Adi Da Ha Ha - Laughter inpired by Adi Da Samraj

Hi Frank, I got a book about Adi Da about 2 years ago and have known of him for several more. I've been following your uploads of Adi Da on youtube and have crafted a laughter method inspired by what Adi Da Samraj has to say about self-contraction. I found some comments of yours today regarding happiness and added those at the bottom of the technique as well. I will be following up with a second email, sharing my efforts at diet.

Adi Da Samraj is an amazing spiritual master (body deceased).

In [this talk]() he discusses the body-mind as self-contraction. 

He also makes it clear that no technique or action within the bodymind can lead to realization of what he calls "The Bright." Therefore, it is understood that this technique, the Adi Da Ha Ha, is not a valid way of genuine liberation. I'm certain that neither Adi Da or his post-mortem organization would condone it. That being said, it is a _powerful_ powerful way to knock out self-imposed limits quickly. I laugh every morning and this technique trumped all my previous techniques by far.

# Instructions

1. Sit down
2. Relax
3. Notice any sense of self-contraction
4. Laugh at the self-contraction as if it is the most absurd thing ever - the idea that you could ever be limited!
5. Goto step 2

# Reflection:

I simply cant get over how much volume and resonance projects from his body with so little apparent vocal effort. His mouth is hardly moving and yet he projects barrels of harmonic outflow!

# An advanced student speaks on happiness

[In this video]() we read the words of [Frank Marerro](http://www.frankmarrero.com) -

IF happiness were a subjective feeling, yes. But happiness is the feeling of reality itself. If you are not perfectly happy, there is a the delusion of un-reality. We must grow in the responsibility for our own disturbance and un-seen action that creates un-happiness, un-reality. Like He said, "I am not full, nor do I feel fulfilled. I am lost in the Fullness."
