More Laughs = Less Stress
Author: Maharishi Ayurveda Date Posted:12 October 2015
Let’s take a look at what history can tell us about the importance of laughter…
In the good old days, kings employed clowns - court jesters - to make them laugh. Back then a king was under a lot of pressure. Most of his attention and energy went into fighting just to keep his job. A king had to watch his back in case one of his nobles took a fancy to the crown and accidentally peppered it with a quiver full of arrows. Talk about stress!
Laughter, having fun, was a serious business and the Jester was often a friend and confidant of the king, recognised as a person of influence, in a position of great power. His job was to look after the king… and this was the funny guy!
