~HAPPY FRIENDS FRIDAY (#FF) FROM YOUR FRIENDS AT ICHM CANADA~

Laughter: Can It Keep You Healthy? Laughter may not be the best medicine, but its positive effects on your mind and body are no joke. Scores of hospitals and cancer centres around the United States are taking humour seriously enough to create rooms, television channels and even libraries dedicated to humour.... The purpose is to use humour, not as a cure, but as a complement to the natural healing process. The precise relationship between your state of mind and its effect on your body is still largely uncharted territory. But for years, doctors have recognized an aspect of healing that cannot be viewed under a microscope or measured in your blood. Feelings and attitudes appear to play an important role in health. | ICHM Handbook & Resource Manual, p. 253

BREAKING THE CHANGE BARRIER Transformation. Isn’t that what the church is all aboutchanging people? And not just changing their mind but also their heart, their way of understanding themselves and their relationship to #God? Right behaviour will flow out of a mind and heart that have experienced transformation. Nobody in the health care field is better positioned to address the issue of transformation than those of us in the church. That’s our uniqueness, what distinguishes us from others who are pushing health promotionfor purely physical, or self-seeking reasonsas the most important aspect of health care for the future. | ICHM Handbook & Resource Manual, p. 13
