DISCOVERING LAUGHTER AS YOUR INNER HEALING COMPANION

Christ Jesus through Virginia Essene

Dear ones of the Love Corps family and all beings of good will everywhere,

Please welcome the sincerity of my love and concern for you in this extraordinary moment when your solar system has entered a photon–gifted region of light which your earth is receiving and your own bodies are hungrily embracing.

Even as I, too, am reaching out to embrace you with my own love frequency, you are being bathed in a region of space that holds more high frequency photons than your body is used to feeling. So let us combine those photons with my own heavenly frequencies to give you a sense of peace and quiet repose.

Yes, please allow this gold and silver energy embrace to encircle you with the sacred remembrance of your own soul’s beauty, wisdom and love—reminding you of your origin by the Creator’s precious and eternal gift of spiritual consciousness.

In this unified moment of bonding with life itself, kindly pause to breathe a moment and receive these subtle energies as a springtime burst of celestial gifts.

Just allow your physical body to use these energies to help you release your past negative limitations with its many fears, guilts and regrets! Take this moment to claim and embrace a new feeling of harmony, of joy and love. Like buds waiting to open into a gorgeous blossom, be willing to move toward your space/time future with expectation, exuberance and gratitude!

Your upcoming space/time experience is much like nature’s physical pattern of seeding a plant or flower and then energizing the seed for further growth so it can eventually blossom into its outward expression to be enjoyed and truly appreciated by those with eyes and hearts to appreciate it.

Beloveds, it is time to remember your personal creative powers and accept your own role as seedlings, then being quietly supporting by the divine process, and eventually blossoming forth to find yourself surrounded in a garden with other flowers like yourself. Nature is never stingy if given the right ingredients to complete the natural pattern of growth and creative expression.

In a similar way, your Creative Parent is never stingy in creating, or seeding, souls! How each unique soul then chooses to express its innate power as a creative, divine being is never limited by God.  Indeed, each of you may behave in your own creative pattern of expression, experimenting as you wish.

Eventually, as a creator, you discover that unloving feelings and negative energy actions do not bring pleasurable results! That is why a love-filled heart must rule in the creative process lest unloving mental or emotional thoughts and actions are extended to others that will later cause personal heartache and suffering...to them ...and you.

Because it is difficult to live in a physical body during dark galactic cycles without supportive light energies from higher consciousness sources, that is why you have had angelic support, and incarnations from individuals such as myself to give you guidelines and examples of how best to live.

I stressed love and what you call forgiveness because when I came to teach, the earth was in a very dark period of consciousness—and humanity was barely able to grasp the concept of “love your neighbor as yourself.” People greatly needed rules of behavior and an example of love’s power in everyday life in order to honor their own divine beingness—and then extend their caring to others through the power of love and oneness.

Today, I am delighted to share that many of you, from a wide variety of belief systems, are beginning to feel the power of true caring and compassion for one another, and are opening your soul’s guidance to express that eternally available love. Now you are becoming more advanced teachers who embody and exemplify the wisdom and love of your true Mother/Father.

Dear hearts, let us pause again for you to breathe and remember who you really are. Breathe and feel your divinity. Breathe and remember your identity as you continue breathing and feeling the joy and love that you can express in this life. REMEMBER, beloveds! REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE! Now breathe deeply and remember that inside your misinformed personhood you are wise of heart, pure of mind.

Yes, detours may occur as you learn to use a fuller expression of love with others, but by your recognition of loveless thoughts and actions, and the use of willingness to “make things right” again, you will garner a lifetime of spiritual satisfaction, love and joy. I urge you again to forgive yourself for anything real or imagined that you painfully remember so it can be easily released during this down-pouring of photon frequency power.

Once again I recommend that you DELIBERATELY take time to make a written or mental list of any person or event you still regretfully remember and forgive yourself and the other person or circumstances that caused you emotional pain. Release the situation or person - whether real or imagined. It is time, dear hearts, to complete any of these negative energies and move forward into healthy and joyful living. This gift of forgiveness frees up negativity and automatically increases your own consciousness just as the cleansing of a house, an auto, or clothes makes an obvious difference.

As I shared with you in an earlier newsletter, your physical body has laughter as a built-in capacity to help release negative feelings that you usually “stuff down” when they have been very painful. But you must choose to use it!!!!!!!! Let me repeat that idea.
Humans always have laughter as an available built-in gift to help release pain and suffering.

So if you ask what a person can do to heal and release these stored negative energies once they have been experienced, I would encourage you to trust and utilize laughter as part of your health regime—along with treating the body responsibly while is goes through the photon change, of course.

Once again, and believe it or not, laughter is your friend—a gift of the Almighty. But you must trust and embrace its gift to help cleanse and heal those unwanted negative emotions. Indeed, with laughter, many of those lingering past limitations may be eased. Yet many people doubt and say, “But how can laughter help heal me? Isn’t that the job of doctors and pills and modern processes?”

To answer that, let me remind you that as a child of God you are capable of listening within to receive spiritual information and ongoing support, even as I was capable of demonstrating that process 2,000 years ago on this planet. Part of my intention then, and now, is to use appropriate healing methods, including laughter, to help people remain healthy and joyful.

Then let me expand on this vital message regarding laughter and explain how your body can automatically utilize laughter to release the negativity that prompts disease and unhappiness As some of you know, until nearly a hundred years ago in America, natural healing methods were quite common. Now, with technology’s advancement, much of that has been lost in America but its helpful concepts are still critical along with learning to laugh.

So each of you can learn how to be more of a self-healer by fulfilling certain basic needs like proper food, water, rest and sleep, recreation...and laughter! Indeed, since laughter is already built inside your body’s nature, it is highly recommended that you begin laughing as often and openly as you can.

Many people may be saying something like: “Are you serious? The world doesn’t have much to laugh about these days.” And my reply, beloveds, is that you will not be laughing at the misery and suffering of others... or even at your own pain. You will laugh at jokes unrelated to your own personal misery because there are innumerable funny remarks and stories in books, on TV and radio, comedy clubs, or even online where you can join laughter groups for fun.

But let me clarify the difference between laughter and humor so you are not confused.
Laughter is innate which is to say that you are born with the ability to laugh, giggle, and even holler uproariously. Your laughter is uniquely your own expression and can be identified by others as your laugh style. Human babies can be pleasurably tickled, and so can your nearest mammal relatives—the primates. Also, according to research currently being done on rats, some scientists believe that even rats respond to certain human touching with joyfulness and excitement.

Please understand that laughter is automatic in humans and can be quite contagious. It is usual for a hearty laugh by one person in the group to cause a fun-filled outbreak for others. It usually provides an instantaneous connection. Other than the contagious nature of love, laughter is a dear and positive connection among the human family. You had a famous comedian who said, “Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.”

Humor, on the other hand, is a personal interpretation of what you perceive as funny, usually caused and acquired early in your personal family circle and local cultural attitudes.  Most children learn what is appropriate to laugh about—versus what is unacceptable —and they tend to maintain those early perceptions. That is why you see such a difference between personalized humor and the out-and-out human biology response of laughter. Because humor is subjective and learned, it cannot always be shared whereas laughter is biological and usually binds people together. Even a group of strangers can be brought together by shared laughing.

I could write an entire book about laughter’s values but today I will just quickly identify the most important health benefits for you – some of which you already know.

First: Laughter triggers the release of endorphins which are your brain’s ”feel good” chemicals, often relieving pain and promoting an overall sense of well-being.
Second: Laughter also boosts your immune system which you all desperately need during these current photon high energy times that affect you on so many levels. Third: Laughter also protects your heart by improving the function of your blood vessels and by increasing the body’s blood flow.

And last, but not least, two other important gifts occur. Hearty Laughter can relieve physical tension and stress - leaving your muscles relaxed for a half hour to 45 minutes.
And it can also quickly change your disposition and release any despondency feelings or negative attitudes.

I hope to have convinced you that laughter is your healing inner friend and is a needed tonic to aid what you are going through with the intense photon energy frequencies these days. It is truly a God-given helpmate to humanity at every age! It helps you be alert, focused and grounded. So in addition to its pure joy, this medicine is free and easy to use at a moment’s notice. Help the children use this truth in their own lives, as a major gift of your parental responsibilities, and the world will be a better place.

Although this release of pain is easily explained once you understand the workings of the brain, hormones and other bodily functions, there are not enough people who understand human physiology so they find it difficult to believe there is a serious relationship between laughter and healing. This is not a new idea, however. So it may help you establish or reinforce your belief about laughter’s value by reviewing some written evidence from various religions and philosophies. You can read about them in books or go online for sources you can use in helping other people understand the value of laughter...both in olden times and currently.

From earlier times there is much written evidence...and even in the Bible there are several quotations that you may already know... such as: “A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance but by sorrow of the heart, the spirit is broken.” (Proverbs15:13) 
... or ...   from King Solomon who gave an early written account regarding the healing power of humor and laughter including “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.” (Proverbs17:22)

Another popular one from the Old Testament states that: “Then was our mouth filled with laughter and our tongue with singing.” (Psalms126:2)  And who could forget the suggestion “To make a joyful noise unto the Lord”?

This is but a sample of many others. Unfortunately, some religious groups have taken up the belief that being somber is the best way to honor God and therefore do not encourage Laughter.

But let me bring you back to more recent times and share some thoughts that may be beneficial in helping you strengthen your own belief that laughter really is your healing ally...so you can personally choose to experience its value and then share it with others.
 
Several successful surgeons have dared to share jokes with their patients in the recovery room bringing faster recovery times than when they did not tell jokes. And a famous editor called Norman Cousins who was stricken with a severe connective tissue disease that doctors could not heal simply went home to misery and probable death. However, he took many vitamin C pills and began watching comedian programs like the Marx Brothers until the combination eventually cured him.

Because he noticed that watching something funny could relieve his excruciating pain, he later wrote an influential book about his unexpected recovery and became an active speaker about laughter and healing.
 
If laughter is good for people, then you might expect people who are comedians—who earn their living telling jokes and making people laugh—to live long lives. Indeed, there are past examples of comedians living to 99 or 100 years such as Bob Hope and George Burns.

And even if laughter doesn’t extend the physical life’s duration to a hundred years, it certainly adds pleasure to the years one does have...as well as the pleasure one gives to the lives of loved ones and friends, and to the global family!

Beloveds, there is so little we of heaven can do to help you create a life filled with peace, love and joy except to enumerate and encourage the divine gifts you already have available within you. Due to the enormous challenges being presented to humanity now, I wanted to urgently emphasis that while you cannot laugh at the world’s misery and suffering, you can still allow your body its ability to laugh for your health’s sake...even as you choose to be supportive to those who suffer misfortune.

Beloveds, knowing that as you release the events at hand, your psyche will be better prepared to balance yourself not only for those painful past circumstances—but for those that may yet require further growth.

As I have previously indicated, this cleansing of the materialistic greed—a pattern too commonly accepted in America and other technological countries—and even now exported elsewhere—was a dedication to what some religious teachings have called “false Gods.” So a return to compassion and brotherly/sisterly love is required.

Then welcome the incoming photon frequencies and their gift to humanity’s  consciousness, and let its light help stir heart awareness as a way of daily life. As you experience or observe trauma or loss, let both the photon energies and laughter help you remember your spiritual purposes and be about helping the Mother/Father’s plans for planet earth and your solar system!

We of heaven honor your journey and support your growing connection to your soul’s guidance with its increasing spiritual synchronicities. If you have not noticed, these photon frequencies make it vastly easier to be creative and to make helpful connections.   Take advantage of this photonic stimulation in your body and life, and enjoy the shift.

The time to claim your creative power in higher realms and bring it down into earth to advance the power of your earthly communities is NOW.  By fulfilling your personal creativity more willingly, your own efforts can be easily combined into group or community creativity—where the power of “two or more are gathered” resides.

I leave you only through these written words, beloved, for each of you is in my heart, as you are in mine if you wish it. As your elder brother, then, I commit to loving and encouraging you. And as a universal emissary of light yourself, I ask you to help others in your own special way. It is for this you came.

BLESSED BE,

CHRIST JESUS

MESSAGE FROM VIRGINIA

Dear Love Corps friends and family,

This has certainly been a crazy time in my life. Like many people, I have been having unexpected challenges—this time dental surgery. And not just once but twice!

So after feeling sorry for myself I finally did what Jesus recommends about using laughter. I got a book of jokes and flipped through to find some that got me chuckling.
Later on, while starting a new reading list on Laughter for our Share Foundation web site (requested by our elder brother) I discovered there are actually many online Laughter sites available! 

One, especially, that had a whole group of people laughing super hard, really got me going, so I can recommend watching online Laughter examples if you aren’t connected with a personal group where laughter flows. There are even Laughter Clubs, it seems, so no one needs to be left out of the healing joy. Maybe one of you will choose to start a Laughter group yourself? Or, as I have done, introduce the idea within groups I already attend and let the idea take root there.

I am looking forward to having Richard Bartlett back in San Francisco for a Matrix event the first weekend of October, and if all goes well, to be with Tom Kenyon and the Hathors in Seattle about a month later. We are each encouraged to be with our spiritual groups and organizations as often as possible during this challenging epoch, and if we can’t meet in person to definitely stay connected by reading any messages, speaking by phone, exchanging emailing, etc.

As mentioned, Jesus wants me to create a reading list on Laughter, so I invite any of your who have had experience with Laughter in your healing experience, or who have books or visual materials you enjoy on Laughter to call me at home: 408 248-8244 or email me your ideas to: lovecorps@sharefoundationnetwork.com

I close this particular sharing today with immense gratitude for your support to our work over these 25 years, and also with the thanks of our board of directors and web master who make our organization function.

Always your loving spiritual sister,
 
Virginia
