Posted by yoga guru suneel singh on January 11, 2011 at 7:00am

LAUGHTER THERAPY IS POWERFUL ANTIDOTE FOR STRESSHave a hearty laugh at least two to three times a day, if you want to keep the doctor away. The more you laugh the longer you live. We mostly laugh at the foolish acts of others, but we must learn to laugh at ourselves. A humor is a universal language. It brings other people in and breaks down barriers. Best of all it is free and has no side effects. Finding humors in a situation and laughing freely with others can be a powerful antidote to stress.

My curiosity got the better of me a
