What happens when we laugh?

Laughter is the healing release of suppressed energies, a spontaneous expression that restores balance and sanity in a world that often stifles our true selves.

— Osho
According to Osho, laughter is the spontaneous release of accumulated energies that build up through daily repression. When understanding dawns, those pent-up energies discharge as laughter; it may look hysterical, yet it is actually healing relief, preventing real hysteria and madness. Society’s control stifles expression; instead, consciously allow and channel laughter and other energies creatively to restore balance and sanity.

Laughing lets stuck feelings out safely when you finally “get it,” so you don’t explode inside.
