In our lives we have learnt many skills like reading, writing, science, music and art but very few of us have learnt the true Art of Living - how to live stress free and be happy. Thus while the quality of life depends on the quality of our mind, we have rarely been taught how to handle the mind and our negative emotions such as anger, depression, anxiety and stress.
The Art of Living courses incorporate simple yet powerful techniques that eliminate physical and emotional stresses and improve clarity of thought. Developed by His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the courses are a unique combination of the best of ancient wisdom and modern science.
Our courses cater to every age group and section of society, from children to adults, from rural villages to high-tech corporations. Experience shows that our courses are effective in:
* Eliminating everyday stresses
* Increasing overall health and mental well-being
* Increasing mental clarity and greater joy and peace in life
* Improving relationships and bringing sustained emotional balance
* Dealing with post-traumatic stress
* Reducing alcoholism and drug abuse
One of the key techniques taught on the Art of Living courses is the Sudarshan Kriya®, a special breathing technique that triggers the mind and body to release stress. This powerful practice has a profound effect on the body, mind and spirit.
These programmes are currently being conducted in over 140 countries across the world. Over 20 million people have benefited from these programmes.
