Humor and Emotional Balance

I haven't reprised anything from Feb 2006 yet.

These three articles were not written as a series, but I must have been thinking much about how humor is indicative of emotional stability, among both individuals and nations.

There are two essays on Self-Mockery, here and here.
And a third on The Punchline as Stereotype.

I had forgotten it was exactly a year ago that Ben worked at the Olympics in Torino. That seems like two years now.

    For over 30 years I experienced several life threatening chronic illnesses. Through the Grace of God I was lead to several people and organizations that aided me in understanding, positively dealing with and transforming these illnesses. For the past few years I have devoted my life to sharing what I have learned with others. The two most impactful organizations I was lead to are The Institute of HeartMath (www.emotionalmastery.com) and Landmark Education (www.landmarkeducation.com).

    The American Institute of Stress and The Centers for Disease Control have both reported that up to 90% of all illnesses are due to stress. I was lead to The Institute of HeartMath in 1997 and discovered that all of my illnesses were due to stress and unmanaged emotions I had been experiencing in my life. Through learning and practicing HeartMath’s tools and technologies, I am able to prevent, manage and reverse the effects of stress and unmanaged emotions, in-the-moment, achieve better health, more energy, improved mental and emotional clarity, and improved performance and relationships. HeartMath’s tools and technologies are scientifically substantiated; they literally saved my life.

    Landmark Education provided me with the knowledge and tools to identify and put in my past, barriers that were stopping me from living a powerful life and a life I love. Through this Education, I have reached an unshakeable Faith.

    I knew nothing about Landmark before this post, but did a little research. It is controversial, to say the least. Some consider it to be the old EST seminars updated. For a really negative view: http://www.rickross.com/reference/landmark/landmark26.html
