| The Therapy
of Happiness workshops are held
in hospitals with children that suffer from severe
burns, cancer or other degenerative diseases.
The goal of these workshops is to bring encouragement
through joy, which changes the chemical function
of the physical body. Some of the benefits of
this therapy are: it increases oxygen in the blood
and augments cell growth, it activates the immune
system and stimulates the appetite. It also has
been proven to alleviate stress and encourage
positive thinking, complementing the medical treatment,
which results in a more integral healing of the
young patient. A good sense of humor and loving
interaction are key factors to help these children
face the anxiety and fears that affect their daily
lives.
