Port Blair, Aug 10: On 09th August 2023, CRC A&N-Islands started the recreational sessions on Martial Arts and Laughter Therapy for Divyangjans clients of CRC A&N. Living with a disability is a huge challenge and can be hard to deal with. It can lead to severe mental trauma or stress. People are prone to negative feelings and emotions that undermines all rationality and gives rise to a confusing mindset regarding one’s own image and capabilities. One undergoes an all time low and sensations of self pity and self worthless set in. Laughter therapy has the ability to elevate the mood state: it helps cope with physical and mental disability and provides relief from feelings of negativity.
And as well Self-defense can be one reason to learn martial arts. But for someone with a disability, simply knowing that one has knowledge and confidence in a situation can be very empowering, relaxing their muscles, drain out their excess energy which will reflect in their behavior also. International laughter Ambassador and the founder of “Global Academy of Modern Fitness” Ex Sub Inspector A&N Police Mr. M. S. Murugan has been conducting the martial arts and laughter therapy sessions for Divyangjans at CRC A&N-Islands at free of cost. The session was inaugurated by Mrs. Sumithamol, Resident Nodal Officer, CRC A&N-Islands.
Totally, 21 divyangjans and staff members also participated and enjoyed the sessions. CRC A&N-Islands is inviting and encouraging the Divyangjans residing in Port Blair to participate in the session on every Wednesday from 9.30 to 10.20am at CRC A&N-Islands, Brookshabad free of cost.
