real and very authentic, so this is something that really helped you, isn't it?

Oh, I mean, I used to suffer from crippling anxiety in the past and, for me, laughter. It had this amazing effect of getting me out of the left side of my brain, so that analytical side of overthinking that I'm sure a lot of us are in right now and laughter just gets me out of there and onto my right side. a brain created the vulnerable side and I'm the first to admit laugh Jager, it's that strange, it's something really new and different to be vulnerable and go into that, but it's not me whether you're anxious or suffer from depression as do you make yourself laugh, why laugh?

Laughing is the one thing you really don't want to do when you're in a bad place. Yes, it is very important. We don't leave laughter to chance. We do it intentionally and it can be really. tough and I'll be the first to say I'm not saying laugh, you know, that's for sure. I think it's a great adult approach to other methods, so, for example, in my own experience, for me, medication, I'm laughter yoga together. It's been amazing, others sometimes it's just

their

medications, other people are different, so just finding what works for you and if we can get it to where we can laugh, I think it could be really wonderful in terms of transformation, well, I'm just seeing some of the benefits. here about laughing and it actually relaxes the whole body and it is a relaxation that lasts after the laughter, yes, yes, that is why at the end of the sessions we do the laughter meditation to really connect us because it has such an uplifting effect as In a high, as we would call it, you get a rush of endorphins, so we do the laughter meditation at the end to ingrain that feeling and then people leave a session for the next day or two until the next session they have.

It's good to have that feeling and a relaxed nervous system, so the anxiety levels are much lower, that's why they started in India in 1995 by Dr. Matt and Qatari now they're just showing what was why that started, what was the doctors idea because he says that he claims that there are profound psychological and physiological benefits, also laughter, yes, I think they noticed in

their

medical practice their patients who joke more or watch comedies would need less anesthesia, their recovery would be much faster and I have realized that in my job I am a registered nurse and in the hospital the patients I can laugh with. with whom and with whom we can make jokes and humor about the situation, recovery can sometimes be a much more pleasant experience for them, well, it boosts their immune system, it's also a form of exercise, really, and we laugh a lot. working out every day for the last ten years and I haven't figured out exactly why you think I'm so skinny that I should have abs of steel.

I'm obviously laughing in the wrong place. In fact, people laugh. Some people really, many. hot and some people laugh, you know, not much sound comes out when I laugh, it's kind of like if I need to laugh more and more rarely to catch my breath, I always tell people, homie fester, dr. Yeager try to hold your belly if you can because then you know that when your belly moves, we laugh in the right place and we give all the oxygen to someone, so there's a place to write abroad singing, yeah, and we're not the only people. that laugh I mean, I mean people, animals laugh too, what animals do you know that love rats, rats love rap, the other day he threw his head back, he was roaring with love, rolling rat, which ones were the others, there were rats, there were rooms, yes, apes? parrots parrots laughing oh boy laughing the air is coming imitating you're just imitating someone else's laugh I'm going to have you guys do that actually okay let's do a little bit of that now let's do some exercises here we go probably like yesterday okay and if everyone at home does this.

I think that would be a really nice thing to do, so we just do a very normal deep breath and to start with we do two of them to get a good maximum inhalation, you close your eyes if you want and one exhalation we're going to do one more, but this Maybe I want you to take the deepest breath you've ever taken so far today, so a nice big inhale, perfect, so you can feel that in your hands, yes, your bellies are coming. expanding so now we're going to jump right into the laughter breathing so this is a more fun way to do an eye assessment exercise so we inhale raising our arms but on the exhale we're just going to let out a lot. so just a nice yeah okay sorry I don't understand this which is good because it was fake to start with the materials make all the beautiful sarees okay I didn't find that one that was fun okay let me try again if you want.

We are fake laughs or real laughs, so that's the laughter of a meter, so we love a meter. Oh, and then what about what the following imitate? Yeah, I think it's a really great way to connect with other people on current connections. I need more so this is something I do with friends quite often or even strangers sometimes so if I like someone's laugh I ask them to laugh and I will imitate it so if Holly maybe you would like to laugh, I'll do it for you. do that and what about the teeth laugh pattern teeth laugh fail with this one so we try to keep our teeth together while laughing yeah right what does it do?

It simply makes us aware of our breathing and usually triggers a more authentic feeling. Life will come to light so we'll try to keep challenging like I said and when she does she makes you feel good and you know what I have to say. Sometimes when we laugh here, it takes me a long time to come back. It's like a long time later I feel what I describe as dizzy panties because suddenly everything is fun, yeah, and you can't go back to normal. It's like laughing in church, yeah, yeah, and maybe it's those endorphins you were talking about.

About what I said, I'm the first to admit that it's unusual, it's strange, it's something really new, but you guys feel like you're making a great example of it, as it sounds really funny, Dennis, if you're new at home too. I already sent us your photos. Oh your videos. You can send us a video. Thank you so much. Take care of yourself.
