Iā€™ve yet to click on the link, but I love that you titled your post ā€œfoot ticklerā€ and then imply that you donā€™t know anything about it but are just sharing. Thanks for the chuckle. I needed that. Just had to say so before getting side tracked by the link and the details of whatever a foot tickler actually isā€¦ :)

Actually I did read the link and have read so much on here that this seems no more outlandish than lots of things! I've tried laughing yoga and understand that it's very beneficial.

However, I cringed when I did read this article as I can't imagine anything more likely to bring on a bout of RL than tickling my feet. I once had a foot reflexology session given as a gift and couldn't even tolerate five minutes of it without my legs being set off; after about 8 minutes of it on one foot while I writhed the other leg and I was screaming for her to stop! a complete disaster!

The MOST interesting sentence in the article was 'She has studied how rats respond to tickling and found they need to be in a positive state of mind for it to induce laughter.' Anyone on here ever seen a rat laugh!!!

However, for some, who knows what it will do!
