Technique name: Art of living

About technique: The Sudarshan Kriya, a unique and powerful breathing technique, is the heart of Art of Living programmes. Nature is replete with various rhythms and cycles - day follows night, night follows day, seasons come and go, etc. Similarly, there are biological rhythms to our bodies, minds and emotions. When these rhythms are in sync, we feel a sense of harmony and well-being. When stress or illness throws them out of order, we experience discomfort and discontent and feel upset and unhappy

Process: The rhythmic breathing pattern of the Sudarshan Kriya harmonises the rhythms of the body and emotions and brings them in tune with the rhythms of nature. The breath connects the body and mind. Just as emotions affect our patterns of breathing, we can bring about changes in our mental and behavioural patterns by altering the rhythm of our breath. It flushes our anger, anxiety and worry; leaving the mind completely relaxed and energised.

Key results areas: The results of Sudarshan Kriya have been amazing and they have even surprised medical fraternity across the world. A doctor from Germany was suffering from metastatic cancer that had spread to her brain and liver when she came to attend her first Art of Living programme. She did the course lying down. Two courses later, the cancer had disappeared. Being a doctor, she was requested to explain this.

She suggested that possibly, the Sudarshan Kriya and meditation cleared her cells off stresses, leaving the layer of consciousness (or energy) surrounding those cells; which in turn, penetrated deep into her DNA. Reduce levels of stress (reduce Cortisol - the "stress" hormone)

Reduce cholesterol, Relieve anxiety and depression (mild, moderate and severe)
Increase anti oxidant protection, Enhance brain function (increased mental focus and faster recovery from stressful stimuli), Enhance health and well-being

(As told by Sri Sri Ravishankar)
