A hearty laugh may be one of the best things you can do for your heart, according to research from the University of Maryland and the Cleveland Clinic. Genuine laughter can improve blood flow in a way similar to aerobic exercise. When you laugh, your heart rate increases, your breathing deepens, and more oxygenated blood circulates through your arteries.

Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, which help relax blood vessels by releasing nitric oxide, reducing the risk of high blood pressure, stroke, and heart attack. Simultaneously, laughter reduces stress hormones like cortisol, which constrict blood vessels and strain the heart. Remarkably, the benefits last up to 45 minutes after you laugh.

So, while many spend hundreds on gym memberships, laughter—a natural and free source of joy—helps your heart stay healthy. Laughter may be the best medicine after all.

Dear Community
I've made the choice to retire from my private practice at Energy Connection and slow down on my teaching schedule. Energy Connection is not closing! Thankfully Energy Connection will contine offering the in-person quality classes and events, as always, under the auspices of Janet Jackson and my niece, Megan Reno. I have full confidence that your creative healing and learning needs will be met and even expanded with new additions of programs and classes! Many of you have been students, clients and friends with Janet over the past 27 years, so you already know you will be in good hands. Megan is my niece, a Reiki practitioner, a creative energy and you will enjoy meeting her I'm sure . We will be at the same location but likely be downsizing in physical space including liquidating Soul Sisters Gifts. On May 31 (Sunday) 10 am to 6 pm. we will be holding a 50% off everything sale! I'll be there to share some laughs, maybe some nostalgic memories and honor the community we have built. Come shop and visit please!

I could go to great lengths to express my gratitude for the importance knowing you, in whatever capacity, has meant to me. Let me just say I have been blessed with a purpose filled life because of you - growing and learning along side of you. I've met intriguing people, shared many sacred moments, made precious friends and of course had many laughs. Thank you!

Have a good meaningful journey, think a good thought and love with an abundant heart!
Kathy

HANDS ACROSS AMERICA,..my kind of demonstration!! You probably dont remember this or maybe weren't even born yet!
Hands Across America was a public fundraising event for the hungry and homeless based charities, held on Sunday, May 25, 1986, Memorial Day weekend, which attempted to create a continuous human chain of people holding hands across the contiguous United States. 6 MILLION PEOPLE HELD HANDS OVER A DISTANCE OF 4,000 MILES It was awesome, I was there along
route 30 in front of The Giant Eagle in Irwin. No polarizing placards, no shouting, just solidarity ,,15 minutes of meaningful connection, 15 minutes of creating history with compassion and lots of smiles. IT WAS GEORGEOUS! We need more meaning-making and less mean
