November Reflection from Yours Truly

“The darkest hour is just before the dawn”.

This was the title of a post I read on LinkedIn on this very last day of October, and it was a long post that covered a lot of material including election, mental health and global warming.

2018 The Playing Human Conference e1604143028811 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte Mikkelsen

I am not one for in-depth political debates as my knowledge of the area is insufficient for an intellectual conversation, and besides, I like to enjoy conversing deeply about topics that bring about and high, bright energy instead of anger, frustration and irritation.

In the heart of us all, I believe, is a peaceful lobbyist for our own passionate “endurements”, a lightworking warrior on the path of sharing change that has a good and nurturing effect on everyone and on our Earth.

In October I had the immence pleasure and privilege to share laughter with some truly inspirational groups, one of which was Sha Hussain’s “Be More You” who co-organised a fantastic day for World Mental Health Day.

In addition to organising the day he collected all the words everyone shared, and he came up with a globe of honesty and faith, thoughts and reflections, and heartfelt connection.

10102020 How do you feel - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte Mikkelsen

Read the words and taste them as you whisper, say or shout them into the open air, inside your mind or in your heart.

Which brings me back to the first line in this reflection, regardless how things may look right now for anyone, there is light ahead because we are one world.

merry makers e1604143493395 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte Mikkelsen

Together we are co-creating a time where we are the same no matter all the outside circumstances we live with and bring to life.

Jointly we raise our vibration and every event we share where focus is on life and on health will bring the frequency even higher.

This is where we win – together where no one loses!

As always I am your totally non-political, non-religious, all-inclusive Everyday Laughter Queen out to change the world with goodness.

Wishing you warmth within your heart and daily hugs surrounding you!

Love, Laughter and Peace

30-Day Challenge with Lidia Salvaggio

30 Day Challenge with Lidia - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte Mikkelsen

Lidia trained with me as Laughter Yoga Leader 9 years ago and I was really excited when she contacted me to join her 30-Day Challenge in November.

Here is what Lidia brings to us all:

Never before have we experienced times like these.
Right now many people are struggling to keep their mind and body healthy, whilst at the same time avoiding contracting a disease. If any of this resonates with you, then now is the time for a new approach.
I decided to share a new conversation based on our body’s ability to fight and protect us from disease and not based on avoiding disease.
Starting 28 October, from 1 to 1:30 pm UK time, you will have the opportunity to listen to holistic and non-holistic practitioners for 30 consecutive days who will give you valuable advice on how to take care of your body, your mind, the environment you live in.

The event will be in both Italian and English and I am looking forward to running a short laughter session together with Lidia on Saturday 21 November at 1-130pm UK time.

To follow the event live, go on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Lidia-Salvaggio-1171188619714446

What an awesome week we had at the Laughter Yoga Teacher training. One of the best weeks I've ever had with a bunch of incredible and like-minded people. Lotte, our trainer, was marvellous and knowledgeable and made our week epic.

Lotte held a couple of session at MADE.com HQ for our lovely employees and it was super fun and got everyone laughing - really brilliant. Our team really relaxed into the sessions and helped release any built up tension or stresses from their day to day life. Everyone left feeling energised as well as with a deep calmness. Thank you for working with us and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

I completed the Laughter Yoga Teacher Training in October 2021. The week was very useful, and I learnt a lot. All the laughter we shared not only in the classroom but also outside was amazing. As a first-hand research, I actually noticed a change in my mind and body after a full week with several laughter sessions a day.

Great laughter yoga online leader course! I was nervous at first but Lotte was brilliant - she has a very easy going, warm and engaging style which really helped. The course was super informative, interesting and fun. Everyone in the group really gelled and it was a very rewarding and supportive experience. I can't wait to get involved in more laughter sessions and eventually start running my own!!

Had a great time learning how to become an online laughter yoga leader with Lotte and her infectious enthusiasm and laughter.

Lotte has been very flexible and compassionate throughout the Laughter Leader Training that I attended live online. The experience was wonderful. I felt supported and encouraged throughout. Lotte gives her full attention and provides a high quality level of information and administration. I found the timing to complete the course was just right, and helped me to attend and manage the course. I highly recommend Lotte who has years experience, deep wisdom and humility; willing to share the learning she has gained through Teaching Laughter yoga. I am very happy to recommend Lotte. I look forward to further training with Lotte.

Excellent course which was adapted for virtual learning. Small group so we had ample time to ask questions and practice skills. Learning was fun and practical. I would definitely recommend Laughter Yoga training and it has already been of interest to prospective employers for role in wellbeing and inclusion.
