Expert in the field of laughing therapy, Enda Junkins uses it to help her clients get past difficult situations. She asserts that laughter heals and that we laugh when we are hurt. Laughing, according to Enda, is “the body’s natural physiological process that releases the painful emotions of anger, fear, and boredom.” Thus, in order to heal, we have to laugh.
Enda gave Bored Panda an explanation of the distinction between humour and laughing. She said that the first one is essential to us. She says we can occasionally be harmed by the second. “I believe laughter as opposed to humour is the important thing for healing emotional and even physical issues,” she informs us. “Humour is just one trigger for laughter of which there are many.”

“Humour can be harmful if one is not careful,” Enda asserts. What what does that mean? “A lot of humour makes fun of other groups or individuals, which is detrimental. But if we pay attention, there are a lot of funny things that happen in our everyday lives, and everyone can appreciate a good bit of sharp wit.”
“Laughter is a biological activity that helps people let go of their tension and frustration. Jenkins says, “Laughing is the body’s natural way of letting go of those emotions and it also makes us healthier.

The benefits of laughter in reducing stress and anxiety have been demonstrated by scientists. We most likely already know that laughing causes our brains to release more endorphins. However, laughing also tones our heart, lungs, and muscles.
What is that calm, contented feeling we experience after a good laugh? This is because when you’re laughing uncontrollably, your heart rate and blood pressure go up and down. We can release the stress in our muscles by laughing. For example, a good chuckle can help release some of the tension in your neck and shoulders if you’ve been hunched over your laptop for a while.

How about humour that makes fun of itself? Does it make us feel better, or does it just make us feel worse? According to Enda Junkins, it can assist in putting things into perspective. “We often meet problems head-on, and when we can laugh about them, they appear more manageable. It’s crucial to understand that laughing alters our perspective on our problems rather than making them go away, as Junkins notes.

We also benefit long-term from laughter, did you know that? Negative thoughts cause our bodies to go through chemical changes that increase stress in our systems. Our immunity is lowered by that. However, smiling and thinking positively causes the release of neuropeptides that combat stress and may even prevent some very dangerous diseases.

Generally, laughing only lifts our spirits. Happier people are more confident in themselves, find friends more easily, and handle challenging circumstances more skilfully. Since endorphins are the body’s natural analgesics, they may be able to conceal mild pain and cramping. Laughter really is the best medicine!
