Heart Touching Story #182 - Laughter is The Best Medicine

Laughter is The Best Medicine



Many years ago, Norman Cousins was diagnosed as “terminally ill”. He was given six months to live. His chance for recovery was 1 in 500.
He could see the worry, depression and anger in his life contributed to, and perhaps helped cause, his disease. He wondered, “If illness can be caused by negativity, can wellness be created by positivity?”
He decided to make an experiment of himself. Laughter was one of the most positive activities he knew. He rented all the funny movies he could find – Keaton, Chaplin, Fields, the Marx Brothers. (This was before VCRs, so he had to rent the actual films.) He read funny stories. He asked his friends to call him whenever they said, heard or did something funny.

Things don’t stick around for so long, if they are not based on true knowledge.



Gayatri Mantra: Mantra is a path to purification of mind.You can begin the mental purification by practising a very powerful mantra known as Gayatri Mantra.This mantra is known for its cleansing effects on the mind.The Gayatri Mantra must be pursued with great reverence and devotion.The mantra is: Aum bhuur bhuvah svah Tat savitur varennyam Bhargo devasya dhimahi Dhiyo yo naha pracodayaat The mantra provides the practitioner with an opportunity to connect with the spirit and stay on the path of realising the Divine light. Practise this mantra each morning after conducting your purification ritual for the body. Gayatri Mantra brings the mind to a very calm place, and when the mind is calm, it breaks down all illusions, so it does not think, ‘I need this, or that, or do this or that’.At that moment, you can talk to the spirit or god within. Everybody is spiritual, but we allow the mind to take over.
