How to Start a Laughter Club in Your Area
�
Find a place in your locality where people can assemble early in the morning when they go for a walk. It can either be a public garden, a ground or a beach. The advantage of selecting such a place is that you can combine your laughter therapy session with your morning walk. You may have a laughing session of about 15-20 minutes duration and then proceed with your walk. Also, it is easier to gather a large number of people at such places. The chosen place should not be in the immediate vicinity of residential complexes so as to prevent disturbance to others. It is not advisable to have such sessions in residential premises, either.
�
The ideal time to start a laughing session is between 6a.m. and 7a.m. Small adjustments can be made in the starting time according to the convenience of the participants. "The advantage of laughing in the morning," according to Dr. Kataria, "is that 20 minutes of laughter in the morning keeps you in good spirits throughout the day. It energizes your body and charges you with happiness." Morning walks and laughter therapy sessions are complementary to each other and the benefits of both can be experienced together, at the same place and time of the day. Moreover, pollution levels are lowest in the morning and this ensures a good supply of relatively fresh air.
�
Kataria advises anyone wishing to start a laughter club in India to organize a group of at least 25 people (the larger the number of people, the easier it is to laugh) and then get in touch with him. He then organizes a team of experts who go to that location for a demonstration of various techniques of "Laughter Therapy" and to train some persons from the group as "Anchor Persons" (facilitators/leaders) who give the instructions that initiate the different kinds of laughter.
