Today,
We celebrate laughter.
Take a deep breath with me and feel your chest rise.
Now exhale,
Letting go of seriousness.
We can be so serious as adults.
We're going to tune in to the vibrant energy of our little child who's always with us,
Remembering the times we had great laughter and joy and celebration and fun.
Laughter is medicine for the soul.
It lightens energy,
It opens hearts,
And it reminds us that the joy,
Too,
Is sacred.
Give yourself permission to play,
To smile,
To see the humor in being human.
Keeping that beautiful smile on your face,
Close your eyes,
Feel that smile radiate all the way up your cheeks.
Let it permeate in your body,
In your heart,
In your belly.
Feel this inner smile,
This inner laughter.
Slowing down your breath and just tuning in to one memory,
Maybe as a little child or could be recent,
But a time when you were overtaken by laughter.
Maybe you were watching someone,
Something that was humorous,
Part of a joke or an experience,
Or something that happened that just brought laughter,
Maybe even tears to your eyes.
Breathe that in.
Allow the space for greater joy and laughter now.
Remembering,
Tuning in to how good it feels to release seriousness,
To welcome in this energy of high joy.
Maybe even noticing your little child within you or the part of you that wants to play,
That wants to come out and have more fun.
Notice that part of you,
Embrace that part of you,
And maybe even say,
I promise I am going to make more time for laughter.
Laughter is medicine.
Slowly opening your eyes,
Find one thing to smile about today.
Notice maybe it's a silly moment,
A memory,
A burst of joy.
Let your laughter ripple through your energy field.
Let it radiate.
Let it touch everyone around you,
Healing from the inside and out.
Lightness and laughter is holy.
It's sacred.
Thank you for showing up for your USU today,
For making time for laughter and play.
I'm excited to see you tomorrow for our next intention activation.
