Services Offered

Laughter Therapy

Laugh therapy has been shown to have positive effects on various conditions including stress, fatigue and anxiety, as well as hypertension, asthma, chronic pain, arthritis, mental illness and addiction. 

It boosts the immune system and increases the production of endorphins and endogenous opiates, which are the body’s natural painkillers.

Laughter percussion is a natural and unique exercise routine available to everyone. Through programs and workshops, individuals can discover a deeper connection with their emotions and come together in a commonplace of happiness and healing, while enjoying a new perspective of their lives while on separate journeys. 

We can experience “synchronicity” through it by connecting with our own spirituality and connecting with other like-minded individuals.

Laughter percussion involves chanting, playing the percussions, and dancing while integrating mind, body, and spirit. With laughter, percussions, and dancing they integrate healing at the physical and spiritual levels, which releases negative emotions and connects spiritual forces. The act of laughing serves as self-expression. 

Holding on to negative emotions can cause energy blocks. Laughter helps clear those energy blocks. Great therapy for dealing with the emotions we feel. You don’t need to rely on humour to laugh. Laughter does not require a joke or comedy. All you need is to make eye contact with others. You’ll be surprised at the results. 

You can literally laugh out your feelings! 

Ras holds Laughter Percussion Therapy sessions every Tuesday at the Kalgoorlie YMCA. If you live outside of Western Australia, they can come to your location for events or you can arrange an online session with them.
