Elder's Meditation of the Day February 18
Elder's Meditation of the Day February 18

"laughter is a necessity in life that does not cost much, and the Old Ones say that one of the greatest healing powers in our life is the ability to laugh."
--Larry P. Aitken, CHIPPEWA

Laughter is a good stress eliminator. Laughter causes healing powers to be distributed through our bodies. Laughter helps heal relationships that are having problems. Laughter can change other people. Laughter can heal the sick. Laughter is spiritual. One of the greatest gifts among Indian people has been our ability to laugh. Humor is natural to Indian people. Sometimes the only thing left to do is laugh.

Great Spirit, allow me to laugh when times get tough.

They're constantly laughing at us.

3. Thank you for sharing this
Ghost, as well as the link. I followed Native tradition for a very long time then hit a hard spot. Time to turn back, nothing has ever given me such peace. :hug:
