Earlier today my mom and I attended a <em>laughter yoga<\/em> meeting in a local park. As the group\u00a0 sat on the grass, the facilitator led us through our final laughter exercise.\u00a0 He told the story that in celebration of World Laughter Day, the earth was sharing jokes with our hands and feet. Slowly those jokes traveled through skin, muscle and bone towards the center of our body. The elbows were a bit slow and needed to have the jokes retold by the thigh bones.\u00a0 Our heart got the jokes and laughed and laughed. Eventually the jokes traveled to the top of our head. (heads???) The hairs thought the jokes shared by mother earth were so funny that the hairs had a party, and curled with laughter.<\/p>\n<p>Attending my first laughter yoga meeting was just one of the \u201cresearch\u201d opportunities that showed up to provide material to complete this column. Gathering thoughts, emotions and words for this column has been a lot of fun. A few of the areas we will explore include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reliving the magic of doing caring clowning in Costa Rica with Dr. Patch Adams and team.<\/li>\n<li>Meeting and claiming the\u00a0 \u201cCabbage Head\u201d part of myself<\/li>\n<li>Gaining clarity about what it means to \u201chold space\u201d and \u201clighten up\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Last fall I joined the Gesundheit! Institute Caring Clown trip to Costa Rica.\u00a0 (http:\/\/patchadams.org\/ ) Our group consisted of about 20 volunteers that ranged in age from 13 to 64 years old and originated from Canada to South America and Japan. Dressed as clowns we visited a children\u2019s hospital, a\u00a0 San Jose \u201cghetto\u201d, a psychiatric hospital and a women\u2019s prison. We were encouraged to be present with open hearts and no cameras so most of my memories of that transformational trip are recorded in the camera of my heart. So I will share some journal snapshots of Caring Clowns in Costa Rica.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Children\u2019s Hospital<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Children\u2019s response to my parakeet puppet:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A 10 year old boy \u2013 sad and telling the story about other youth using rocks to kill the parakeets that live in his village church.<\/li>\n<li>A 9 year old girl who grabbed the puppet and wanted to twist off its head, the other children and I holding space for her to transform her anger to tickling the puppet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Wow \u2013 from clowning to a triggering a window for environmental education and an opportunity for play therapy.<\/p>\n<p>What else is possible?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Psychiatric Hospital <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The synchronicity (aka magic, power, unity)\u00a0 of a patient having a large tattoo of a tall thin clown on his back<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Eight medical students plus Patch standing clustered in his underwear, surrounded by circle of psychiatric patients giving them all a hug.

About two weeks ago, I attended a relationship workshop led by Joan King <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cellular-wisdom.com\/\">http:\/\/www.cellular-wisdom.com\/<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 I received two gifts at the workshop\u00a0 &#8211;\u00a0 a comment from a fellow participant and\u00a0 a visual image that appeared to me during a meditation. My friend committed to <em>\u201cinvite and welcome the unknown\u201d <\/em>into her life. As someone who has spent many hours worrying about and avoiding the unknown, I loved my friend\u2019s affirmation. <em>\u00a0<\/em>Within three days, this message was twice repeated in written form \u2013 once while visiting my mother\u2019s church and once again while attending\u00a0 my daughter\u2019s church.\u00a0 To me the \u201cunknown\u201d is that pool of infinity; the tao; the source; and by not only holding space for it but INVITING and WELCOMING I am opening my life to infinite possibility on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>Also,\u00a0\u00a0 during the workshop, I experienced the clear vision and\u00a0 sensation\u00a0 of a head of cabbage in my lap. Given that I was in the midst of a fairly deep and quiet meditation, and given that I don\u2019t usually have clear images, I was quite surprised and burst into laughter. I later decided that this aspect of myself would be named\u00a0 \u201cCabbage Head.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Every time I reconnect with that image and energy I LAUGH. I also have found many more opportunities to laugh, to be <strong>SILLLY.<\/strong>\u00a0 Going back to that definition of silly as \u201chappy, blissful, kindhearted and blessed\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So I sincerely wish YOU the SPACE for the unknown to manifest in unexpected SILLY WAYS<\/p>\n<p>With love and gratitude<\/p>\n<p>The dancing doc<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/yang-sheng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/sharon-montes.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2653\" src=\"http:\/\/yang-sheng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/sharon-montes.jpg\" alt=\"sharon montes\" width=\"96\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a>Sharon Montes, M.D. \u2013 practiced and taught family medicine in medical schools for 17 years.
