You need to relax; it will help you  feel better and once you have begun to relax or meditate regularly, the experience will transform you.

Laughter is incorporated as a permanent part of who you are, it attracts friends, improves health and extends life. When we laugh, every organ in the body is affected a positive way. Our breathing quickens, which exercises the diaphragm, neck, stomach, face and shoulders.  Laughter increases the amount of oxygen in the blood, which not only helps healing and improves circulation, it also expands the blood vessels close to the skin's surface. when they laugh. It can also lower the heart rate, dilate the arteries, stimulate the appetite and burn up calories.  Neurologist Henri Rubenstein found that one minute of solid laughter provides up to 45 minutes of subsequent relaxation.

Shaking hands is a relic of our ancient past. Whenever primitive tribes met under friendly conditions, they would hold their arms out with their palms exposed to show that no weapon were being held or concealed. In Roman times, the practice of carrying a concealed dagger in the sleeve was common so for protection the Romans developed the Lower Arm-Grasp as a common greeting. The modern form of this ancient greeting ritual is the inter-locking and shaking of the palms and was originally used in the nineteenth century to seal commercial transactions between men of equal status. It has become widespread only in the last hundred years or so and has always remained in the male domain until recent times.  In most Western and European countries today it is performed both on initial greeting and on departure in all business contexts, and increasingly at parties and social events by both women and men. The handshake evolved as a way men could cement a commercial deal with ...

Here's a story to demonstrate the point: Two men were walking through the woods when they came across a big deep hole.  'Wow ... that looks deep,' says one. 'Let's toss a few pebbles in and see how deep it is. They threw in a  few pebbles and waited, but there was no sound. Gee - that is a really deep hole. Let's throw one of these  big rocks in. That should make a noise.  They picked up two  football-sized rocks and tossed them into the hole and waited, but still they heard nothing. There's a railway sleeper over here in the weeds,' said one. If we toss that in, it's definitely going to make some noise.  They dragged the heavy sleeper over to the hole and heaved it in, but not a sound came from the hol...
