Experience Peace of Mind
Much of the stress or limitations in life come from vacillating between
regret about the past or worry about the future. And yet, the present
is the only place that happiness can be experienced. A remarkable
feature of the course is that participants are able to re-discover the
present moment — not as a concept but as a direct experience.
Simple Techniques for Daily Life
Participants leave with simple but powerful techniques they can
practice every day, and an extraordinary weekly group practice is
available in many areas. These practices are sacred treasures that grow
in value over the years, helping the benefits continue to blossom in
daily life.
Sudarshan Kriya: The masterpiece of the Art of Living Course is a powerful breathing-based technique called Sudarshan Kriya,
or the healing breath. Sudarshan Kriya incorporates specific natural
rhythms of breath to release stress and bring the mind to the present
moment. The course also includes other breathing techniques,
meditation, low-impact yoga, and skills for dealing effectively with
challenging emotions and situations.
Several independent studies
on the numerous mental and physical health benefits of the course have
been published in international peer-reviewed journals and confirm what
participants commonly report.
The Art of Living Course has been enjoyed by people of
all traditions, religions, and walks of life, in universities,
churches, governments, businesses, prisons, war zones, community rooms,
and living rooms. The course is complete in itself and is also a foundation for other Art of Living programs. |
