Join Us for a Laughter Wellness Session at High Life Highland Inverness Library!

Gone are the days when libraries were hushed sanctuaries; today, they are vibrant community hubs filled with activity and joy. As part of the Walking and Wheeling Festival 2025, we invite you to experience a unique and uplifting Laughter Wellness session designed to bring joy and well-being to all participants.

​

Benefits of Laughter:

Laughter is a powerful tool for enhancing both mental and physical health. Engaging in regular laughter can:

• Boost the Immune System: Laughter increases the production of antibodies and activates immune cells, improving your body's resistance to illnesses. ​
• Reduce Stress: A hearty laugh decreases stress hormones like cortisol, leading to a more relaxed state. ​
• Enhance Mood: Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals, promoting an overall sense of well-being. ​
• Alleviate Pain: It can act as a natural painkiller by releasing endorphins that diminish the perception of pain.

Session Overview:

Our Laughter Wellness session is thoughtfully designed to be inclusive and accessible, with all activities conducted in a seated format. This ensures that individuals of all abilities can comfortably participate and reap the benefits of laughter.

​

The session will include:

1. Welcome and Introduction: An overview of the session's flow and the principles behind Laughter Wellness.​
2. Gentle Warm-Up: Clapping and rhythmic movements to prepare the body and mind.​
3. Breathing Exercises: Simple deep-breathing techniques to oxygenate the body and promote relaxation.​
4. Laughter Exercises: Engaging in playful, voluntary laughter exercises that encourage joy and connection.​
5. Laughter Meditation: Allowing spontaneous laughter to flow freely, fostering a deep sense of release and happiness.​
