Greatly inspired by Nira Berry’s Laughter Yoga Club. I started to laugh all by myself every day after meditation. The laughter exercises include chants of ho ho, ha ha and deep breathing. I also do these exercises even while walking. I allow myself to be spontaneous and childlike and I make funny movements. 

I also sing some positive affirmations like:

I am happy tee hee hee; I am free tee hee hee; I am healthy tee hee hee; I am strong tee hee hee…

Regular practice of laughing alone has had a tremendous effect on my health. Though suffering from a tumor for some time, I can feel it getting smaller. Even my specialist was amazed when he realized it had shrunk remarkably. He canceled the radiotherapy and said,’ I am happy to keep an eye on it for now. I really believe it’s laughter, meditation and positive affirmations that have worked so wonderfully together.’

I also think laughter is anti-aging. Though I’m 60, I feel very energetic. There is less pain and I can easily do a lot of things. People make remarks that I look much better and younger!                

Nira brings a positive attitude, a lot of laughter and practical tools to her audience. She is an asset to whoever utilizes her workshops and presentations. In the words of one of our guests, “You can’t take life so seriously. Thank you for a great time!” After a session laughing, you can’t help but feel good!

It is my pleasure to endorse your LaughingRX session that you presented to our group of managers, as it was the session that had the most impact on our people. Our staff focuses on dealing with life challenges of needy families and the massive amount of compliance paperwork required. This combination tends to drain the “spirit” out of them. Your session was successful in bringing out a side of my people that I do not get to see very often. Thank you.

Nira is a true professional speaker. Nira has an extremely creative and captivating program. She held the attention of 40 professionals. The program was not only fun and exhilarating, but also a great learning experience. I would say that her top qualities are personable, expert and creative. I would highly recommend Nira’s work and would hire her again.

I am a Registered Nurse and had breast cancer 4 years ago. I became interested in Laughter Yoga as part of my recovery. I can personally confirm that the exercise has helped my immune system. It has helped me maintain a positive attitude and I have been able to pull myself out of that negative state that cancer tries to put you. The yogic breathing has been important in my recovery process. I am cancer free for 4 years now. I have not had a cold or been sick in 20 months so far. And I have not stopped doing Laughter Yoga regularly since the past 2 years.

I just had a miracle!"  Louise L. said to everyone in Nira's LaughingRx class at The Wellness Community, Bethesda, Maryland,  May 2, 2008. I haven't been able to bend my right knee to sit or stand for the past two years. I've had so many treatments that haven't worked.  I've had water removed from my knee, I've had cortisone shots, nothing has helped.  After a one hour class with Nira and participating in her class, I am able to stand and sit down without any pain. I am able to stand and sit down using my right knee!  It's a miracle. I've always heard that laughing is the best medicine, but this is a miracle.  This will change the quality of my life. I can't wait to get to the next LaughingRx class with Nira.
