It's Time to Laugh!

Every single day of the year and several times during the day there are wonderful Certified Laughter Teachers and Leaders willing to laugh with others over the phone to create even more ways to share the idea of laughter every day and promote the mission of World Peace through Laughter...one laugh at a time.

Gaga Barnes of California initiated the original idea of a laughter call in 2007 and soon was joined by a handful of Certified Laughter Teachers. The concept grew and today it has grown to include all of the different times listed below with Teachers and Leaders from all parts of the USA. The dream is to have a 24 hour laugh line with calls at the top of every hour...want to laugh everyday? This is one creative way!

There is no set format and no right or wrong way to do anything...our purpose is to laugh with each other and spread more joy as a result.

Sometimes we initiate laughter exercises, gibberish and playful type activities and sometimes we jest laugh...for no reason... Every call is different so find what works for you best. Each call is led by unique hosts so explore the calls and find a new way to laugh from this talented giving giggling group!

Everyone is welcome and anyone can join us. There is no sign up, no commitment and best of all no fee!

(712) 432-3900 use pin 6071292#

We practice laughing "with" instead of laughing "at" and that's why we don't need jokes or other stimuli to activate it...laughing is natural.

We all use the same laugh line and pin number to make it simple for everyone....all you have to do is dial up and leap into the laughter with us.

We also have a pre recorded laugh call for those that want it on demand....

About Lynda's Call
Lynda's calls are playful, so go with the flow and just laugh if you don't know what else to do. The exercises that are provided are meant to tickle the funny bone, exercise the body and the mind too. The exercises always help to know more about your consciousness, connect to what your body tells you and to change the mood.

Sometimes there are no exercises and the group feels like laughing, so we get carried away...allow yourself to be carried away too! Other days we change the historical to the hysterical knowing that we are the big joke and that being able to laugh at ourselves is a daily treasure. As Lynda puts it....we are material!

Laughter is experiential so do give yourself a whirl and join in, like anything in life, you get out of it what you put into it and in the privacy of your own phone call...you can pretty much do anything you want to laugh and learn more.

If you have questions, save them til the end and Lynda will be happy to answer and sometimes the group has a few things to share too! If you want to speak privately just let her know and she will make arrangements for that too!
You can always give a call to (847) 401-5787 to reach Lynda directly. Leave a message for best times to return your call if she is not available and she will get in touch!
