LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

So most people ask me after my talks wide ranging questions, on all different topics. Everyone is looking for an answer.  Here is a wonderful technique to help you out in case you find that you can’t relax, or you are worried, or you are in any situation that you have allowed to bring you in a state of  unease.  When we find ourself in any stressful situation, we have given up power within ourselves.  So here is how you can get back.

1. Take a breath in and exhale.

2. Take a breath in and on the exhale, say “Ha Ha Ha Ha”, repeat this process for three rounds.

3. Take breath in and on the exhale, say “He He He He, repeat this process for three rounds.

4. Take a breath in and on the exhale, say “Ha He Ha He Ha He,” Repeat three rounds.

You may notice yourself laughing. Wonderful. Keep laughing. Laughing reminds us of infinite possibilities and that life is funny and fun. When we take life serious, then it is called living and surviving. Life is spontaneous and fun.  The more you can achieve relaxation, the more you will laugh.
