7

Whenever you have the chance, laugh as much as you can.

By this all the rigid knots in your body will be loosened. But to laugh superficially is not enough: your whole being must be united in laughter, both inwardly and outwardly. Do you know how this is expressed?

You literally shake with merriment from head to foot, so that it is impossible to tell which part of your body is most affected.

What you usually do is laugh with your mouth, while your emotions are held in check. But I want you to laugh with your whole countenance, with your whole heart and with all the breath of your life.
