The HA in CHArisma

I spend time looking for things that make me laugh out loud.   A giggle or chuckle is good.  However, I prefer the breath knocked out of me as I hold my belly and sputter from the mouth and exhaHAhale my HA HAs.  WhaHAhat an invigorating feeling.

I scour YouTube for feel good moments and pleasure practices that activate the right side of my brain and allow me to tap into my belly laughter.  

Why think when you can feel?  

And that is what the essence of Laughter is truly all about.   An inward feeling of joy that bursts out of your mouth and creates sound waves - ripples that touch others.  Allowing sound vibration to emanate from within.  ShaHAharing enerchi, breath, PRANA, just by exHAhaHAling what is inside of us.   

That is what ChaHAharisma is all about - the bliss of shaHAharing what makes me juicy - an energy emanating - a vibration - a joie de vivre - an excitement for what life has to offer in every MOMent.  And shaHAharing is caring.  I am a big LOVEcat and so I transfer my enthusiasm with every breath I take.

HAHA Sustenance

Noah and I first started our laughter circles here in Hollywood Beach in 2007. We would show up every week, twice a week, to hold sacred space to laugh.

We created a space for peeps to come and Laugh out Loud just because we can.  

It seemed that this was a strange thing to do - remind peeps to laugh out loud, for no reason.  And yet, we persisted, because it felt so good.

Over time and with practice, the HAHA has provided us with sustenance -  strength and stamina - so we can better enjoy our health and our lives.

These are our top 5 finding for HAHA sustenance:

1. It feels great to have endorphins flowing because of a minimal HAHA effort.
2. It feels OMazing to have the residues of LAUGHter in our body - it cha-ha-hanges our attitude and our outlook.
3. It feels great to find a community - other peeps like us who understand the powerful healing effects of laughter and the health benefits we can reap.
4. It takes repetition and practice - over and over again.  Showing up at the park to laugh in community.  Practicing in front of a mirror and LAUGHING out LOUD. 
5. It takes laughing at oneself and kissing oneself and loving the process.


It is not for the faint of heart.  
It is for those peeps who are ready to play big.  
For peeps who are ready to shine their light bright.  
One laugh at a time to World Peace.  
Right here, right now.
