I&rsquo;m putting up this post for those who are interested:<\/p>\n<p>Venue: Singapore Botanic Gardens.<\/p>\n<p>Date and time: Every Tuesdays, 6.30pm to 7.00pm<\/p>\n<p>Laughter exercise spot: A stone&rsquo;s throw from the MAIN ENTRANCE GATE.<\/p>\n<p>Walk to the Green Pavilion. There is a patch of nicely lawned grass. This is it. <\/p>\n<p>FAQs:<\/p>\n<p>What to wear: Wear light, loose-fitting clothes, and flatties.<\/p>\n<p>Suitable for whom: young or old, men or women, short or tall, fat or thin. Especially suitable for people who would like to de-stress.<\/p>\n<p>How to enjoy your experience: Plan to arrive at 5.30pm (optional), take a stroll to enjoy the garden. At 6.20pm, stroll toward the Green Pavilion. Ms Zaibun (the laughter exercise facilitator) starts promptly at 6.30pm. The laughter exercise ends at 7pm. You may wander off to stroll some more around the garden. Some friends take the opportunity to catch dinner together. Some who came alone, and appeared to be burdened with troubled thoughts, will smile and wave good-bye quietly. Free and easy.&nbsp; Really. Do as you please. No one will cajole you, preach to you about the benefits of laughter.<\/p>\n<p>You will discover the benefits yourself. Give yourself a chance to find that out.<\/p>\n<p>This laughter session is really &ldquo;free and easy&rdquo;. Literally. &nbsp;Free &#8211; Zaibun does this for free. Easy &#8211; The exercise is easy to follow; no registration required. <\/p>\n<p>A little note here: Zaibun is a trained laughter facilitator. Big companies and organization pay big bucks to hire laughter facilitators to conduct &ldquo;laughing sessions&rdquo; for their employees. Their purpose is to help their employees to de-stress and thereby be happier and more productive.<\/p>\n<p>For maximum benefit: remember to laugh out loud. Exhale completely, inhale fresh air&#8230; bringing oxygen to every cells&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Many participants have noticed that their well-being have improved markedly. For more information, do read the &ldquo;older posts&rdquo; on laughter exercise. Those posts were made by Vivian Lai, Sylvia Ang, and Jacqueline Han. Or, google for &ldquo;laughter yoga&rdquo; &ldquo;laughter exercises&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<p>Should you decide to check this out, do indicate your interest here.
