In this short, uplifting episode of Whole Again, Michael O’Brien guides you through a laughter meditation, a microdose of mindfulness inspired by ancient Stoic, Buddhist, and yogic practices.

Laughter can do more than lighten your mood. It improves cardiovascular health, boosts emotional resilience, and helps you reconnect with your body after physical injury or trauma. This guided practice takes just a couple of minutes and can be done anywhere—sitting at your desk, on a walk, or during a midday reset.

Whether you’re navigating recovery, feeling stressed, or simply need a moment of joy, this microdose meditation is designed to help you:

• Release tension and shift your energy
• Strengthen your mind-body connection
• Spark endorphins and reduce stress hormones
• Feel more grounded, present, and whole again

Take a deep breath, settle in, and laugh from your belly. You may just get one of the best ab workouts of your life—while nourishing your mental and emotional wellbeing.

What You’ll Experience:

• A short, guided laughter meditation rooted in ancient traditions
• How intentional laughter can support your cardiovascular and emotional health
• A joyful reset you can return to whenever you need it

Inspired by the art of kintsugi, the podcast embodies healing as a transformative process, encouraging a shift in perspective from worry and overwhelm to gratitude and personal growth.
