"Words cannot capture existence, but Silence can."
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
This course is generally offered as in-residence course and is held over 4 days in a retreat-like natural setting. The Part II Courses is about true relaxation and builds on the information already learned in the Art of Living Part I Course. Here you will dive deeper into your self... and come back refreshed in body, mind and spirit.
Silence
Prayer within breath Is silence
Love within Infinity Is silence
Wisdom without word Is silence
Compassion without aim Is silence
Action without doer Is silence
Smiling with all the Existence Is silence!
One of the powerful processes you will experience
on an advanced course is keeping silent. The practice of silence has
been known throughout the ages, in many different traditions and
cultures, as a great tool for enhancing self-discovery. Maintaining
silence, even for just a few days, can have remarkable effects on the
system, reviving energy and enthusiasm and providing deep rest for the
mind and body.
Other elements of the course include building
energy through yoga asanas (postures) and meditation (Sadhana). Silence
takes you deeper into yourself, Sadhana builds Energy, Satsang
(celebration) maintains it. It will leave you with a big smile that radiates all the way from within.
Completion
of the Part I course is a prerequisite for the Part II course. The
experience of the course cannot be described. You will discover a
sanctuary inside yourself and grow the deep connection to your own
inner peace of mind and true self. Thereafter your way back home is
forever defined and easily returned to through your own personal
practices.
