"When you let go, your mind can be in the present moment, more and more
and more and more. You are able to smile and laugh from the depth of your heart. Life becomes more light and easy."
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
The Art of Living courses adapt ancient wisdom and yogic practices to enrich modern life. These courses offer practical methods to eliminate stress and enhance all aspects of individual life.
These courses teach us to use the breath to bring our minds into the present moment, where joy, clarity and peace of mind reside. "The breath is the link between the body and the mind - every rhythm of the mind has a corresponding rhythm in the breath. When you cannot directly handle the mind, it is easy to do so through the breath."
The
Part I Course, which is central to all the other courses offered by the
Foundation, is open to all those over the age of 18. During the course,
you will discover the influences that govern the mind, as well as
skills for dealing effectively with negative emotions.
This deeply introspective and fun course is enjoyed by people of all backgrounds, cultures and traditions
in more than 140 countries. It does not conflict with any religious or
spiritual practices - rather, it enhances both by allowing participants
to experience the very inner core of their being.
The cornerstone of the course is a revitalising and unique breathing technique known as the Sudarshan Kriya® which releases stress and toxins at the physical, mental and emotional
level, thereby promoting better health on all these levels
Due
to the pressure and strain of modern living, negative emotions get
stored in every cell of our body in the form of toxins. Through
specific rhythms of the breath, Sudarshan Kriya® floods our system with cleansing, life-supporting energy, and restores harmony to our whole being.
It is known to have beneficial effects on the physiology, nervous
system, endocrine system and the immune system. One feels renewed, both
physically and emotionally. It need only be practiced a few minutes a
day to produce life-changing results.
