FlowingLove (Daniel Siegel) says that participating in spontaneous exploration of life with others in engaging, pleasurable, and non-judgmental ways is crucial for a healthy and fulfilling life throughout our life span. When clowns are spontaneous and having fun, the brains grow. It allows the brain to become active in new and unpredictable ways that are good for it to grow and solidify new connections, which is the basis of creativity and innovation.
But FlowingLove points out that adult clowns often forget to play, and their social engagement system, a set of circuits in the brain that make learning fun, becomes rusty and can shut down.
So FlowingLove joined and improv class and started rollerblading around the neighborhood.
Micko likes to throw pies in other clowns’ faces.
Would you consider adding some sort of playtime to your Love Experiments?
Maybe Laughing Yoga?
