The rain, the grass, the trees, the sun, the bees, the flowers - the spiders that hide in the corners this time of year and make teenage girls jump and scream!
Oh yes, there is no way I ever get a chance to notice these little wonders!
The tiniest of spiders that are considered lucky - they are the young spiders that brings witness to the older spiders' productive breeding season...
In Denmark we call them 'Flying Summer' because they crawl out on branches and make a small thread which once it is long enough the wind will sweep the little spider away to new places.
Of course, it is a bit early in the season to talk about 'flying sommer' because they do not take off until late summer or early autumn.
So why mention them now?
A similar thing happens just now......
Now is the time where young people go on study leave for the final GCSE exams in their secondary school experience - next step on the way is 6th Form or college or whichever choice these amazing and talented youngsters make.
Exam time is a stressful time in a person's study no matter age and level of study - it is a testing time where we set ourselves unprecedented expectations and of course the young people in our care - we want them to do well!
How fantastic it would be to find Laughter Yoga on the curriculum for any future exam-go'er! The way in which we can deal with stressful situations following a good set of laughter exercises has tremendous value to anyone who try this practice.
'Laughter is one of the finest, most economical and easy-to-practice anti-stress measures. Laughter is one of the best muscle-relaxants. Laughter expands blood vessels and sends more blood to the extremities and muscles all over the body. A good bout of laughter also reduces the levels of stress hormones, epineprine and cortisol.'
I look forward to Laughter Yoga and Therapeutic Laughter being added to the standard learnings in all schools around the world - now THAT is a vision!
Good luck to you all!
