Powerful You! Women's Network

By Miriam Belov 

There is nothing like a good laugh to make you feel good.  Or better.  Or great.  I am sure you have had this wonderful experience many times during your life.  Suddenly, the room is brighter.  You feel more comfortable.  You have more energy and are relaxed. 

The hilarious laughter in “I Love Lucy”, the longest running television show in history, is a force that can help us all today.  That force is humor! 

We have all heard the instructions – “Tell a joke to break the ice.”  “Be funny and everyone will like you.”  These do seem to be true.  Yes, humor and optimism are great qualities to have.  People love it.  You can also learn to love yourself with your own humor. 

When you step back with “The Wellness Agenda™”, do Breakthrough Breathing™ and become a bit more detached to allow yourself to see a new perspective, the humor in a situation can become obvious.  What was first thought of as horrible can become humorous and even down right funny. 

Each one of us has the ability to amuse ourselves.  Happiness is something that is particular to you.  The rain makes you happy while your best friend likes the snow.  You love a good movie while your father luxuriates in reading a book and your child loves video games.  This is what makes the world go round.  Think about a few things that make you happy. 

Making yourself happy is psychologically and even physically important. 

The link between the body and emotions is definite.  Just think of the possibilities that positive emotions can have for the body!  I hope that by just thinking this wonderful thought, you are smiling a nice big smile.  By merely smiling you are making a great deal of good for yourself. 

In 1979 Norman Cousins wrote in his brilliantly pioneering book, “Anatomy of an Illness” that…”there is physiologic basis for the ancient theory that laughter is good medicine.”  “What was significant about the laughter, I said, was not just the fact that it provides internal exercise for a person flat on his or her back – a form of jogging for the innards – but that it creates a mood in which the other positive emotions can be put to work too.  In short, it helps make it possible for good things to happen.” 

Endorphins are hormonal compounds produced in the brain which work like a relaxant or anesthesia.  More are produced when you are feeling happy.  The more endorphins, the happier you feel.  You, yourself, know that you feel better after a good laugh. 

You have to breathe deeply and correctly as in Breakthrough Breathing™ to have a good laugh.  More oxygen enters your body.  This form of stress reduction is as natural as a a good breath.  Even if your ribs are splitting and your stomach is aching, you feel great. 

The intensity of the moment, the release of tension and your own biochemical response move you into a greater level of joy, even peace. 

Yes, just think of it.  This is no joke or maybe it is the biggest joke of all – that after so much serious investigation and commentary and analysis, the old folk adage of “Just relax and enjoy yourself” is true! 

The New York Times Health page (D5) had a short article about this on the 24th of April 2012. Under the title “Really?” the claim that “Optimism reduces the risk of heart disease” was validated.  “Laughter may not exactly be the best medicine.  But a cheerful outlook on life may be good for your heart. So concludes new research on the impact of happiness and optimism on cardiovascular health…Researchers at Harvard…found that traits like optimism and hope, and higher levels of happiness and satisfaction with one’s life, were linked with reductions in the risk of heart disease and stroke.” 

Laughing your way to a loving relationship is easy.  Laughing your way to help your own healing is something you can do.  As you grow older, don’t retire your sense of humor.  The positive power of humor is no laughing matter.  Laughing really does matter, a lot. 

Fun, enjoyment and a good laugh are becoming scientifically recognized as crucial for recovery and health.  Finally science is catching up with what we all sensed and our intuition told us. 

The pleasure principle is wonderful and should be indulged in. Creative Concentration™  and meditation can help intensify this experience for you! 

Humor and optimism really do help us.  They enliven the body and soul.  Positive emotions are life empowering experiences. These affirmative emotions truly benefit us.  They are healing in the deepest sense of the word.  They rejuvenate our body, mind and spirit.  They aid in a recovery from an illness and are part of preventive medicine.  They also make for a happier – and possibly even longer – life. 

As the great comedienne Mae West, said “Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.”  Let us all agree with her for this is certainly true for humor and optimism.

Are you tired of being stifled by fear over and over again?
Can you imagine your life without fears and anxieties?
Living a fearless life is not only possible but also logical and necessary. 

Fear is a
1. Robber of freedom, a
2. Thief of happiness and a
3. Barrier to peace. 

All of us experience fear to various degrees.
There are three key areas where fear keeps you stuck and paralyzed

1. Fear of Failure, of not being good enough
2. Fear of Success, the changes and responsibilities it brings. And
3. Fear of the Unknown, 

As real as it feels within your body, fear is not a thing, but a chemical and energetic response in your body to an outside event or circumstance. 

I believe that fear is a primal instinct leftover that still resides in our cellular memory. 

The first time you experienced fear of the unknown was at the moment when the time arrived for you to be born into this world. 

Your cozy, warm, soft, and liquid universe surrounding your small body was your perfect environment…until those contractions set in…those violent contractions minimized your space in your already small container, your mother’s womb.

You had no idea what was happening, but you were definitely pushed harder and harder against a small opening….until you were forcefully pressed and squeezed out of your paradise. 

What a shock and betrayal! 

Darkness and pressure seemed endless during your journey through a very narrow tunnel…
until at the end, a bright light beckoned you into what could have been heaven….. But it was not. It was a foreign, loud and cold world…. you could not breathe! And then you were severed, cut lose from the only loving body you knew. 

A terrifying stream of could air rushed into your delicate new lungs, shock and panic flooded your tiny shivering body…. and you let out your first primal SCREAM!! 

Fear left its imprint deep within the memory of your Innocence.

Yet the Soul within your body did not abandon you.
Your Soul comforted you during countless hours of sleep through your first weeks of life on earth; downloading into your cells, intelligence and the divine coding for your life’s plan and purpose. 

People all over the world are waking up to a new understanding! We now know who we are and how we can be. The time has come to permanently let go of fear 

Fear cannot be part of the New Awakened Human. 

I urge you to listen to your Soul’s message for you. 

Your Soul’s desire is to align your physical body, and your life more closely with it’s own magnificent essence! 

Do you think God feels fear? Can you imagine a fearful God?
I don’t think so. 

Then, it must also be true that your Soul does not experience fear.
Your Soul is not a weak, etheric, illusive or religious idea. Your Soul is immortal, and more powerful than anything in this universe. 

Only your fearful Ego holds you back. But your Ego is a DWARF compared to your SOUL. 

Your Soul knows unerringly why you are here now.

1. You have signed up for this grand adventure.
2. You have chosen to witness the great shift into a New World Age.
3. You have chosen this body temple to hold your Spirit. 

We are birthing a new World Age. Contractions and labor pains are part of every birthing process. A stirring and uprising announces that change is inevitable. You can see it all around you in Nature as well as amongst the people.

But Fear is also on the rise. Watch out for it, because it sends distorted messages into the world and into your body through the unified energy field. 

Call upon your Soul! Your Soul is a Fear Buster!
We are called to step courageously and without apprehension on a new path. It is the path that will lead us to the beginning of a Golden Age 

Do not allow any external circumstance dictate your inner state of perfect peace. 

You are a brilliant Light!
You are untarnished no matter what your life’s story is. You are called to envision, and give birth to a new earth. 

Can you feel the unity of all people within their soul’s essence? Wrap your arms around the world like you were holding yourself with love, compassion, kindness and truth.
This is how we can manifest a new human consciousness on Earth. 

Together, we will change and give birth to a new Humanity. 

We can keep talking about it, or we can chose to step forward and boldly begin. 

So, I ask you:

1. Will you let go of fear?
2. Will you become a champion for the Light?
3. Will you allow your transformation… like the caterpillar transforms into the Butterfly?
4. Will you become a Forerunner and model for the New Human? 

Will you? 

You must chose now! 

Together, let us dream the impossible dream into Reality! 

I am honored to walk this path with you.
If you allow me, I would love to hold your hand and show you how to let go of fear forever.
