Pragmatically speaking, laughter heals you by causing your diaphragm, the large transverse muscle at the upper abdominal level that provides your lungs their bellow motion, to flicker repeatedly--to contract and release rhythmically--until all the tension you’ve been holding in your solar plexus dissolves. This tension otherwise accumulates there because this is the region of the body responsible for processing incoming information, whether in the form of food, which is then transformed into nutrients in the bloodstream, or in the form of ideas, which are then transformed into nutrients for the mind.--Awakening the Laughing Buddha Within, by Joe Hoare and Stephen Russell
