The emotion associated with heart attack is hostility.
I love this video. It makes so many important points. The doctor says that the side-effects of Prolexa are the same symptoms for which it is prescribed. He talks about a medical school course called the healing art ... and the healing power of Love. Well, call it unconditional positive regard. He mentions Little Miss Sunshine --- listen to what Olive says. (It is her presence.) Focus on one and it becomes still. We see things as they truly are. (Clear the clutter) To see the cow in the snowball, be still. "Then you can connect with the beaty." Some of the most powerful influences on health. Spirituality in medicine ... touch on that which is somewhat fearful. There's your absolute; there's my absolute.
Take a look at this video, which came out during World War II, and recall, if you will some of the other silly songs from that time period, "I With I Were a Widdle Thugar Bun," for instance.
Take a look at this article, Mirth Mends which illuminates all the benefits of laughter, according to the two Bangkok-based psychotherapists who organized weekly laughter-therapy sessions, because they know of the medical benefits.
The sounds of laughter, they say, "come straight from the soul."
LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE
The act of laughing triggers the release of endorphins, a chemical in the brain that functions as a natural painkiller.
In large amounts, endorphins can create a general sense of well-being.
When we laugh, we must breath more deeply. The extra oxygen we take in purifies our lungs and saturates the bloodstream, eventually re-energising our whole body.
Frequent laughing can strengthen the body's respiratory and pulmonary systems which, in turn, enhances our blood circulation and cardio-vascular system.
Laughing also reinvigorates the body's digestive and gastro-intestinal systems. When you laugh, the intestinal muscles, which may have become stiff, move more vigorously, so the digestive system works better.
Other benefits include better functioning of the dermatological (skin), reproductive and endocrine (hormone) systems, she added.
Laughter is also a great psychological tool.
"A human being is like a car," Dr Jitra says. "After being used for a while, the car runs out of fuel and the tank needs to be refilled. A human being is just like that. After going through some bad moments during the day, we, too, need to be refreshed."
She adds, "In a way I think laughter therapy is a form of spiritual healing. For many people, it's a light at the end of the tunnel."
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A GOOD LAUGH.

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it" -Helen Keller
The bottom line about learning and increasing your emotional intelligence is your health and happiness.
How we handle the "negative" emotions affects every aspect of our life.
The goal of life is not to suffer. That's not to say we don't all have times of suffering. In fact "great suffering leads to great learning." We'd rather get our lessons another way, but lets face it - the way we learn to do it right, is by doing it wrong and learning.
