Comedy

This world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel.

HORACE WALPOLE, FOURTH EARL OF ORFORD

1717–1797

IN THE DIM LIGHTS OF THEATRES, I have been able to observe the mind energies of the audience. When laughter fills the auditorium, the mind expands, giving the impression of balls of light dancing around. Having discovered and studied mind energy for so many years, I know that the energy blockages which cause stress throughout the body are being released, and the body is going into self-healing mode. One has only to look at that same audience when they leave the theatre to see that all around are smiling faces, lightness of step and an aura of well-being.

If you have the ability to make people laugh, use it. It is the finest healing of all. In the home it is a talent that can prevent arguments reaching a dangerous level. At the office it can work for you if you silently perceive the funny side of difficult situations.

Those of you who are not natural comedians should try the following exercise.

Visualisation: Try to bring out the clown in yourself. Think of all the ridiculous situations that you could find yourself in and act them out in your mind. Then laugh at yourself.

If you are a serious person, put yourself into a position mentally that resembles farce. Somewhere inside there is a comedian aching to get out.

Affirmation: Laugh every day and keep misery at bay.
