Laughter is often reduced to an a in-voluntary human action, however laughter has a long tradition of helping us connect with our heart chakras. The act of laughing involves contraction of facial and respiratory muscles, release of endorphins and serotonin, and reduction of cortisol (stress hormone). It also activates brain regions like the motor cortex, frontal lobe, and limbic system. We can use laughter to help us relieve stress and open up our heart chakras, especially when we use creative outlets such as comedy.
From Aristophanes to Issa Rae, comedy has always been a mirror to society — sometimes playful, sometimes biting, always revealing. It’s both a survival tool and a creative force.
