Laughter as a labor of Love !

My approach towards life is that of laughter. And laughter contains love, laughter contains joy and laughter contains gratitude. Laughter contains a tremendous thankfulness towards God. When you are really in deep belly laughter, your ego disappears. It happens very rarely in any other activity, but in laughter it is bound to happen. If the laughter is total the ego cannot exist; nothing kills the ego like laughter. That’s why all egoists are serious. Ego can exist only in seriousness; ego lives, feeds on seriousness. And serious people are dangerous people. We have to destroy all kinds of seriousness in the world. Temples should be full of laughter and song and dance and celebration. That’s how trees are, stars are, rivers are, oceans are. The whole existence, except man, is in a non serious state; only man seems to be very serious. No child is born serious, remember, but we destroy the innocence of the child. We destroy his qualities of wonder and awe, we destroy his laughter, we destroy everything that is beautiful and valuable, and instead we give him a load to carry on his head — of knowledge, of theology, of philosophy. The more and more he becomes educated by us, the more and more he loses all sense of humor. He can’t see any humor in existence because he starts living through his knowledge; he knows everything. Because of his knowledgeability all wonder is destroyed. Because of his knowledgeability, the greatest religious quality — awe — is killed.

Wake up Laughing!

I was stuck in the spiritual paradigm of serious practice, doing everything that I needed to do to reach enlightenment, to awaken. I got sick, tired and my life force was diminishing, the more and more I tried to do I knew I was through with the all the doing and undoing setting myself free to be Kindalooney, that is to step out of the madness of the mind and into no mind, laughing, shaking, Holy Fool's quaking, tapping back into the Mojo and letting go to the Divine flow.

I believe En-Light-I-Am-ment is to become as a child again, to Play, Dance, Sing, Laugh, releasing all the voices that told you to be quiet, to sit still, that it was not an appropriate time to laugh, moving beyond appropriate, beyond rules, beyond right and wrong, into the freedom of the soul to express itself spontaneously and ecstatically.

Kindalooney Yoga was founded on these principles

If Yoga is union then it is time to tune in to the Looney tunes,and sing our hearts open. To laugh ourselves awake from the oh so serious dream of duality. To look in the mirror and laugh with the one that takes it all so seriously.

To laugh at ourselves is to see ourselves!

Let laughter be your labor of love that you offer the world on this Labor Day. As we are in this time of planetary birth and the labor has seemed intense let each contraction be accompanied by a big belly laugh that eases the contraction and opens to the expansion of JOY, opens to the expansion Gratitude,opens to Love.

Happy Labor Day, we are giving Birth to a New reality!
