When the moment is all about laughter!

Mar 20, 2022


Ann-Marie back in the day…

Take 30 seconds and laugh. Laugh strong. Laugh
loud. Laugh for no other reason except to laugh.

After 30 seconds go into silence and notice what
arises. (Do this now before you read on!)

Laughing meditation alters the dopamine and
serotonin levels in our bodies resulting in a decrease
in depression, stress and anxiety.

In other words: Aliveness vibrates. Attitudes shift. Joy
seeps in. Beginners Mind reigns. Life becomes
vibrant.

WARNING! Watch out for the Inner Critic! When we are
not feeling up to snuff we will put off Laughing
Meditation. This is only an excuse from IC telling us
we need to suffer through whatever we are
experiencing first.

Not so! Many meditation practitioners choose to do
Laughing Meditation in the midst of suffering. For
instance, joining together in Laughing Meditation
when our Beloved is dying is one of the highest
moments for all…especially the Beloved who is
passing.

It was a different type of MCS class and yet one of the most powerful ones. All classes were filled with practice, real time coaching and wisdom that can be applied in everyday life. This class is for coaches and people who want to develop their communication skills, empathy, listen deeply and speak skilfully. It’s also a class to learn a compassionate approach towards yourself, others and life in general. Read more

In this class, the “engaged” piece of Engaged Mindfulness is just as important as the “mindfulness” piece. I was inspired by this dynamic exploration of the subject of mindfulness, from the evidence-based, scientific arena — where we learn about the measurable, practical benefits to humankind of mindfulness practice — to the deeply personal space — where I clarified and re-engaged my own meditation practice both on the cushion and in how I move through the world

I’ve studied with other coaching schools, and I’ve found Ann-Marie McKelvey’s approach to be much more dynamic and in-depth than the others. The school’s focus on mindfulness-based coaching is brilliant. Basing a coaching practice in mindfulness helps us as coaches to create a space in the coaching process for our clients to become even more creative, resourceful, and whole as they move forward with their agendas.
