7th Spiritual Law of Yoga: the Law of Dharma



You can make fullest use of the Law of Dharma by committing to serve others through your unique creative expression, in whatever form that takes.  When you do so, the entire field of pure potentiality opens to you.  You're able to create as much happiness and abundance as you want because you're in harmony with the domain of spirit, from which all creation flows.
"Your body cannot heal without play.  Your mind cannot heal without laughter.  Your soul cannot heal without joy." ~ Catherine Fenwick

Most of us at some time or another have felt stuck, mired in worries or unable to see a way out of difficult circumstances.  Then we talk with a good friend, see a funny movie or are struck by an offhand comment that sets us into convulsions of laughter.  Suddenly we feel lighter and we're reminded that there's more than one way to view a situation.  Laughter shifts our perspective and opens us to new possibilities.  It allows us to step outside
our time-bound state and touch the field of boundless, eternal awareness.
Spirit is inherently lighthearted and laughs easily.  Through laughter, we shift our internal reference from ego to spirit, simultaneously releasing fear and awakening to the truth that everything is unfolding for our highest good, even when we can't always see how.
There is also truth in the old saying that laughter is the best medicine.  Laughter reduces stress, boosts the immune system, increases our pain tolerance, and eases depression and anxiety. 
Invite more laughter into your life today and give yourself permission to commit spontaneous acts of silliness, joy and lightheartedness.
