January Jones - Laughter as a Path to Enlightenment with Steve Wilson

Laughter is not really "taken seriously" by most of us on the spiritual path.

In Carlos Castaneda's books, Don Juan and Don Genaro are constantly taken with fits of laughter to the point where they fall on the ground and roll around. Dan Millman's mentor also constantly finds himself overcome with total-body mirth. Werner Erhardt, founder of the est trainings, liked to say, "How can you can tell when you 'get it'? You laugh!"

But what if it could be the other way around? What if reclaiming our natural laughter might actually be not merely a byproduct of the state of "being light" but also an actual pathway to that state?
