Laughter Yoga in Rathmines

Catherine will be leading two Laughter Yoga sessions as part of ‘Festival Under The Clock’ on April 2nd in Rathmines Town Hall. The sessions are at 11am and 2pm, admission is free. She recommends you wear loose clothing, bring a yoga mat or towel to lie on, and a bottle of water.

A combination of unconditional laughter and yogic breathing, Laughter Yoga is a group activity in which laughter is induced without comedy but soon becomes contagious and yields well proven physiological and psychological benefits to those involved.

Clinical research on Laughter Yoga has proven that laughter lowers the level of stress hormones e.g. epinephrine and cortisol in the blood. It combats stress and depression, fosters positivity and hopefulness.

A trawl through some ‘laughter quotations’ confirms the above, my favourites include:

“Laughter is an instant vacation” - Milton Berle

“Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face” -Victor Hugo

“Laughter………. the most civilised music in the world” - Peter Ustinov

“There is little success where there is little laughter” - Andrew Carnegie

“Mirth is God's medicine. Everybody ought to bathe in it.” Henry Ward Beecher

“A good, real, unrestrained, hearty laugh is a sort of glorified internal massage, performed rapidly and automatically. It manipulates and revitalizes corners and unexplored crannies of the system that are unresponsive to most other exercise methods.” Author unknown

(This latter is true, there are very impressive and genuine statistics for the value of laughter as a physical work-out. Elsewhere it has been described as an internal jog.)

Stress and Bioenergy

A lot of research has been carried out on the links between stress and various forms of cancer. The connection is no longer in doubt, but there are a number of proposed mechanisms which have different degrees of corroboration. These include the well- known suppression effect of stress on our immune cells, particularly as our immune systems contain cells that destroy cancerous cells. Another mechanism assigns a direct role to stress in triggering cancer; it involves stress as a trigger to the signalling between cells that work together in tumour growth. Yet another line of study suggests that stress might also reduce the effectiveness of cancer treatments.

We are all aware of other symptoms of stress: raised blood pressure, increased susceptibility to infections, skin conditions etc. These in addition to the lowering of our quality of life due to sleep loss, loss of appetite, libido, etc. and increased irritability in our interactions with others. There are many well-known methods of lowering stress, e.g. meditation, yoga, getting away from it all, walking; conscious steps must be taken to change how we deal with stress.

Bioenergy treatments are especially successful in dealing with stress-related conditions. Clients of Bioenergy for Health almost always remark on the relaxing nature of the treatment, a majority of those that have come claim that their levels of stress have dropped notably even before the four day treatment is finished.

Testimonials relating to Bio-energy for Health

Perhaps it’s not surprising that there is a lot of scepticism around healing methods like the Domancic and Plexus Bio-energy treatments, and other forms of energy treatment. It is still relatively new in Ireland and does represent a markedly different approach to the standard medical treatment. I should stress that it is complimentary. It will take time for the success of the methods to become sufficiently widely known and accepted. Here are two genuine testimonials of my work from this year (I have withheld surnames for privacy reasons).

“Since my bio-energy treatment I have had tremendous benefit, having suffered with a chronic abscess problem. It is great to feel relief, have great energy and know how it feels to be pain free.” ……………Lisa


“Prior to my attending Catherine’s Clinic I was experiencing severe back spasm and stiffness to my neck which resulted in restricted movement and discomfort whilst driving. Having attended the Plexus group on previous occasions in the western region, I am acutely aware of the benefits this course of treatment has for me.

Following my first session with Catherine my condition had greatly improved, the spasm had disappeared and the limited movement to my neck had also improved. I can say yet again, after four days, that Bio-energy Therapy has worked for me.............Michael

Bioenergy Therapy Works – See for Yourself

Short of experiencing the healing effects of Bioenergy therapy yourself, hearing the testimonies of others is the best I can offer. And that’s why I am guiding you to the following movie filmed in Los Angeles. It records the experiences of people who were involved in a 4 day Bioenergy Life Project event headed up by Zoran Huchstatter.

I have referred to this event twice previously so will not go into it here but strongly recommend that you take a look at the movie and decide for yourself. Further down the page there is an interview with Zoran and the father of this method of healing, Zdenko Domancic.

An Applicatiion Of Muscle Testing

The presence of an energy field surrounding the body is easily proven as discussed in an earlier post. One of the upshots of its presence is that it is influenced by the energy surrounding other bodies, animate and inanimate. This fact is fundamental to bioenergy healing during which the therapist uses her/his energy field to manipulate the flow of energy through another person's body. The following YouTube movie provides some more information on the human energy field as well as directions for an interesting application of it that anyone can perfect. The muscle-testing aspect of our energy field which features in the movie has tremendous implications for diagnosis of medical conditions and healing of same. I’ll explain anon.
