Giggles and guffaws filled the halls of an elderly home in Manila as its residents gathered for an unusual therapy session。

　　The seniors were practicing laughter yoga, a form of exercise that aims to help them awaken their senses and punctuate their long bouts of solitude。

　　Guidance counsellor Paolo Trinidad says laughing away problems will promote a healthier mindset, and he has embarked on a mission to spread the laughter and the good vibes。

　　Laughter yoga involves self-triggered laughter that is not necessarily initiated by humour. The exercise routines combine yoga breathing techniques and laughter simulation with stretching, chanting and role playing。

　　"That's the gist of laughter yoga. We will be laughing without any reason, no jokes. We will be laughing because we want to be healthy. We have to have a good mind, good mindset," laughter yoga professor Paolo Trinidad said。

　　Mr Trinidad conducts laughter yoga sessions in other institutions, including an abused children's shelter, a cancer ward, schools and corporate offices。

　　菲律賓馬尼拉一家老人院的大廳里常常充滿了人們的各種笑聲，這是老人們聚在一起接受一項(xiàng)特別的治療。

　　老人們練習(xí)的是一種大笑瑜伽，一項(xiàng)旨在幫助他們喚醒感官、驅(qū)散孤獨(dú)感的活動(dòng)。

　　大笑瑜伽指導(dǎo)顧問(wèn)保羅?特立尼達(dá)說(shuō)，用笑來(lái)驅(qū)除煩惱能夠促進(jìn)心理健康。目前保羅正從事一項(xiàng)傳播笑聲和擴(kuò)散良好氛圍的任務(wù)。

　　大笑瑜伽需要的是一種自發(fā)性的笑，不一定是被逗笑。這種瑜伽將瑜伽呼吸技巧、大笑模仿與伸展、吟唱和角色扮演等活動(dòng)結(jié)合在了一起。

　　教授大笑瑜伽的保羅?特立尼達(dá)說(shuō)：“這就是大笑瑜伽的要義所在。我們要沒(méi)有任何理由地去笑，而不是因?yàn)樾υ挾?。我們笑是因?yàn)槲覀兿Ｍ幸粋€(gè)健康的身體。我們想要有一個(gè)好的心態(tài)。”

　　特立尼達(dá)還在其他機(jī)構(gòu)開(kāi)設(shè)了大笑瑜伽課程，其中包括受虐兒童收容所、癌癥病房、學(xué)校和公司的辦公場(chǎng)所。
